Always keep
vehicle in sight
and under control.
WARNING
OPERATION
ALWAYS turn on your transmitter before you turn on the receiver in the
car. Always turn off the receiver before turning your transmitter off.
ALWAYS operate 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 makes heat in the electronic speed control
(ESC). Overheating can damage the vehicle and failure may result.
MOTOR CARE
• Seat motor brushes by driving smoothly on a fl at surface during
use of the fi rst battery charge.
• Prolong motor life by preventing overheat conditions. Undue
motor wear results from frequent turns, stops and starts,
pushing objects, driving in deep sand and tall grass and driving
continuously up hill.
• Over-temperature protection is installed on the ESC to prevent
circuit damage, but cannot protect the motor from driving
against heavy resistance.
INSTALLING VEHICLE BATTERY
• Turn the thumb nuts on the chassis to remove the battery strap
holding the battery. Remove or install a battery and replace the
battery strap, locking the strap in place by turning the thumb nuts.
• You can put the foam blocks (ECX2015) in front of the battery so
the weight of the battery increases rear traction or in back of the
battery to increase steering response.
