Battery Installation
Installing the LiPo Battery in Your Boat
(Always turn on the controller before connecting the
battery to the ESC.)
1. Remove the hatch by turning the hatch latch at the rear.
2. Insert the battery into the left side of the hull. Take note
of the hook and loop material for proper battery placement.
3. Attach the battery connector to the matching
connector inside the model. Listen for three
continuous beeps. (Initializing tones of the ESC.)
4. Replace the hatch. Make sure the insert tab at the front
of the hatch keys into the hull.
5. Secure hatch by turning hatch latch until it clicks.
NOTE: 1. There is a rubber ring placed along the slot of the hull. Always make sure it is secured properly
before re-positioning the hatch. Kinks or breaks in the rubber ring will cause water to enter hull.
2. When you are not using the boat, remove the rubber ring from the hull. This will keep the rubber
ring exible and help to ensure eective water-resistance for future use.
IMPORTANT: Always disconnect and remove the LiPo battery when not in use!
