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.
• Use the supplied charger to charge the included battery.
• Never leave batteries to charge unattended.
• Remove the battery from the model while charging.
• Do not charge batteries inside of an automobile. Do not charge batteries while driving in an automobile. The charger is equipped
with a long cord intended to allow the battery to be charged outside of an automobile when using the automobile's
auxiliary power socket. If the cord will not reach outside of the automobile, find another power source.
• Never charge batteries on wood, cloth, carpet or on any other flammable material.
• Do not operate the charger in a cluttered space, or place objects on top of the charger or battery.
• Always unplug the battery from the electronic speed control when the model is not in use and when it is being stored
or transported.
• Allow the battery pack to cool off between runs (before charging).
• If a battery gets hot to the touch during the charging process (temperature greater than 140°F / 60°C), disconnect the
battery from the charger and discontinue charging immediately.
• Children should always have responsible adult supervision when charging and handling batteries.
• Always store battery packs safely out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not use battery packs that have been damaged in any way. Do not use battery packs that have damaged wiring,
exposed wiring, or a damaged connector as this may create the risk of fire.
• Do not short-circuit the battery pack. This may cause burns and severe damage to the battery pack and create the risk of fire.
• Do not burn or puncture the batteries. Toxic materials could be released. If eye or skin contact occurs, flush with water.
• Do not expose the charger to water or moisture.
• Do not disassemble the charger.
• Store the battery pack in a dry location, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
• Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Recycling Your NiMH Battery
It is strongly recommended that you recycle the vehicle battery when it has reached the end of its useful life. Do not throw the
battery in the trash. To find a recycling center near you, ask your local hobby dealer or visit www.call2recycle.org.
