Installing Receiver Batteries
The radio receiver in your Nitro 4-Tec uses 4 AA batteries. The
receiver battery holder is located underneath the top plate, just
to the right of the fuel tank.
1. Press the tab on the reusable zip tie to release the
battery holder.
2. Remove the battery holder
and install 4 AA alkaline
batteries. Make careful note
of the battery polarity by
comparing against the
diagrams in the battery
holder.
3. Stretch a rubber balloon
over the battery holder to
prevent fuel contamination.
4. Install the battery holder
into the car and secure it to
the top plate with the
reusable zip-tie. Make sure
the battery holder is secure
in the model and will not
come loose. If the tie wrap is
loose, it will interfere with
the middle drive belt.
If you use
rechargeable
batteries in your
receiver, be aware that
when they begin to lose
their charge, they lose
power much more quickly
than regular alkaline
batteries. Signs of weak
receiver batteries include
sluggish steering response
and shortened radio range.
Caution: Discontinue
running your Nitro 4-Tec at
the first sign of weak
batteries to avoid losing
control.
If the radio system
doesn’t appear to
work when the
transmitter and receiver
switches are turned on,
check for correct battery
installation.
