Installing Car Batteries
There are two ways to power your vehicle using either 6 AA
batteries or a rechargeable Ni-MH battery (neither included)
Using AA batteries (not included)
1. Make sure the power switch on the chassis is OFF.
2. Unlock the battery cover to open the battery box.
3. Insert 6 AA batteries in the box, matching the polarity symbols (+
and –) marked inside.
4. Replace the battery box cover and secure the latch.
Using a 9.6V Ni-MH battery (not included)
1. Use a Philips screwdriver to detach the front and rear units from the
main control unit.
2. Remove the 6 silver colored screws on the main control unit. Unplug
the white connectors and then carefully remove the AA battery box
from the battery base.
3. Attach the 9.6V battery box on battery base and secure with the 6
screws.
4. Insert the 9.6 Ni-MH battery into the battery box and snap together
the battery’s receptable connector with the battery base’s two-prong
plug. Make sure you fit the wires neatly and connectors securely the
right way. Do not force the connectors as they only fit one way.

5. Reassemble the front and rear unit to battery base according to “Assembling the Car
Chassis on page 6.
Install the Controller Battery
Your controller needs a 9V battery (not included). We recommend 9V alkaline batteries for
best performance. If the LED is off or the range of your car decreases, replace the battery.
1. Make sure the power switch is OFF, then remove the screw on the battery
compartment.
2. Insert a 9V battery in the compartment, matching the
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Snap the cover back in place and replace the screw.
Battery Notes:
• For best performance when driving on rough terrain, use the 9.6V
Ni-MH battery option to power your car.
• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury batteries.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
• If you do not plan to use the vehicle for several days, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
