Aerial Assembly.
Uncoil the aerial wire carefully so as not to kink or knot it in anyway, and first be sure to insert the wire up through the top chassis aerial mount hole from
below. Pull the rubber tube cap off the aerial tube and push the wire all the way through the aerial tube until the first 5mm of wire shows out of the other
end. Fold the wire down over the end of the tube and be sure to insert the rubber tube cap so that it traps the protruding wire to hold it firmly in the tube.
Push Aerial tube into mounting hole in upper chassis until firmly seated. Bundle any excess aerial wire neatly away from rotating components on the chassis.
Charging/Installing the Battery.
Always store your model with the battery pack unplugged and removed. Always charge your battery
away from the vehicle. The included 300mAh mains charger will take approx 6 hours to charge a fully
discharged battery, but always remove it from the charger if it becomes warm to the touch. Always
disconnect the charger from the mains supply and the battery pack when not in use. Keep children
away from charger and battery during the charging process.
To install a charged battery, remove the body clips and remove the bodyshell. Remove the battery
retainer clips, insert battery and reinstall retainer with the flat side facing the battery and re-insert
clips. When connecting battery and turning car on, ensure it is off the ground, with wheels away from
objects.
Notes on Battery use:
Always allow the battery cool after use, before recharging.
Always inspect the battery before charging.
Any bare wires, split heat shrink or leakage is a sure sign of abuse.
Never attempt to charge dead or damaged batteries.
Do not disassemble the battery or cut the connector wires.
If the battery connector gets hot enough to melt there is most likely a serious problem with your model, driveline, battery wires or speed controller. Find and
correct the problem before installing another charged battery pack.
NEVER charge the battery unattended incase of overcharging, you need to be able to monitor the battery during charging
Charge away from flammable objects and on a non-flammable surface incase the battery becomes too hot.
