Please note:
The ESC needs a minimum of 4.0 volts to function. When using low
power batteries or 4-cell NiMH/NiCd packs, the low voltage cut-off system can
activate. Before you run the car, the transmitter should always be switched on before
the ESC. After you have run the car, the ESC should always be switched off before
the transmitter. When you are storing your car, always disconnect the battery.
