All of us at Traxxas want you to safely enjoy your new Revo. Operate
your Revo sensibly and with care, and it will be exciting, safe, and fun
for you and those around you. Failure to operate your Revo 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
Revo is very fast! The Revo is intended for experienced users with a
high level of skill. The TRX 3.3 Racing Engine is extremely powerful
and may require skilled driving to maintain control. Children under
16 years of age and inexperienced drivers should not operate the
Revo without the supervision of a responsible and knowledgeable
(experienced) adult.
Model engine fuel is dangerous and highly poisonous.
Always
follow all directions and precautions printed on the fuel container.
Model engine fuel is poisonous to humans and animals. Drinking the
fuel can cause blindness and death. Handle with care and respect.
Model engine fuel, especially when in a fuel dispensing bottle, may
look like a cool drink to a child.
Keep all fuel out of the reach of
children at all times. Do not place fuel containers on the ground
where children can reach them while you are driving.
Model engine fuel is flammable. Never allow smoking, sparks,
heat or flame in the presence of fuel or fuel vapors.
The engine, brakes, and exhaust system may become extremely
hot during use. Be careful not to touch the parts, especially when
refueling or stopping the engine.
Prolonged exposure to the engine exhaust can be harmful. Avoid
breathing the engine exhaust. Always run your Revo outdoors,
in a well-ventilated area. Never run the engine indoors.
Do not operate your Revo at night, or anytime your line of sight to
the model may be obstructed or impaired in any way.
Never operate your Revo in crowds of people or busy pedestrian
areas. Revo is very fast and could cause injury to those unaware of
its presence. Keep small children at a safe distance away from the
operating area.
Because Revo is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio interference
from many sources beyond your control. Since radio interference can
cause momentary loss of control, always allow a safety margin in all
directions around your model to prevent collisions.
Do not kink the antenna wire. Kinks in the antenna wire will reduce range.
The engine can be loud. If the noise makes you uncomfortable, wear
ear protection. Be considerate of your neighbors by not running your
model early in the morning or late in the evening.
Do not cut the antenna “stinger” or any other part of the antenna
wire. Cutting the antenna will reduce range.
Extend the antenna as far as possible for maximum range. It is not
necessary to extend the antenna wire out of the body, but wrapping
or coiling the antenna wire should be avoided.
Do not allow the antenna wire to extend outside the body without
the protection of an antenna tube, or the antenna wire may incur
crash damage that could reduce range.
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 that were provided with the battery
packs and your charger. It is your responsibility to charge and care for
the battery backs properly. In addition to your battery and charger
instructions, here are some more tips to keep in mind.
Use the supplied chargers to charge the included batteries. See
“
Charging the Receiver Battery
” on page 10 and “
Charging the EZ-
Start Battery”
on page 24.
Never leave batteries to charge unattended.
Allow the battery pack to cool off before charging.
Do not use battery packs that have been damaged in any way.
Do not use battery packs that have damaged wiring, exposed
wiring, or a damaged connector.
Children should have responsible adult supervision when charging
and handling batteries.
Only use approved chargers for NiMH battery packs (such as
Part #2921 or the Traxxas TRX Power Charger, Part #3030X). Do not
exceed the maximum charge rate of 1 amp.
Do not short-circuit the battery pack. This may cause burns and
severe damage to the battery pack
Do not burn or puncture the batteries. Toxic materials could be
released. If eye or skin contact occurs, flush with water.
Store the battery pack in a dry location, away from heat sources
and direct sunlight.
Nickel Metal Hydride batteries must be recycled or disposed
of properly.
