SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

When the safety precautions are followed, the Evader EXT2.4
will provide years of enjoyment. Use care and good sense at
all times during operation. Failure to use this vehicle in a safe,
sensible manner can result in injury or damage to property.
You and you alone must insure that the instructions are
carefully followed and all safety precautions are obeyed.

Do not operate the Evader EXT2.4 near people. Spectators

➤

should be behind the driver or at a safe distance away from
the vehicle.

Do not leave any charger unattended during charging. If

➤

the battery or charger become hot at any time, disconnect
the battery from the charger immediately! Failure to do so
may cause permanent damage to the charger and battery
and may cause bodily harm.

The Evader EXT2.4 features waterproof electronics that allow

➤

you to run in almost any conditions. However, to achieve long
life, avoid immersing them completely in water. After you are
fi nished running, make sure that the electronics are dry to
help avoid corrosion.

Always turn on the transmitter before turning on the

➤

electronic speed control.

HELPFUL HINTS:

Avoid working over a deep pile carpet. If you drop a small

➤

part or screw, it may be diffi cult to fi nd.

Place a mat or towel over your work area. This will prevent

➤

parts from rolling off and will protect the work surface.

Avoid running the Evader in cold weather. The plastic and

➤

metal parts can become brittle at low temperatures. In
addition, grease and oil become thick, causing premature
wear and poor performance.
