WELCOME TO HOBBY GRADE R/C VEHICLES
Congratulations on your new hobby grade radio control vehicle. Hobby grade RCs offer many ad-
vantages over radio controlled vehicles sold in the toy department. One of the greatest advan-
tages to hobby grade RC vehicles is the ability to set up the vehicle the way YOU want it. This in-
cludes tuning the motor for top performance, changing gear ratios to better suit your terrain,
tuning adjustable suspension components like changing ride height and dampening, as well as
customizing the overall appearance of your vehicle. Redcat Racing hobby grade RC vehicles
were designed with all these characteristics in mind to provide you with much fun and adjustabil
ity.
Your new Redcat hobby grade RC vehicle may be small, but it is still incredibly fast. While this is
fun and exciting, it also comes with a great deal of responsibility. The momentum carried by RC
vehicles can be painful. Getting hit in the leg at top speed may hurt and serious injury is a possi-
bility. Although these small scale vehicles are very user friendly, property damage as well as
damage to your RC vehicle are still possible. Great care must be used while operating an RC ve-
hicle.
This is not a toy and should not be treated as one. Electric motors are powerful and should only
be used as directed. Follow the included instructions closely and be sure to keep hands away
from the hot surfaces of the motor and ESC. Make sure you read all included manuals completely
before attempting to run your RC vehicle or charge your battery pack.
The batteries in this RC vehicle are potentially dangerous. Follow all charging and operating in-
structions found in this manual as well as the ESC manual. If improperly used, property damage,
product damage, and potential injury to the operator may occur.
Redcat radio controlled vehicles are engineered for performance as well as durability. This means
shedding weight where ever possible and using complex suspension components. As you may
know, any RC vehicle, whether it be hobby or toy grade, can break. How and when it breaks de-
pends solely on your driving style. Unlike toy grade RCs, hobby grade RCs are designed with
parts replacement in mind. Spare parts are readily available from Redcat and more durable alu-
minum parts are available as well. It is recommended to keep spare parts on hand so if you run
into that oak tree at full speed, you will have the necessary replacement parts to get you up and
running again quickly.
Appearance is just as important as speed and handling. Who wants to go fast and look good
doing it? You do! That is why Redcat has also designed their vehicles to look as good as they
perform. Accessories may also be added to your vehicle to customize its looks. As mentioned
earlier, Redcat hobby grade RC vehicles are completely customizable and that is where the fun is
at.
Imagine yourself being on the pit crew of a full scale monster truck. Making suspension adjust-
ments for smoother landings or changing the gearing to get that hole-shot from the start. That is
the feeling you will get when adjusting the suspension on your new Redcat. Increase ride height
so you can clear the driveway with a single jump or thicken the oil inside the oil filled shocks to
make high speed laps around your front yard. The possibilities are endless with Redcat, so put on
you favorite pit crew cap, grab your Redcat and have the time of your life!
