1. Open the panel on the bottom of the transmitter.
2. Obey the battery plus (+) and minus (-) diagram in the 

transmitter to install 4 AA batteries.

3. Close the panel.

We recommend using only alkaline AA batteries in the 
transmitter.

CAUTION:

 If using rechargeable batteries, charge only 

rechargeable batteries. Charging non-rechargeable 

batteries may cause the batteries to burst, resulting in injury 
to persons and/or damage to property.

•  Never install damaged batteries.
•  Never install batteries of mixed types or of different ages in 

the transmitter.

•  Always remove exhausted batteries.
•  Always remove batteries before storing the transmitter.
•  Low battery power can result in loss of control of the RC 

vehicle.

GETTING STARTED

1. Install the transmitter batteries

2. Power ON the transmitter.

3. Connect the vehicle battery, or batteries, to the ESC

4. Do a test of the transmitter’s control of the vehicle with the 

vehicle’s wheels off the ground.

5. Start driving slowly, if the vehicle does not go straight, 

adjust the steering trim buttons on the transmitter.

NOTICE:

 The ESC will be supplied with 2 EC5  

connectors for 2 2S batteries installation. For a single 
4 cell battery, a DYNC0166 is installed into 1 of the 
ESC's EC5 connectors.

•  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.

CAUTION: 

If you stray very far from the stock gearing, you 

risk overheating the electronic components (motor, ESC and 

batteries) when play or bash style driving in heavy grass or muddy 
conditions. So for play or bash style running with a lot of stop and 
go style of driving, use the factory installed smaller pinion gear. 

•  If high speed runs are what you are after, use the supplied/

optional larger pinion gear. With this gearing, only run on hard 
smooth surfaces and avoid abrupt starts and stops. A cool-
down period between every couple of passes is recommended 
as well in order to keep the electronic components operating 
temperatures in check.

CAUTION: 

When play or bash style driving in heavy 

load conditions (such as in thick heavy grass or muddy 

conditions) or prefer a driving style that encounters a lot of stop 
and go throttle inputs, DO NOT use the larger optional pinion 
gear as it with overheat and shorten the life of the electronics.
