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
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.
