qWhen your vehicle starts to lose power, it may lose functions or performance. It's time for a recharge. For best
stunt performance, always start with a fully-charged battery. Your vehicle's running time may change depending
on your driving style.
wRadio interference can make your vehicle run badly. Interference can be caused by other R/C vehicles running on
the same frequency; electrical wires; large buildings; CB radios; or other wireless gear. Try to stay away from
these!
ePoint your transmitter antenna up - not down toward your vehicle. If your vehicle gets too far away, it won't work
properly.
rDon’t drive your vehicle in sand or through water or snow. If your vehicle does get wet, wipe with a towel and
allow to dry completely.
tDon’t store your vehicle near heat or in direct sunlight. Always turn switches OFF and remove all batteries for
storage. We recommend that you store your vehicle with the super stunt arm retracted.

PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Your vehicle is equipped with advanced systems to
protect its electronic components.
SMART CIRCUITRY
Special “Smart Circuitry” is designed to cut your
vehicle’s power in the event it stalls or gets stuck. This
does not indicate a problem with the vehicle! Simply
release the transmitter controls for a few seconds, then
resume normal operation.
LED INDICATOR
The LED indicator can give you important information
about your vehicle’s status. In normal operation, the LED
is OFF.
• If the LED indicator comes on and glows steadily
(typically under extreme operating conditions), the
vehicle will stop running temporarily. This does not
indicate a problem with the vehicle! Simply release the
transmitter controls and wait until the LED indicator
goes off (this could take a couple of minutes). Don’t
remove or touch the vehicle battery while the LED
indicator is glowing steadily – the battery may be warm
to the touch.
• If the LED indicator comes on and flashes, you need to
recharge your vehicle’s battery. Simply turn the vehicle
switch OFF, remove the battery and recharge it. (You
may want to consider purchasing a spare battery for
non-stop driving action.)
1. To install the transmitter batteries, open battery door as
shown.
2. Install two LR6 (AA) batteries with polarity (+/-) as shown
inside battery compartment.
3. Close battery door.
