Pro Tips - Electric Tips
When using your model please make sure to TURN RADIO ON FIRST AND OFF LAST. Not doing this can cause issues and/or harm to the model. If your radio has a pull up antenna make sure it is fully extended to get maximum range.
Please make sure to charge all NIMH batteries at 1-2 amps for the first charge. The battery will not reach full life until 10-15 charge cycles. Lipo batteries can be charged at 1c. (1000mah battery at 1 amp)
NIMH and Lipo batteries can NEVER be run dead and should only be driven or flown until it slows down and/or gets to the voltage cut off.
NEVER leave batteries plugged into the charger unattended and never leave batteries plugged into a vehicle or aircraft. Always unplug them when you are done using.
Store NIMH batteries fully charged and Lipo batteries at half charge. Never store batteries uncharged.
