PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
If the precautions are followed, and your Street Sport is
operated sensibly and with care at all times, it is exciting, safe,
and fun for you and your spectators. Failure to operate your
Street Sport in a safe and responsible manner could result in
property damage and injury. You alone must see to it that the
instructions are followed and the precautions are adhered to.
The Street Sport is not intended for use by children without
the supervision of a responsible adult. Every precaution out-
lined in this manual should be followed to help ensure safe
operation.
Traxxas Corporation shall not be liable for any
loss or damages, whether direct, indirect, special, inciden-
tal, or consequential, arising from the use, misuse, or
abuse of this product and any chemical or accessory
required to operate this product.
• Even though this model is named Street Sport, It is not
intended for use on public roads or congested areas where
its operation can conflict with or disrupt pedestrian or vehicu-
lar traffic.
• Do not drive the Street Sport at night.
• Never, under any circumstances, operate the Street Sport in
crowds of people. The Street Sport is very fast and could
cause injury if allowed to collide with anyone.
• Because the Street Sport 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 car in order to prevent collisions.
•
Most importantly, use good, common sense.
WARNING
Please read and follow all the instructions in this and the accompanying
manuals in order to avoid serious damage to your model. If these
instructions are not followed, the resulting damage will be considered
abuse and/or neglect thereby releasing both Traxxas and your dealer
from further warranty responsibility.
INTRODUCTION

Your new Street Sport incorporates two great features designed
to create a whole new standard for parking lot racing... direct
drive and four-wheel independent suspension. This manual con-
tains the instructions you will need to operate and maintain your
new Street Sport. If, for some reason, you think the Street Sport
is not what you wanted, then do not continue any farther. Your
hobby dealer
absolutely
cannot accept a Street Sport for return
or exchange after it has been run, or after any of the parts bags
have been opened.
Please read all of the Operating Instructions and precautions
before attempting to drive your new Street Sport. These instruc-
tions are written with the assumption that this is your first electric
model. Even if you are an experienced R/C enthusiast, please
continue reading to learn about the special features that make
the Street Sport so unique. Pay special attention to the mechani-
cal and safety precautions outlined in the manuals.

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
To operate the Street Sport, you will need these additional tools
and accessories. All of these items should be available from your
local hobby shop.
1. Eight “AA” size batteries for your transmitter
2. One 7.2V rechargeable Nicad battery pack
3. Battery charger for the 7.2V Nicad pack
4. Small Phillips head and flat screwdrivers (for adjustments)
5. Hobby knife for cutting the decals
WHERE TO RUN
Select an area that is isolated from people and traffic. Avoid
areas that are near water (pools, lakes, etc). Run the model only
on dry surfaces. Mud and water will damage the electronic com-
ponents and increase the wear on all mechanical parts. When
choosing an area to run, always consider what would happen if
you lost control of the car at full throttle.
CHARGE THE BATTERIES
The Street Sport requires a fully charged 7.2 volt Nicad battery
pack (not included). You can use either side-by-side racing style
pack or the more common stick pack. The battery compartment on
the Street Sport is designed to handle both. The Street Sport's
run time is greatly affected by the milliamp hour (mAh) rating of the
batteries. A 3000 mAh battery pack will theoretically run twice as
long as a 1500 mAh sport pack. We recommend that you use a
high-capacity battery and a high-quality peak detecting charger to
charge the battery. Because it takes some time to charge batteries,
begin charging your battery now as you get the Street Sport ready
to drive. Follow the charger manufacturer’s directions for charging
and caring for your battery packs.
