Safety
Precautions
IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
• Your model is not intended for use on public roads or congested areas where its
operation can conflict with or disrupt pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
• Never, under any circumstances, operate the model in crowds of people. Your model
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, battery, and electronic 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.
Your model’s electronic speed control (ESC) is an extremely powerful electronic device
capable of delivering high current. Please closely follow these precautions to prevent
damage to the speed control or other components.
• Disconnect the Battery: Always disconnect the battery from the car when not in use.
• Insulate the Wires: Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing to prevent
short circuits.
• 6-7 NiMH cells or 2-3 LiPo cells (2s/3s): The ESC can accept a maximum input voltage
of 8.4 volts (NiMH) or 11.1 volts (3s LiPo). Always adhere to the minimum and
maximum limitations.
• Transmitter on First: Switch on your transmitter first before switching on the speed
control to prevent runaways and erratic performance.
• Don’t Get Burned: The ESC and motor can become extremely hot during use, so be
careful not to touch them until they cool. Supply adequate airflow for cooling.
• Use the Factory-Installed Connectors: Do not change the battery and motor
connectors. Improper wiring can cause fire or damage to the ESC.
• No Reverse Voltage: The ESC is not protected against reverse polarity voltage.
