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.

Battery Installation:

1. Install the battery with the battery wires directed

towards the front of the vehicle.

2. Secure the hook and loop strap near the rear shock

tower.

3. Secure the hook and loop strap near the front shock

tower.

You may move the foam pad to either the front or the

rear of the battery compartment to adjust the weight

balance of the vehicle.

Peak Detection

Quick Charger

:: :: Quick Start GuideQuick Start Guide - (cont.) - (cont.)

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!

1) Slide the battery cover to remove cover.

2) Install alkaline or rechargeable AA size

batteries into the battery holder.

3) Slide the battery cover back into place making

sure it is completely closed and secure.

4) Turn the power ON. If the power indicator LED

fails to light, check the batteries for insufficient

contact or incorrect polarity.

On/Off Switch

:: :: Quick Start GuideQuick Start Guide - (cont.) - (cont.)

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. Plugging in a battery backwards can

cause damage.

Refer to Radio owners manual for more in-depth

instructions on radio operation and functions.
