SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

When the safety precautions are followed, 
the Brushless Evader will provide years 
of enjoyment. Use care and good sense 
at all times when operating this radio 
controlled vehicle. Failure to use this vehicle 
in a safe, sensible manner can result in 
injury or damage to property. You and you 
alone must insure that the instructions are 
carefully followed and all safety precautions 
are obeyed.

  Do not operate the Brushless Evader near 

people. Spectators should be behind the 
driver or at a safe distance away from the 
vehicle.

  Make sure to read the instructions with the 

battery and charger before charging.

  Do not leave any charger unattended 

during charging. If the battery or charger 
become hot at any time, disconnect the 
battery from the charger immediately! 
Failure to do so may cause permanent 
damage to the charger and battery and 
may cause bodily harm.

  When charging LiPo battery packs, always 

use a charge bag such as GPMP0751.

  The Brushless Evader features waterproof 

electronics allowing you to run in almost 
any conditions. However, to achieve long 
life, avoid immersing completely in water. 
After you are finished running, make sure 
that the electronics are dry to help avoid 
corrosion.

  Always turn on the transmitter before 

turning on the electronic speed control.

HELPFUL HINTS:

  Avoid working over a deep pile carpet. If 

you drop a small part or screw, it may be 
difficult to find.

  Place a mat or towel over your work area. 

This will prevent parts from rolling off and 
will protect the work surface.

  Avoid running the vehicle in cold weather. 

The plastic and metal parts can become 
brittle at low temperatures. In addition, 
grease and oil become thick, causing 
premature wear and poor performance.
