Failure to operate your model 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
• Your model 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 model in crowds of
people. Your model could cause injury if allowed to collide with
anyone.
• Because your model is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio
interference from many sources that are beyond your control.
Since radio interference can cause momentary loss of radio
control, always allow a safety margin in all directions around the
model in order to prevent collisions.
• The motor, battery, and speed control can become hot during use.
Be careful to avoid getting burned.
• Don't operate your model 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.
Speed Control
Your model's electronic speed control (ESC) is an extremely
powerful electronic device capable of delivering high current.
Please closely follow these precautions to prevent damage to the
speed control or other components.
• Disconnect the Battery: Always disconnect the battery from the
speed control when not in use.
• Insulate the Wires: Always insulate exposed wiring with heat
shrink tubing to prevent short circuits.
• 6-7 NiMH cells or 2-3 LiPo cells (2s/3s): The ESC can accept a
maximum input voltage of 8.4 volts (NiMH) or 11.1 volts (3s LiPo).
Always adhere to the minimum and maximum limitations of the
ESC as stated in the specifications table.
• Transmitter on First: Switch on your transmitter first before
switching on the speed control to prevent runaways and erratic
performance.
• Don't Get Burned: The ESC and motor can become extremely hot
during use, so be careful not to touch them until they cool. Supply
adequate airflow for cooling.
• Use the Factory-Installed Connectors: Do not change the battery and
motor connectors. Improper wiring can cause fire or damage
to the ESC.
• No Reverse Voltage: The ESC is not protected against reverse
polarity voltage.
Recycling RC4WD 6-Cell 3000mAh NIMH Battery Pack
RC4WD strongly encourages you to recycle RC4WD 6-Cell 3000mAh
NIMH Battery Pack batteries when they reach the end of their useful
life. Do not throw batteries in the trash. All RC4WD 6-Cell 3000mAh
NIMH Battery Packs display the RBRC (Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation) icon, indicating they are recyclable. To find a
recycling center near you, ask your local hobby dealer or visit
www.call2recycle.org.
Your model is able to use LiPo batteries.
Charging and discharging batteries has the
potential for fire, explosion, serious injury, and property damage
if not performed per the instructions. Before use, read and follow
all manufacturer's instructions, warnings, and precautions. In
addition, Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries pose a SEVERE risk of
fire if not properly handled per the instructions and require special
care and handling procedures for long life and safe operation. LiPo
batteries are intended only for advanced users that are educated
Safety Information
on the risks associated with LiPo battery use. RC4WD does not
recommend that anyone under the age of 14 use or handle LiPo
battery packs without the supervision of a knowledgeable and
responsible adult. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions.
Important Warnings for users of Lithium Polymer (LiPo)
batteries:
• LiPo batteries have a minimum safe discharge voltage threshold
that should not be exceeded. The electronic speed control is
equipped with built-in Low-Voltage Detection that stops the
vehicle when LiPo batteries have reached their minimum voltage
(discharge) threshold. It is the driver's responsibility to stop
immediately to prevent the battery pack from being discharged
below its safe minimum threshold.
• Low-Voltage Detection is just one part of a comprehensive plan
for safe LiPo battery use. It is critical to follow all instructions for
safe and proper charging, use, and storage of LiPo batteries. Make
sure you understand how to use your LiPo batteries. If you have
questions about LiPo battery usage, please consult with your local
hobby dealer or contact the battery manufacturer. As a reminder,
all batteries should be recycled at the end of their useful life.
• ONLY use a Lithium Polymer (LiPo) balance charger with a balance
adapter port to charge LiPo batteries. Never use NiMH or NiCad type
chargers or charge modes to charge LiPo batteries. DO NOT charge
with a NiMH-only charger. The use of a NiMH or NiCad charger or
charge mode will damage the batteries and may cause fire and
personal injury.
• NEVER charge LiPo battery packs in series or parallel. Charging
packs in series or parallel may result in improper charger cell
recognition and an improper charging rate that may lead to
overcharging, cell imbalance, cell damage, and fire.
• ALWAYS inspect your LiPo batteries carefully before
charging. Look for any loose leads or connectors,
damaged wire insulation, damaged cell packaging, impact
damage, fluid leaks, swelling (a sign of internal damage), cell
deformity, missing labels, or any other damage or irregularity.
If any of these conditions are observed, do not charge or use
the battery pack. Follow the disposal instructions included with
your battery to properly and safely dispose of the battery.
• DO NOT store or charge LiPo batteries with or around other
batteries or battery packs of any type, including other LiPos.
• Store and transport your battery pack(s) in a cool dry place.
DO NOT store in direct sunlight. DO NOT allow the storage
temperature to exceed 140°F or 60°C, such as in the trunk of a
car, or the cells may be damaged and create a fire risk.
• DO NOT disassemble LiPo batteries or cells.
• DO NOT attempt to build your own LiPo battery pack from
loose cells.
Charging and handling precautions for all battery types:
• BEFORE you charge, ALWAYS confirm that the charger
settings exactly match the type (chemistry), specification, and
configuration of the battery to be charged.
• DO NOT attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries (explosion
hazard), batteries that have an internal charge circuit or a protection
circuit, batteries that have been altered from original manufacturer
configuration, or batteries that have missing or unreadable labels,
preventing you from properly identifying the battery type and
Specifications.
