GETTING STARTED
Determine Where to Run
You will need a very flat and smooth surface to run the models. Avoid
surfaces that have a large “crown” or dips/gutters to facilitate drainage.
Find an area that is blocked from access by vehicular and pedestrian
traffic. A distance of 100-330
feet is recommended for
scale representations of
drag racing. Remember to
leave adequate room to
safely decelerate and stop
your vehicle once you cross
the finish line.
Installing the Sun Shade
Slide the sun shade onto the top of the tree. Install the shade so MENU/
SET/OPTION label reads right-side up when facing the Starting Console.
Battery Installation
The DTS-1 System uses 8 AA batteries (4 in each console). The battery
compartments are located on the bottom of each console.
Note: The optional Traxxas rechargeable NiMH battery pack (#3037, sold
separately) can be used in place of the AA alkaline batteries.
1. Remove the battery compartment door by sliding the door open.
2. Remove the battery holder. Install 4 fresh batteries in the battery holder.
Correct orientation is indicated in the battery holder. Make sure the
battery holder is plugged into the console.
3. Reinstall the battery holder. Replace the battery door and snap it closed.
