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 conict with or disrupt pedestrian
or vehicular trafc.
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, batteries, 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 that were provided with the battery
pack 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 charger to charge the included
battery. See “Use The Right Charger” on page 11.
Never leave batteries to charge unattended.
Remove the battery from the model while charging.
Always unplug the battery from the electronic speed control
when the model is not in use and when it is being stored
or transported.
Allow the battery pack to cool off between runs
(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.
SPEED CONTROL
Disconnect the Battery: Always disconnect the battery from the
speed control when not in use.
Transmitter on First: Switch on your transmitter rst before
switching on the speed control to prevent runaways and
erratic performance.
Don’t Get Burned: The heat sink can get extremely hot, so be
careful not to touch it until it is cool. Supply adequate airow
for cooling.
Use Stock Connectors: If you decide to change the battery
or motor connectors, only change one battery or motor connector
at a time. This will prevent damage from accidentally mis-wiring
the speed control. Please note that modied speed controls can
be subject to a rewiring fee when returned for service. Removing
the battery connector on the speed control or using connectors
with no reverse-polarity protection on the speed control will void
the product’s warranty.
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 and/or
motor, 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 electronic speed control and void the 30-day warranty.
