•  ALWAYS turn on your transmitter before you turn on the 

receiver in the vehicle. Always power off the receiver before 

turning your transmitter off.

•  ALWAYS operate your vehicle in a wide open area. Operating 

the vehicle in a small space or indoors can cause overheating 

at low speeds. Operating at low speed increases heat in the 

electronic speed control (ESC). Overheating can damage the 

vehicle and failure may result.

When you are  fInIshed

•  Seat the motor brushes by driving smoothly on a flat surface 

during use of the first battery charge. 

Failing to do so can 

greatly reduce motor performance and functional life.

•  Prolong motor life by preventing overheating conditions.  

Undue motor wear results from frequent turns, stops and 

  starts, pushing objects, driving in water and tall grass,  

and driving continuously up hill.

•  Over-temperature protection is installed on the ESC to 

prevent circuit damage, but cannot protect the motor  

from driving against heavy resistance.

Motor care

1. Power off the Electronic 

Speed Control (ESC).

2. Disconnect the battery.

4. Remove the battery from the vehicle.

3. Power off the transmitter.

5. Recharge the battery.
