SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read and follow all warnings, precautions, and instructions in this guide and any other documentation provided for your model to ensure safe operation. Failure to operate your model in a safe and responsible manner may result in property damage and serious injury. You alone are responsible for ensuring that all instructions and precautions are adhered to.
Important Points to Remember
- Your model is not intended for use on public roads or congested areas where its operation can conflict with or disrupt pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
- Never, under any circumstances, operate the model in crowds of people. Your model is fast and could cause injury if allowed to collide with anyone.
- Because your model is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio interference from many sources that are beyond your control. Since radio interference can cause momentary losses of radio control, always allow a safety margin in all directions around the model in order to prevent collisions.
- Don’t operate your model at night, or anytime your line of sight to the model may be obstructed or impaired in any way.
- Most importantly, use good common sense at all times.
Speed Control and Motor
Your model’s electronic speed control (ESC) is an extremely powerful
electronic device capable of delivering high current. Please closely follow
these precautions to prevent damage to the speed control or other components.
- Disconnect the Battery: Always disconnect the battery from the model when not in use.
- Insulate the Wires: Always insulate damaged or exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing to prevent short circuits.
- Transmitter on First: Switch on your transmitter first before switching on the model to prevent runaways and erratic performance.
- Don’t Get Burned: The ESC and motor can become extremely hot during use, so be careful not to touch them until they cool. Supply adequate airflow for cooling.
- Use the Factory-Installed Connectors: Do not change the battery connector. Improper wiring can cause fire or damage to the ESC. Please note that modified speed controls can be subject to a rewiring fee when returned for service.
- No Reverse Voltage: The ESC is not protected against reverse polarity voltage.
- No Schottky Diodes: External Schottky diodes are not compatible with reversing speed controls. Using a Schottky diode with your speed control will damage the ESC and void the 30-day warranty.
- Always adhere to the minimum and maximum limitations of the speed control as stated in the specifications table in the Owner’s Manual (complete manual available for download online).
Batteries and Battery Charging
WARNING: FIRE HAZARD!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE LIPO BATTERIES WITH THE TRAXXAS NiMH CHARGER
INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE.
Your model uses rechargeable batteries that must be handled with care for safety and long battery life. Make sure to read and follow all instructions and precautions for charging and maintaining the batteries. It is your responsibility to charge and care for the battery packs properly. In addition to your battery and charger instructions, here are some more tips to keep in mind.

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR MODEL
Check servo operation
Confirm the model’s wheels turn right and left when the transmitter steering
wheel is turned right and left. The front wheels should be pointing straight
ahead. If they are turned slightly, slowly adjust the steering trim knob on
the transmitter until they are pointing straight ahead.
Range test the radio system
With a friend’s help, check servo operation at the farthest distance you plan
to drive the model and confirm that there is no radio interference.
OPERATING YOUR MODEL
Avoid running your model in tall grass, deep sand, or other conditions that
severely limit the driving performance of the model. This will strain the
power system and could cause early motor failure. If the model becomes
stuck, do not apply throttle.
Free the model before continuing.

RUNNING IN WET CONDITIONS
Your model is designed with features to protect the electronics in the model (receiver, servo, electronic speed control). Although highly water resistant, the model should not be treated as if it is submersible or totally, 100% waterproof. Water resistance applies only to the installed electronic components; the transmitter is not water-resistant. Running in wet conditions requires additional care and maintenance to prevent corrosion and maintain proper function. Download the complete owner’s manual for full precautions and maintenance requirements. Read and understand all precautions before operating your model in wet conditions. The complete owner’s manual for your model can be viewed and downloaded by following the link on the cover of this manual or by scanning the QR code. Please read this entire manual for complete instructions on maintaining your model.
MOTORS AND GEARING
The gear combination that comes stock on each model provides good overall acceleration and top speed. If you want 25+mph top speeds, install the optional high-speed gearing (parts #7591 and 7592, sold separately). The optional high-speed gearing is only intended for high-speed running on hard surfaces, and is not recommended for off-road or repetitive starting and stopping or the motor will be damaged. Every 10-15 runs, remove and clean the motor by wiping away accumulated dirt and debris from around the motor shaft bushing on the pinion gear side of the motor. After cleaning, lubricate the bushings at each end of the motor with a drop of light-weight electric motor oil.

WARRANTY COVERAGE
Electronic Components
LaTrax electronic components are warranted to be free from defects in
materials and workmanship for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of
purchase. Electronic components consist of the radio system (transmitter,
receiver, servos, switches, chargers, adapters, and receiver battery holders)
and any other LaTrax electronic component. See the additional limitations that
apply.
Chassis and Driveline
The chassis and driveline consist of all remaining parts of the model that are
not considered electronic. This includes electric motors.
Your new model is considered to be a hobby-class model. We have made every
effort in component design, material selection, and assembly to make our
products as durable as possible. Because our products are high performance
hobby-class models that operate at a much higher level of performance than a
“toy”, require periodic maintenance, and are intended to be used in high-
performance applications over an extremely wide range of running conditions
and situations, no warranties are expressed or implied that cover damage
caused by normal use or wear, or cover or imply how long any chassis or motor
part will last before requiring replacement due to wear. Parts will wear from
use and occasionally require replacement. The chassis and driveline are only
covered against manufacturer’s defects in materials, workmanship, or assembly
when they are new (before being used).
If any component is found to be defective, incorrectly made, or incorrectly assembled within the warranty coverage time period (where applicable), it will be repaired or replaced at the sole discretion of LaTrax. This will be done within a reasonable time period and free of charge.
If you believe a defect in materials, workmanship, or assembly was not apparent when the product was new and only became evident after the product was used, then please contact LaTrax Technical Support. We stand behind our products and reputation and pledge to do our best to make sure you are satisfied with your LaTrax product.
Limitations
Any and all warranty coverage does not cover replacement of parts and
components damaged by abuse, neglect, improper or unreasonable use, crash
damage, water or excessive moisture, chemical damage, improper or infrequent
maintenance, accident, unauthorized alteration or modification, or items that
are considered consumable. LaTrax will not pay for the cost of shipping or
transportation of a defective component to us. This warranty is limited to the
charger only and does not cover batteries, vehicles, and other accessories
used in conjunction with the charger.
Your Hobby Dealer’s Role
All warranty claims are handled directly by LaTrax. Your dealer can assist you
in contacting LaTrax and determining which components might be defective, but
he is under no obligation to provide free replacement parts or service. LaTrax
does not authorize dealers to make over-thecounter exchanges or refunds for
LaTrax products that have been used. LaTrax will make the sole and final
determination if a product or component can be covered under warranty.
Limitations of Liability
LaTrax makes no other warranties expressed or implied. LaTrax shall not be
liable for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising
out of the assembly, installation, or use of their products or any accessory
or chemical required to use their products. By the act of operating/using the
product, the user accepts all resulting liability. In no case shall LaTrax’s
liability exceed the actual purchase price paid for the product. LaTrax
reserves the right to modify warranty provisions without notice. All warranty
claims will be handled directly by LaTrax. This warranty gives the customer
specific legal rights and possibly other rights that vary from state to state.
All dollar amounts stated are in United States dollars. The term “lifetime”
shall refer to the product’s production life at LaTrax. LaTrax is not
obligated to provide upgraded products at a reduced rate when a previous
product’s production cycle has ended.
LaTrax encourages you to register your model online atLaTrax.com.
Non-Warranty Service
LaTrax offers a lifetime electronics warranty plan. It requires no payment up
front. You only pay when you need the service.
LaTrax Lifetime Electronics Warranty
After the expiration of the warranty period, LaTrax will repair electronic
components for a flat rate of $15.00 US, plus $5.00 US shipping and handling.
The electronic products covered by this extended service plan include
electronic speed controls, transmitters, receivers, servos, and battery
chargers. Motors and mechanical speed controls are not covered. Other
mechanical repairs will be estimated separately. The covered repairs are
limited to non-mechanical components that have NOT been subjected to abuse,
misuse, or neglect. Products damaged by intentional abuse, misuse, or neglect
may be subject to additional charges. Electronic speed controls that have been
damaged by intentional abuse, misuse, water damage, or neglect may be subject
to charges in addition to the warranty charge. The maximum additional charge
will be automatically assessed when an electronic speed control has been
rewired with non-factory connectors. Factory-installed connectors must be in
place in order to connect the speed controls to factory test equipment. LaTrax
liability, in no case, shall be greater than the actual purchase price of this
product.
Procedure:
The electronic component being returned for repair should be removed from the
vehicle and returned to LaTrax, along with:
- Full payment in the form of a credit card number (MasterCard, Visa, or Discover) or money order (including shipping and handling)
- Completed Lifetime Electronics Warranty form (available online)
Do not send the entire model, only the damaged component. The package shipped to LaTrax should be insured to cover the value of a new replacement. LaTrax cannot be responsible for items lost in transit to LaTrax. Follow the guidelines in the section Preparing Merchandise for Shipment online at LaTrax.com.
International Customers:
International orders must be paid by credit card (MasterCard, Visa, or
Discover). Actual shipping charges will apply and are usually higher than
$5.00 U.S. If you want to approve the shipping charges prior to your product
being returned, then please supply a valid e-mail address and request approval
of actual shipping charges on the Lifetime Electronics Warranty form.
