SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

All of us at Traxxas 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 conflict with or disrupt pedestrian or vehicular traffic.

• Never, under any circumstances, operate the model in crowds of people. Your 

model is very 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, battery, and speed control 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.

Batteries and Battery Charging

Your model uses rechargeable batteries that must be handled with care for 
safety and long battery life. Make sure to read and follow all instructions and 
precautions for charging and maintaining the batteries. It is your responsibility 
to charge and care for the battery packs properly. In addition to your battery 
and charger instructions, here are some more tips to keep in mind.
• Do not charge batteries inside of an automobile. Do not charge batteries 

while driving in an automobile. 

• Never charge batteries on wood, cloth, carpet or on any other flammable material.
• Do not operate the charger in a cluttered space, or place objects on top of the 

charger or battery.

• If a battery gets hot to the touch during the charging process (temperature 

greater than 140°F / 60°C), disconnect the battery from the charger and 
discontinue charging immediately.

• Always store battery packs safely out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not short-circuit the battery pack. This may cause burns and severe 

damage to the battery pack and create the risk of fire.

• Do not expose the charger to water or moisture.
• Do not disassemble the charger.
• Never leave batteries to charge unattended.
• Remove the battery from the model while charging.

*Toll-free support is available to U.S. residents only.
