THINGS TO

KNOW

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When the safety precautions are followed, 
the Evader EXT2 will provide years of 
enjoyment. Use care and good sense at all 
times when operating this radio controlled 
truck. Failure to use this vehicle in a safe, 
sensible manner can result in injury or 
damage to property. You and you alone 
must ensure that the instructions are 
carefully followed and all safety precautions 
are obeyed.

•  Do not operate the Evader EXT2 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.

•  Do not cover the air intake holes on the 

charger during charging. This may cause 
the charger to overheat.

•  Do not allow the electronic speed control 

(ESC) or radio equipment to come into 
contact with moisture. Water can cause 
the electronics to short out and can cause 
permanent damage.

•  

Always turn on the transmitter before 
turning on the electronic speed control.

•  Before turning on your radio, check to 

make sure that no one else is running on 
the same frequency as your Evader EXT2.

HELPFUL HINTS

•  Avoid working over a deep pile carpet. If 

you drop a small part or screw, it may be 
diffi cult to fi nd.

•  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 truck 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.

•  Test fi t all parts before attaching

them permanently.
