All of us at Traxxas want you to safely enjoy your new E-Maxx.
Operate your E-Maxx sensibly and with care, and it will be
exciting, safe, and fun for you and those around you. Failure to
operate your E-Maxx in a safe and responsible manner may
result in property damage and serious injury.The precautions
outlined in this manual should be strictly followed to help
ensure safe operation.You alone must see that the instructions
are followed and the precautions are adhered to.
Important Points to Remember
The truck is not intended for use on public roads or
congested areas where its operation can conflict with or
disrupt pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
Never, under any circumstances, operate the truck in crowds
of people.The truck is very fast and could cause injury if
allowed to collide with anyone.
Because the truck is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio
interference from many sources that are beyond your
control. Since radio interference can cause momentary
losses of radio control, always allow a safety margin in all
directions around the model in order to prevent collisions.
The motors, batteries, and speed control can become hot
during use. Be careful to avoid getting burned.
Don’t operate your E-Maxx at night, or anytime your line of
sight to the model may be obstructed or impaired in any way.
Most importantly, use good common sense at all times.
