Attention!
The NiMH battery charger should only be used to charge a NiMH vehicle battery. Attempting to
chargeaLiPobatterywiththeNiMHbatterychargermaycauseareorexplosion!
A LiPo drive rechargeable battery should only be charged with a suitable LiPo charger (and a NiMH
rechargeable battery with a NiMH charger only). So if you want to purchase a LiPo drive rechargeable
battery for the vehicle, you will also need a suitable LiPo charger.
Always ensure that you use the correct type of battery charger.

Otherwise, the vehicle might react unpredictably.
Do the following:
- Before connecting the battery, place the vehicle on a suitable surface so that all wheels can move
freely.
- Switch off the speed controller.
- Switch on the remote control. Check that it functions correctly (e.g. remote control's operating display).
- On the remote control, set the trim for the throttle/brake function to the central position.
- Connect a fully-charged drive battery to the speed controller in the correct polarity.
