Battery Notes and Tip:
Plug the battery in as shown. Unplug battery when not in use!
There are two types of batteries you can use with this vehicle.
NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) and LiPo (lithium polymer).
LiPo: LiPo batteries (lithium polymer) are high current
rechargeable batteries. LiPo batteries offer extended run time
and peak performance over NiMH batteries. They require a
peak detection charger designed specifically for LiPo batteries.
LiPo/LiFe Charger: (Part # 604 - Reedy 526-S AC/DC 2S-6S
Cell LiPo/LiFe Balance Charger)
These batteries require specal care and handling.
LiPo batteries are recommended for advanced users only!
ALWAYS charge a LiPo battery in LiPo mode.
CAUTION! If using a LiPo battery, you need to change the speed
control settings to LiPo mode (see page 17 for instructions).
If using a 3S LiPo battery, you must use a smaller pinion gear
(use part #91164 13T Pinion). This will give you the correct gear
ratio for the extra power the 3S LiPo
battery will deliver.
Change the speed control to NiMH or LiPo battery modes.
*NOTE: The Transmitter & ESC come Pre-Programmed!
1) Make sure both TH. ATV (LO & HI) is set on your transmitter

Now the speed control is in NiMH (nickel metal mode).
If this is your desired setting, turn off your speed control and radio!
If not, do not select this mode and continue to step #9.
9) For Lipo Battery you will hear 1 tone, a pause, then 2 tones
pull and release trigger. You will hear two sets of two beeps
(bibi-bibi) and see four flashing green lights.
