:: Quick Start Guide
Battery Charging Steps and Safety:
Remove the battery from the vehicle before charging.
Place battery on a fire resistant surface.
Avoid any contact with water or other liquids.
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.
Peak Detection
Quick Charger
Battery Installation:
- Install the battery with the battery wires directed towards the rear of the vehicle.
- Secure the battery strap using two body clips.
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.
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.
On/Off Switch
DO NOT hold the trigger when turning on the radio.
If using optional battery for transmitter, be sure to plug it in correctly. Plugging in a battery backwards can cause damage.
Refer to Radio owners manual for more in-depth instructions on radio operation and functions.

Set The Gear Mesh:
To set the gear mesh, push the teeth of the motor mount cam #21531 into the
corresponding tooth pattern of the motor mount insert. Once the teeth are
seated, you should be able to rock the spur gear back and forth without making
the pinion gear move.
Excessive amounts of spur gear movement (loose gear mesh) will cause premature
gear failure. If the spur gear mesh is tight, there will be no movement
between the spur and pinion gears. A gear mesh that is too tight or too loose
will reduce power and damage the gear teeth.
