Important!
If a LiPo battery is used as a drive battery, check the basic settings of the speed controller used by you for
whetherundervoltageprotectionisactivated(werecommend3.0V/cell).Withtheundervoltagerecognition
deactivated, the LiPo battery will suffer deep discharge and be destroyed.
IfanNiMH-drivebatteryisused,deactivatetheundervoltagerecognition.
Observe the operating instructions for the speed controller used by you on this.
Removethebracket(A)of thebatteryholderbypulling

upwards.
Insert the drive battery so that the connection cable of the
rechargeable battery points backwards. Otherwise, the
connection cable could impair the steering mechanism in
its function.
Put on the bracket of the battery holder again and attach it
with the safety clips removed in the beginning.
j) Connecting the Drive Battery to the Speed Controller
First switch off the speed controller.
Then start the transmitter. Put the trimming for driving and steering into the centre position. Let go of the throttle lever
on the transmitter so that it is in the middle position.

wheels can turn freely in case of an error.
Do not reach into the drive. Do not hold the wheels.
