The drive battery must not be connected to the speed controller yet. First switch on the transmitter, see
chapter 9. c) and 9. d).
Important!
This vehicle is only suitable for a 6-cell NiMH drive battery (rated voltage 7.2 V) or a 2-cell LiPo drive battery
(rated voltage 7.4 V).

Lift the plastic tab (2).
Insert the drive battery so that the connection cable of the
drive battery points towards the front axle.
Then fasten the plastic tab again with the holding clip at
the chassis.
f) Connecting the Drive battery to the Speed Controller
To prevent sudden start-up of the wheels and therefore uncontrolled starting of the model (e.g. if the trim-
ming for the drive is maladjusted), place the model vehicle on a suitable support (or starting box), so that the
wheels can turn freely in case of an error. Do not reach into the drive. Do not hold the wheels.
First switch off the speed controller. The on/off switch (1)
can be found on the side of the speed controller (3).
Then switch on the transmitter if you haven‘t done so yet
(see chapter 9. c) and 9. d).
Now connect the drive battery to the plug (3) of the speed
controller.
Ensurecorrectpolarity(redcable=plus/+,blackcable=
minus/-).
Do not use any force for connection. Make sure that the ca-
bles do not get into the drive of the vehicle or the steering
mechanics. Use cable binders for fastening if required.
