ENGLISH
• Maintain sight of the vehicle at all times.
• Routinely inspect the vehicle for loose wheel hardware.
• Routinely inspect the steering assembly for any loose hardware. Driving the vehicle off-road can cause fasteners to loosen over time.
• Stop driving the vehicle when you notice a lack of power. Driving the vehicle when the battery is discharged can cause the receiver to power off. If the receiver
loses power, you will lose control of the vehicle. Damage due to an over-discharged Li-Po battery is not covered under warranty.
cAutiOn:
Do not discharge a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become
damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fire when batteries are charged.
• Do not apply forward or reverse throttle if the vehicle is stuck. Applying throttle in this instance can damage the motor or ESC.
• After driving the vehicle, allow the electronics to cool before driving the vehicle again.
imPORtAnt:
Keep wires away from all moving parts.
The largest factor in run time is the capacity of the battery pack. A larger mAh rating increases the amount of run time experienced.
The condition of a battery pack is also an important factor in both run time and speed. The battery connectors may become hot during driving. Batteries will lose
performance and capacity over time.
Driving the vehicle from a stop to full speed repeatedly will damage the batteries and electronics over time. Sudden acceleration will also lead to shorter run times.
tO imPROVe Run times
• Keep your vehicle clean and well maintained.
• Allow more airflow to the ESC and motor.
• Change the gearing to a lower ratio. A lower ratio decreases the operating temperature of the electronics. Use a smaller pinion gear or larger spur gear to lower
the gear ratio.
• Use battery packs with a higher mAh rating.
