:: Quick Start Guide Battery Charging Steps and Safety:
Remove the battery from the vehicle before charging. Place battery on a fire resistant surface. Avoid any contact with water or other liquids. Be sure to select the correct charging mode for the type of battery you are charging.
ALWAYS use a compatible charger for charging your batteries.
Caution: Never leave the battery unattended while charging. Always disconnect the charger from the power source when finished charging.
Caution: Always disconnect the battery when you are finished driving the vehicle.
:: Quick Start Guide - (cont.) Battery Installation:
1. Install the battery with the battery wires directed towards the front of the vehicle.
2. Secure the hook and loop strap near the rear shock tower.
3. Secure the hook and loop strap near the front shock tower.
You may move the foam pad to either the front or the rear of the battery compartment to adjust the weight balance of the vehicle.

:: Quick Start Guide - (cont.) Battery Notes and Tip:
Connect the battery as shown. Disconnect the battery when not in use! LiPo: LiPo batteries (lithium polymer) are high current rechargeable batteries. LiPo batteries offer extended run time and peak performance over NiMH batteries. They require a peak detection charger designed specifically for LiPo batteries. These batteries require special care and handling. LiPo batteries are recommended for advanced users only! ALWAYS charge a LiPo battery in LiPo mode. If using a 3S LiPo battery, use a smaller pinion gear as a starting point (use part #1335 17T Pinion). This provides the correct gear ratio required for the more powerful 3S LiPo battery. Gearing will depend on the surface you are running on, and the size of the track/area that you are driving in.
:: Quick Start Guide - (cont.) Radio System Tuning and Controls:
RULE: Transmitter on First/Vehicle on Second, Vehicle off First/ Transmitter off Last!
1) Slide the battery cover to remove cover. 2) Install alkaline or rechargeable AA size
batteries into the battery holder. 3) Slide the battery cover back into place making
sure it is completely closed and secure. 4) Turn the power ON. If the power indicator LED
fails to light, check the batteries for insufficient contact or incorrect polarity.

:: Quick Start Guide - (cont.) Radio System Tuning and Controls:
DO NOT hold the trigger when turning on the radio.
If using optional battery for transmitter, be sure to plug it in correctly. Plugging in a battery backwards can cause damage.
Refer to Radio owners manual for more in-depth instructions on radio operation and functions.
Adjust steering trim so front wheels point straight.

Pull shock shaft down. Fill shock body 3/4 full with silicone fluid. Slowly move the shock shaft up and down to remove air from under piston. Wait for bubbles to come to surface. Fill shock body to top with silicone fluid. Place a drop of oil in the cap and on cap threads. Install cap and tighten completely. Slowly compress shaft all the way to the top. If there is pressure at the top of the stroke, there is too much oil or air. You must bleed it out. Slowly pull shaft out. Unscrew the cap 3/4 turn and tilt the shock at a slight angle. Slowly compress the shaft to push out excess oil and air. You should see bubbles coming out from under the cap. With the shaft compressed, tighten the cap and re-check for pressure at the top of the stroke. If there is still pressure, repeat steps 9 thru11.
