Thank you for choosing the Mini Sprint from Losi. This guide contains the basic instructions for 
operating your new Mini Sprint. While the Mini Sprint is great for first-time R/C drivers, it does require 
some mechanical experience and/or parental supervision for drivers under 14. It is critical that you 
read all of the instructions in order to operate your model correctly and avoid unnecessary damage. 
Please take a moment to look over all the printed materials before operating your new Mini Sprint.
