IMPORTANT POINTS TO REI\,4EMBER:
Always, turn on your transmitter first before turning on your vehicle's rece ver switch. When
turning an R/C ve h icle off, the order is just the o p posite; Turn the receiver switch off first and then
tu rn the transm itter off. Just remember that when your tru ck is tu rn ed ON, your transmitter shou ld
always be turned ON. lf not, '1108S will no lon g er be under the control of your transmitter, and
could unexpectedly take off on its own, causing damage to itself and other people.
Never use old, worn out batteries in your transmitter or truck. Use only fresh a lka lin e batteries or
fu lly charged rechargeable batteries to ensure that you will not exceed the range of your radio
system while d rivin g your truck. lt is also very important to stop your truck im med iately when you
begin to see that it is slowing down. This means the batteries in your truck are close to be ing fully
d ischa rged, and if you contin u e to run you r tru ck after it has slowed, it may run "out of co ntro l"
since it does not have sufficient voltage left to receive the sig na ls from your transmitter.
Only run you r 110BS in safe, ope n areas th at will not put anyth in g or anyone in danger of a
collision. Use common sense when driving your truck to ensure that you will not cause potentia I
hazard to anyone (crowds of people and confined areas should be avo id ed ). Although 1108S is
small and l!ghtweight, it can still hurt when it runs into you at ankle height. lt can also startle
someone who is not expecting it, so it is extremely important to ALWAYS keep a safe distance
between any peo p le and the path of your tru ck (d o n't forget th is includes yourself)l
Never run your 1108S through p udd les, wet g rass, snow or any other type of moistu re. Also never
use any liq u id clea n e rs around the electron ic components on your ve h icle. Any small amount of
moisture can cause several damage to your electronics.
lf you will be running your 1'l0BS with other R/C vehicles, always confirm before tu rn ing your
tra ns m itter on, th at no one else is using you r same freq ue ncy channel. lf n ece ss a ry, you may
change frequencies(Certainly this is not related to 2.4G transmitter.)
Always let your motor and battery cool down completely between runs. The motor needs to cool
completely at the end of charging before u sing aga in. Heat is a big enemy of electric motors. Over
heating the motor will shorten its life and can cause it to fail. Prolonged running on high d rag
surfaces like grass, carpet etc. can heat the motor up and cause possible failure.
WHAT ELSE lS NEEDED: 8 "AA" alkaline batteries (for the radio
transmitter)
GETTING STARTED
1, INSTALLING TRANSI\4ITTER BATTERIES
lnstall 8 new "AA" batteries into your vehicle transmitter. Check the
life and proper installation of your batteries by switching the transmitter 4>
to on. On vehicle transmitters, you should see allthree LED's light up
(red, yellow, and g reen ). lf you do not, your batteries may be low on voltage or you may not have
installed them allcorrectly. As the life of yourtransmitter batteries begins to decline, the green
LED will no longer lig ht. When you notice that you are down to only the yel ow and red lig hts, th is
is a caution sign that it is time to install new batteries. lf you continue operating your Blade. and
see that the yellow lig ht goes out (and only the red lig ht is lit), STO P lM l\,1E D IATE LYI You r veh icle
may easily travel out of range causing you to lose all control, which could resu t in a co llis ion
ca u sing damage to the ve h icle or other property.
2. CHARGING YOUR VEHICLE
Charge your 1108S battery pack. Connect the charger to your battery pack (lt will only plug in one
direction)and then plug the charger into a standard wall outlet. Charging takes approximately 3-4
hours. When the battery is charged unplug the charger and connect the b atte ry to you r s peed
control's battery plug. Your ve h icle charger will safely ch a rge your ba tte ry pack and not over
charge it. Be carefulwhen using after market chargers that you do not overcharge the battery
pa ck and ruin it.
