q
Remove the four clips that hold the body onto the chassis, then remove the
body from the chassis.
iMpoRtant Be careful not to lose the four circular foam pads that are
installed between the body and the body mounting posts.
q
Plug the battery connector on the charger into the battery connector on the
battery.
+
As a safety feature, the connectors can only be plugged in one way.
q
Plug the battery charger into an AC wall outlet and charge the battery for
the length of time determined in the formula above. In most cases this will
be between 2 and 2-1/2 hours.
Depending on the region that you purchased your Rage 1/18th 4WD Electric Off Road Truck from will determine the type of charger
that is included. The type of charger will determine the amount of time you should charge the battery. Please look carefully at the
charger in your set. It will list the charger output in mA hours. For example: OUTPUT 7.2V - 500mA. To determine how long to charge
the battery, divide the mA Output by the total mAh of the battery (1100mAh). In this case 1100mAh / 500mA = 2.2 hours. So, you
would charge the battery for between 2 and 2-1/2 hours to achieve a full charge.
l
Always remove the battery from the chassis for the charging process.
l
Always allow the battery to cool before recharging it.
l
If the battery gets hot during the charging process, unplug it from the charger immediately.
l
Always fully discharge the battery before recharging it to ensure that it doesn't overcharge.
l
Never leave the battery unattended during the charging process.
deteRMining chaRge tiMe and batteRy chaRging tips
iMpoRtant The battery comes from the factory partially charged. For the first charge, only charge the battery for approximately
1 to 1-1/2 hours. This will ensure that you don't over-charge the battery.
You may wish to upgrade the included AC charger in your set with an AC
peak-detection fast charger. This type of charger can charge the battery in
approximately 30 minutes. We recommend the Pro-Peak Delta Base AC Peak-
Detection Charger (P/N 158331 (US) / O-IP1500 (UK) / O-IP1500/EUR (Europe)).
Additionally, you will also require an adaptor lead (XTM3876) to allow you to
connect the Delta Base charger to the Rage 1/18th 4WD Electric Off Road
Truck's included 7.2V 1100mAh NiMH battery pack.
