III. ANTENNA ASSEMBLY

Your antenna comes in two pieces – the base unit and the
metal scoping antenna. Remove the antenna from the top of
the transmitter and screw it into the cylindrical base in a
counter clockwise motion until it is firmly in place. Now pull up
on the antenna until it is fully extended. You can remove the
antenna for storage and place it back into the canal on top of
the transmitter once you’re done racing your vehicle.

IV. INSTALLING THE VEHICLES REAR WING

Your vehicle comes with an unnattached rear wing. To install
the wing onto the vehicle take the wing in hand and insert its
protruding dowels through the slots found on the wing mount
at the rear of the vehicle. Once the wing is securely in place
slide the supplied clips into the holes.

V. REMOVING THE CHASSIS COVER

In order to insert the Tyco® Pro Flexpak® battery into the
vehicle and set your desired racing channel you will need to
take off the chassis cover. To do this you will need to remove
two small black clips from the vehicle’s front and rear dowels.
Once you’ve removed the clips simply pull off the chassis
cover.

*

Make sure to place the clips in a safe spot for easy
retrieval. They ‘re pretty small and could easily get lost.

When you’re ready to put the cover back on the vehicle
make sure to first put the antenna through the right-hand
side chassis window (passenger seat side) and place the
FRONT end of the chassis cover on the front dowel first and
then push down on the back dowel. Re-insert the clips.

VI. MULTI-CHANNEL FEATURE

• Your vehicle features the advanced Hot Wheels® R/C Multi
channel system. This system lets you race your vehicle
head-to-head – against your friends (up to 8 drivers total) –
without any radio interference from your friends’ transmit­ters or vehicles. You must be racing against another Hot

Wheels® R/C Multichannel-equipped vehicle for this fea­ture to work.

• There’s one Multichannel selector switch on your vehicle,
and another one on your transmitter. The vehicle switch
has 3 positions: one for each Multichannel settingwhich
will allow for a total of 8 possible combinations.

The transmitter switch has 3 positions: one for each
Multichannel setting which will allow for a total of 8 possible
combinations.

• For successful operation, the vehicle switch and the
transmitter switch must be set to the same Multichannel
setting. When you’re driving by yourself, you can set the
switches to any of the 3 Multichannel settings (as long as
they match).

• When you want to race head-to-head, just make sure that
each driver (up to 8 drivers total) has a vehicle and
transmitter set to a different Multi channel setting.

*

You must be racing against another Hot Wheels® R/C
Multichannel-equipped vehicle for this feature to work.
A non-Multichannel vehicle, running on the same fre­quency as your vehicle, may interfere with operation of
your vehicle. If you are racing against a non­Multichannel vehicle, make sure that vehicle operates
on a frequency different from yours.

*

If you need to change the Multichannel setting, first
make sure that your vehicle is turned OFF. Change the
switch position as desired, making sure to change both
the transmitter AND the vehicle switches. Then turn
your vehicle back ON for more racing action. NOTE:
Make certain you’re not pressing a transmitter control
while changing selector switch position.

VII. BATTERY INSTALLATION

Requires a Tyco® 7.2V Pro FlexPak®(NiCd) battery pack for
vehicle and 4 AA alkaline batteries for transmitter .

Vehicle

1.Rotate the battery latch to the open position. Open the battery
door.

2.Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment as shown.

*

Be careful not to place your fingers into the open hole at the
bottom of the chassis when inserting the battery.

3.Close the battery door. Rotate the battery latch to the locked
position.

4.To remove the battery pack: first turn the vehicle off, turn the
latch on the battery compartment, open the battery door and
lift out the battery pack.

Transmitter

1. Open the battery door as shown.

2. Install 4 “AA” batteries inside the battery compartment as shown.

3. Close the battery door.

VIII. RIM AND TIRE REMOVAL

You can replace your tires, rims or both. To replace the rims use
the supplied lug wrench embedded in your transmitter to
remove the bolts then simply swap out the tires and re-attach
the bolts. To remove the tires just peel back and pull off the rub­ber treads and replace them with a new set.

IX. ADJUSTING THE SUSPENSION

Your vehicle is equipped with adjustable 4-wheel independent
suspension. You’ll want to raise or lower the chassis depending
on different track terrains. To raise or lower the suspension
place your thumb and forefinger on the grooved ring found at
the top of each coil spring attached to all four wheels. To lower
the suspension turn the disc clockwise. To raise the suspension
turn the disc counterclockwise.

X. QUICK TIPS

1. The best jumps are the ones where the rear wheels hit the
ground first. It’s important to give your FlashFire™ vehicle just
enough power as it leaves the ramp. Too much power and your
front end will rise abruptly, too little and you’ll land on the front
wheels. When you do land, make sure all four wheels are on the
ground before you accelerate. If you don’t you may cause a
wheelie, which may look really cool, but you’ll lose time.

2. The FlashFire™ was meant to fly high and land soft but just
because you can doesn’t mean you should – especially if you’re
in a race. Remember, the more time your FlashFire™ spends in the
air, the less time you’ll have to accelerate. So stay low to win big!

3. It’s best to steer clear of potentially damaging terrains like dry
river beds where large rocks are often found, water and ponds
that can destroy inner circuitry, tall grasslands where reeds can
entangle your vehicle and gravel and sand that can put a lot of
stress on a motor (think spinning tires with zero movement).

4. Build a cross-country racetrack using natural ditches and mod­erately rocky terrain. Add your own obstacles, like logs, rocks
and barrier flags! Winners are usually determined by a who fin­ishes first system or a points/ penalty system. Examples of
penalties may be leaving the track or forcing someone else off it.
Other examples would be having to unflip your flipped-over car.
You could give away points for perfect landings or tough terrain
negotiation without bumping into a single obstacle. The bottom
line is, you can make up your own rules and have a blast doing it!

5. When your vehicle starts to lose power, it may lose functions
or performance. It's time for a recharge. For best stunt per­formance, always start with a fully-charged battery.

6. Your vehicle's running time may change depending on your
driving style.

7. Radio interference can effect your vehicle’s performance.
Interference can be caused by other R/C vehicles running on
frequency, electrical wires, large buildings, CB radios or
other wireless gear. Try to stay away from these!

8. Point your transmitter antenna up - not down toward your
vehicle. If your vehicle gets too far away, it won't work properly.

9. Don’t drive your vehicle in sand or through water or snow.
If your vehicle does get wet, wipe it with a towel and allow it
to dry completely.

10. Don’t store your vehicle near heat or in direct sunlight.
Always turn switches OFF and remove all batteries for storage.

11. Should you lose either your lug wrench or wheel nut they can be
easily replaced with a 0.28”(7mm) socket wrench or 0.28”(7mm) nut.
