Thank you for purchasing the DuraTrax Maximum MT Pro.
This manual contains the instructions you need to build,
operate and maintain your new nitro R/C stadium truck.
Read over this manual thoroughly before building or
operating the Maximum MT Pro.
When the safety precautions are followed, the Maximum MT
Pro will provide years of enjoyment. Use care and good
sense at all times when operating this radio controlled
stadium truck. Failure to use this vehicle in a safe, sensible
manner can result in injury or damage to property. You and
you alone must insure that the instructions are carefully
followed and all safety precautions are obeyed.
• Do not operate the Maximum MT Pro near people.
Spectators should be behind the driver or at a safe
distance away from the vehicle.
• The engine and exhaust produces quite a bit of noise. If
you are disturbed by the amount of noise this truck
produces, wear ear protection such as earplugs. Do not
run this vehicle when or where it can disturb others.
• The engine and exhaust can become very hot. Avoid
touching any of these parts during use and until they
have cooled down.
• Model engine fuel is poisonous. Make sure you read and
follow all of the precautions on the fuel container. Keep
fuel out of the reach of children.
• Model engine fuel is flammable and when ignited has a
flame that is difficult to see. Avoid sparks, flames,
smoking, or any other ignition source when fuel is near.
• The engine emits carbon dioxide just like real cars. Do
not operate this model indoors.
• Before turning on the transmitter, make sure that no one
else is on your frequency.
• Avoid working over a deep pile carpet. If you drop a small
part or screw, it will be difficult to find.
• Place a mat or towel over your work surface. This will prevent
parts from rolling off and will protect the work surface.
• Avoid running the truck in cold weather. The plastic and
metal parts can become brittle at low temperatures. In
addition, grease and oil become thick, causing
premature wear and poor performance.
• Test fit all parts before attaching them permanently.
We have engineered the Maximum MT Pro to take the rough
and tumble abuse that makes R/C stadium trucks fun. We
