FOR YOUR SAFETY - PLEASE READ THESE WARNINGS!

GENERAL TRUCK WARNINGS

Under no circumstances should you operate your model in

crowds of people.  Serious injury could result.

Never operate your model on busy streets or if there are cars

around.  Never drive your model at night, either.

Do not use your model to chase pets or other animals.

The radio system included in your model is not waterproof.

Therefore, do not drive through water, wet grass, mud or snow.

Because your model is operated by radio control, it is impor-

tant to make sure you are always using fresh and/or fully charged
batteries.  Never allow the batteries to run low or you could
lose control of the model.

If your model becomes stuck, release the trigger to turn the

motor off, then retrieve your model by hand.

To prevent excessive r.p.m.'s from damaging the motor and/or

drive-train components we suggest reducing throttle while in
the air during jumps.

If you are testing the motor, be careful not to touch the drive

shafts, wheels or any other moving parts.  Serious injury could
result.

R/C models produce vibration when they are running.  It is

important to periodically check the chassis mounting screws
and fasteners.  Operating the truck with loose screws or fasteners
can lead to severe motor and/or chassis damage.

Because the chassis is assembled from molded nylon and

plastic parts, use of chemical spray cleaners is not recommended.
These cleaners may damage the parts.

If you should have any trouble with any of the steps listed in these Operating Instructions, we have provided a Troubleshooting Guide
beginning on page # 13.  The troubleshooting guide is provided to help you find a quick and immediate resolution to any number of
problems that might occur.  If you cannot solve a problem using the troubleshooter, or if you have any other questions or concerns,
please contact us below:

For Your Information

BATTERY WARNINGS

Always follow the directions provided with your battery

charger to charge the motor battery.

Periodically check the motor battery for excessive heat build-

up during charging.  If the battery is hot to the touch, remove it
from the charger and let it cool.  Never leave the motor battery
unattended while charging.

To prevent the motor battery from overheating during charge,

always allow the battery to completely cool before recharging.

Never over-charge the motor battery or serious damage to

the battery and/or user could result

RADIO SYSTEM WARNINGS

When turning on the truck, always turn on the radio

transmitter before turning on the truck.

When turning off the truck, always turn off the truck before

turning off the radio transmitter.

Always unplug the motor battery when not using the truck.

Never cut the receiver antenna shorter or you could lose

control of the truck.

When operating the truck, make sure the transmitter antenna

is completely extended.

Do not use a motor battery that has more than 7 cells or the

ESC will be damaged.

Eventually you may need to purchase replacement parts for your truck.  For your convenience, we have listed beginning on page # 14 the
replacement parts that are available for purchase.  When you need to purchase any parts, please call us at the phone number listed above.
