Quick Start Guide
Battery Charging Steps and Safety:
Remove the battery from the vehicle before charging.

Be sure to select the correct charging mode for the type of battery you are
charging.
ALWAYS use a compatible charger for charging your batteries.
Caution:
Never leave the battery unattended while charging.
Always disconnect the charger from the power source when finished charging.
Caution: Always disconnect the battery when you are finished driving the
vehicle.

Battery
Notes and Tip:
Connect the battery as shown.
Disconnect the battery when not in use!
LiPo: LiPo batteries (lithium polymer) are high current rechargeable
batteries. LiPo batteries offer extended run time and peak performance over
NiMH batteries. They require a peak detection charger designed specifically
for LiPo batteries. These batteries require special care and handling. LiPo
batteries are recommended for advanced users only! ALWAYS charge a LiPo
battery in LiPo mode.
If using a 3S LiPo battery, use a smaller pinion gear as a starting
point (use part #1335 17T Pinion). This provides the correct gear ratio
required for the more powerful 3S LiPo battery.
Gearing will depend on the surface you are running on, and the size of the
track/area that you are driving in.
Radio System Tuning and Controls:
RULE: Transmitter on First/Vehicle on Second, Vehicle off First/
Transmitter off Last!
- Slide the battery cover to remove cover.
- Install alkaline or rechargeable AA size batteries into the battery holder.
- Slide the battery cover back into place making sure it is completely closed and secure.
- Turn the power ON. If the power indicator LED fails to light, check the batteries for insufficient contact or incorrect polarity.
Radio System
Tuning and Controls:
DO NOT hold the trigger when turning on the radio.
If using optional battery for transmitter, be sure to plug it in correctly.
