SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
We 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 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 and battery 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.
Speed Control
• Disconnect the Battery: Always disconnect the battery
from the model when not in use.
• Transmitter on First: Switch on your transmitter first
before switching on the speed control to prevent
runaways and erratic performance.
• Don’t Get Burned: The motor can become extremely hot
during use, so be careful not to touch it until it is cool.
Make sure there is adequate airflow to the motor.
• Use the Factory-Installed Connectors: Do not change
the battery connector. Improper wiring can cause fire or
damage to the ESC. Please note that modified speed
controls can be subject to a rewiring fee when returned
for service.
• Insulate the Wires: Always insulate exposed or damaged
wiring with heat shrink tubing to prevent short circuits.
• No Reverse Voltage: The speed control is not protected
against reverse polarity voltage. When changing the
battery, be sure to install the same type of connectors
to avoid reverse polarity damage to the speed control.
Removing the battery connectors on the speed control
or using the same-gender connectors on the speed
control will void the product’s warranty.
• No Schottky Diodes: External Schottky diodes are
not compatible with reversing speed controls. Using a
Schottky diode will damage the ESC and void the 30-
day warranty.
Recycling Your NiMH Battery
It is strongly recommended that you recycle the vehicle
battery when it has reached the end of its useful life.
Do
not throw your battery in the trash.

center near you, ask your local hobby dealer or visit
