CONTROLS & FEATURES
❶STANDING START
Set your vehicle on the ground, leaning
on one of its side stabilizers. Push the
left stick forward to drive straight
ahead.
❷LAUNCH-START
Hold your vehicle steady on the ground
(keeping your fingers clear of the wheel
hubs). Gently guide your vehicle forward
while pushing the left stick forward.
❸“SCREECHING” STOP
While driving forward, quickly jam the
left stick back. Your vehicle will brake
to a quick stop with one of its side sta-
bilizers on the ground.
❹ GLIDE-STOP
While driving forward, release the sticks.
Your vehicle will glide to a stop with one
of its side stabilizers on the ground.
❺TURNING CIRCLE
Your vehicle’s “normal”turning circle is
about 30’/9m. For tighter circles, try
steering in the direction of the turn
while “pulsing”the left stick forward.
(This may take a little practice!)
❻BREAKAWAY RIDER FIGURE
Don’t operate your vehicle without the
breakaway rider figure attached: the
vehicle won’t balance properly without
it. The figure is designed to break away
on impact. To reattach the figure, snap
the figure into the seat, then rotate into
upright position as shown.

VI. POWER SYSTEM
(Batteries and Charger Not Included)
FOR DETAILED INFORMATION
REGARDING VEHICLE BATTERY
CHARGING AND SAFETY, PLEASE FOL-
LOW THE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
THAT CAME WITH YOUR BATTERY
PACK AND CHARGER.
Your vehicle will not operate without a
6.0V rechargeable NiCd battery pack
and charger. For best results, use only
a TYCO®R/C battery pack and charger.
To install the battery pack in this vehi-
cle, please refer to Section VII, “Bat-
tery Installation.”
Your vehicle is compatible with both
the TYCO®R/C Flash Charge™battery
pack and charger AND the TYCO®R/C
6.0V Jet Turbo®battery pack and
charger. The Flash Charge™power
system charges 8 TIMES FASTER than
conventional chargers…and less
charge time means MORE driving time!
PICK UP AN EXTRA BATTERY!
Charge additional battery packs ahead
of time for longer non-stop action!
V. QUICK TIPS
❶When your vehicle starts to lose
power, it may lose functions or per-
formance. It’s time for a recharge.
Your vehicle’s running time may
change depending on your driving
style.
❷Radio 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; or
CB radios. Try to stay away from
these!
❸Point your transmitter antenna up -
not down toward your vehicle. If
your vehicle gets too far away, it
won’t work properly.
❹Don’t drive your vehicle in sand or
through water or snow. After dri-
ving, remove any water from your
vehicle, wipe with a towel and
allow to dry completely.
❺Don’t store your vehicle near heat
or in direct sunlight. Always turn
switches OFF and remove all batter-
ies for storage.
