SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

We want you to safely enjoy your new model. Operate 
your model sensibly and with care, and it will be exciting, 
safe, and fun for you and those around you. Failure to 
operate your model in a safe and responsible manner 
may result in property damage and serious injury. The 
precautions outlined in this manual should be strictly 
followed to help ensure safe operation. You alone must 
see that the instructions are followed and the precautions 
are adhered to. 

Important Points to Remember

•  Your model is not intended for use on public roads or 

congested areas where its operation can conlict with or 
disrupt pedestrian or vehicular trafic.

•  Never, under any circumstances, operate the model in 

crowds of people. Your model is fast and could cause 
injury if allowed to collide with anyone.

•  Because your model is controlled by radio, it is subject 

to radio interference from many sources that are 
beyond your control. Since radio interference can cause 
momentary losses of radio control, always allow a safety 

margin in all directions around the model in order to 
prevent collisions. 

•  The motor and battery can become hot during use.  

Be careful to avoid getting burned.  

•  Don’t operate your model at night, or anytime your line 

of sight to the model may be obstructed or impaired in 
any way.

• 

Most importantly, use good common sense at all times.

Speed Control

• 

Disconnect the Battery: 

Always disconnect the battery 

from the model when not in use. 

• 

Transmitter on First: 

Switch on your transmitter irst 

before switching on the speed control to prevent 
runaways and erratic performance.

• 

Don’t Get Burned: 

The motor can become extremely 

hot during use, so be careful not to touch it until it is 
cool. Make sure there is adequate airlow to the motor.

• 

Use the Factory-Installed Connectors: 

Do not change 

the battery connector. Improper wiring can cause ire or 
damage to the ESC. Please note that modiied speed 
controls can be subject to a rewiring fee when returned 
for service.

• 

Insulate the Wires:

 Always insulate exposed or damaged 

wiring with heat shrink tubing to prevent short circuits.

• 

No Reverse Voltage: 

The speed control is not protected 

against reverse polarity voltage. When changing the 
battery, be sure to install the same type of connectors 
to avoid reverse polarity damage to the speed control. 
Removing the battery connectors on the speed control 
or using the same-gender connectors on the speed 
control will void the product’s warranty.

• 

No Schottky Diodes:

 External Schottky diodes are 

not compatible with reversing speed controls. Using a 
Schottky diode will damage the ESC and void the 30-
day warranty.

It is strongly recommended that you recycle the vehicle 
battery when it has reached the end of its useful life.

not throw your battery in the trash.
