Avoid rinsing the bearings and transmission. NOTICE: Never use a pressure washer to clean your vehicle.
EN QUICK START Please read the entire manual to gain a full understanding of the vehicle, fine-tuning the setup and performing maintenance. 1. Read the safety precautions found in this manual. 2. Charge a battery for the vehicle. Refer to the included charging warnings and instructions for battery charging information. 3. Install the AA batteries in the transmitter. Only use alkaline or rechargeable batteries. 4. Install the fully charged battery in the vehicle. 5.

REV) controls (Ensure proper function with a radio system test). Blinking Red: Battery voltage is critically low (below 4V). Replace transmitter batteries.
EN BINDING The included transmitter and receiver are bound at the factory. If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below. 1. Power ON the receiver. The receiver LED flashes slowly. 2. Insert the bind plug into the receiver’s binding pins. The receiver LED flashes rapidly. 3. Power ON the transmitter. 4. The receiver LED turns solid when binding is successful. Remove the bind plug. You must rebind when binding the receiver to a different transmitter.
EN OPERATION • ALWAYS turn on your transmitter before you turn on the receiver in the vehicle. Always power off the receiver before turning your transmitter off. • ALWAYS operate your vehicle in a wide open area. Operating the vehicle in a small space or indoors can cause overheating at low speeds. Operating at low speed increases heat in the electronic speed control (ESC). Overheating can damage the vehicle and failure may result. WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED 1. Power off the ESC. 2. Disconnect the battery.
EN MAINTENANCE SETTING THE GEAR MESH B The gear mesh has already been set at the factory. Setting the gear mesh is only necessary when changing motors or gears. C You must remove the vehicle’s gear cover (A) to make this adjustment. Proper gear mesh (how the gear teeth meet) is important to the performance of the vehicle. When the gear mesh is too loose, the spur gear could be damaged by the pinion gear of the motor. If the mesh is too tight, speed could be limited and the motor and ESC will overheat.
EN SHOCK ABSORBER PARTS SHOCK CLEANING REAR Oil-filled shocks require regular maintenance because the oil breaks down or gets dirty.
