❑ Install 4 AA Alkaline batteries into the battery holder, double-checking to make sure
that the polarity (+ & -) is correct.
IMPORTANT Make sure that the batteries are pushed rmly into place. They should
not be loose. For additional security we recommend tting an elastic band or similar
around the battery holder which will prevent the cells from coming loose when doing
jumps, etc. If for any reason the plug from the battery holder (male red plug) is not
plugged into the switch (female red plug), plug them together now. The plugs can
t together only one way.
❑ Remove the four screws from the receiver mounting box cover, then remove the
cover.
❑ Uncoil the receiver antenna and feed it out through the hole in the antenna mount.
❑ Reinstall the cover, making sure not to pinch any of the wires.
❑ Check to ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the 'OFF' position.
❑ Open the battery box cover by removing the retaining clip and pulling up on the front of
the cover. The battery box cover is hinged at the back for convenience.
❑ Remove the battery holder from the battery box.
❑ Slide the receiver antenna into one end of the plastic antenna tube and out
the other end.
PRO TIP We recommend applying the smallest amount of lubricant (shock oil, etc.) to the
tip of the receiver antenna to more easily thread it through the antenna tube.
❑ Push the end of the antenna tube rmly into the antenna mount (you may have to loosen
the nut), then gently tighten the nut to lock the antenna tube into place.
IMPORTANT Leave the excess antenna hanging from the top of the tube. Under no
circumstances should you cut the antenna shorter.

❑ Reinstall the battery holder into the battery box and secure the battery box cover back into place, using the retaining clip provided.
If you would like to upgrade to a rechargeable NiMH battery pack, instead of using Alkaline dry cells, we suggest
using a high-quality 5 cell 1000mAH NiMH RX Battery Pack. Not only will this battery pack be rechargeable,
but because it's a 5-cell battery, it will operate the servos at a higher power rating and faster speed.
We also suggest upgrading the on/off switch to one that includes a separate charge cord.
This will allow you to charge the receiver battery without removing the battery box cover.
When installing the switch, make sure that you leave the charge cord outside of the
receiver box, but secured to the chassis, so it doesn't get damaged.
WARNING Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The batteries could explode
and cause serious injury.
