Product Usage Instructions
Battery Charging
Before charging the battery, remove it from the vehicle and
place it on a fire-resistant surface to avoid any contact with
water or other liquids. Use a compatible charger for charging your
batteries and select the correct charging mode for the type of
battery you are charging. Never leave the battery unattended while
charging and always disconnect the charger from the power source
when finished charging.
Battery Installation
- Install the battery with the battery wires directed towards the
rear of the vehicle. - Secure the battery strap using two body clips.
Battery Notes and Tips
Connect the battery as shown and disconnect the battery when not
in use. LiPo batteries are recommended for advanced users only and
require special care and handling. LiPo batteries must be charged
in LiPo mode using a peak detection charger designed specifically
for LiPo batteries.
Radio System Tuning and Controls
Follow the rule of transmitter on first/vehicle on second or
vehicle off first/transmitter off last when using the radio system.
To install batteries into the transmitter, slide the battery cover
to remove it, install AA size batteries into the battery holder,
slide the battery cover back into place making sure it is
completely closed and secure, and turn the power on. If the power
indicator LED fails to light, check the batteries for insufficient
contact or incorrect polarity.

Set The Gear Mesh:
To set the gear mesh, push the teeth of the motor mount cam #21531 into the corresponding tooth pattern of the motor mount insert. Once the teeth are seated, you should be able to rock the spur gear back and forth without making the pinion gear move. Exessive amounts of spur gear movement (loose gear mesh) will cause premature gear failure. If the spur gear mesh is tight, there will be no movement between the spur and pinion gears. A gear mesh that is too tight or too loose will reduce power and damage the gear teeth.
