SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All of us at Traxxas 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 very 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, battery, and speed control 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.
Batteries and Battery Charging
Your model uses rechargeable batteries that must be handled with care for
safety and long battery life. Make sure to read and follow all instructions and
precautions for charging and maintaining the batteries. It is your responsibility
to charge and care for the battery packs properly. In addition to your battery
and charger instructions, here are some more tips to keep in mind.
• Do not charge batteries inside of an automobile. Do not charge batteries
while driving in an automobile. The charger is equipped with a long cord
intended to allow the battery to be charged outside of an automobile when
using the automobile’s auxiliary power socket. If the cord will not reach
outside of the automobile, find another power source.
• Never charge batteries on wood, cloth, carpet or on any other flammable
material.
• Do not operate the charger in a cluttered space, or place objects on top of
the charger or battery.
• If a battery gets hot to the touch during the charging process (temperature
greater than 140°F / 60°C), disconnect the battery from the charger and
discontinue charging immediately.
• Always store battery packs safely out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not short-circuit the battery pack. This may cause burns and severe
damage to the battery pack and create the risk of fire.
• Do not expose the charger to water or moisture.
• Do not disassemble the charger.
