You need to get batteries for the radio transmitter and the car receiver packs.
• Radio TX needs (8) eight AA batteries.
• Car needs (4) four AA Ni-cad batteries, Alkaline type batteries will work, but
braking will be reduced. The best is to use a 5 cell hump pack for increased
voltage..
Recommended Option:
You may want to upgrade the car battery pack to a Ni-Cad or NiHm 5 cell
type(600AE). This will give more run time. OFNA # 10211 or 10212 1000NiMh
