3. Walk away until you are at the farthest distance you plan to operate the vehicle.

5. If any erratic behavior is exhibited do not operate the vehicle,call customer service for further assistance.

Connect the ESC motor wires to the motor red-red & black-black.
Plug the receiver with into the throttle channel on the receiver. The black negative wire should be
towards the outside of the receiver.
Before plugging the battery into the ESC, make sure your transmitter is on and the throttle trim is set at
zero.
Connect the battery to the ESC, this will turn on the ESC.
Test forward and reverse control using the transmitter.
To calibrate the ESC, make sure the transmitter is on and the throttle control is at neutral.
Connect the battery to the ESC and wait 3 seconds to let the ESC initiate a self-test and automatic
throttle calibration.
