8.  Charging Rechargeable Batteries
a) Charging the Drive Batteries for the Vehicle
•  Observe Chapter 7.
•  The model is delivered without any drive batteries. They must be purchased separately. You can chose whether you
want to use low-cost battery packs for beginners or high-quality professional battery packs with a high capacity.
•  The drive batteries are usually delivered uncharged and must be charged. Several complete discharge and charge
cycles are necessary before the drive battery delivers its maximum power. 
•  For rechargeable batteries with NiMH or LiPo technology, recharging partially discharged rechargeable batteries
does not cause any problems. Previous discharge is usually not required.
•  High-quality rechargeable drive batteries not only have a higher capacity, which allows you to drive your model car
much longer, but also deliver a higher output voltage for extreme situations. This gives the motor more power and 
results in better acceleration and higher speed.
•  We recommend purchasing a high-quality charger. Such a charger usually has a quick-charging feature. In a LiPo
charger, observe that there is a balancer installed.
•  Rechargeable batteries heat up during charging/discharging (driving the vehicle). Wait until the rechargeable batte-
ries have reached room temperature before charging them. The same applies after the charging procedure. Do not 
use the rechargeable battery in the vehicle until it has cooled down sufficiently after the charging process.
•  Only use a charger suitable for the battery type used (e.g. LiPo).
•  Remove the two drive batteries from the vehicle before charging them.
b) Charging Rechargeable Batteries in the Transmitter
•  The included transmitter may not have a charging socket; observe the included operating instructions for the trans-
mitter. In this case, remove the inserted batteries and charge them externally.
  If your transmitter has a charging socket, check whether there are actually rechargeable batteries inserted 
in the transmitter before connecting the charger. When charging normal (non-rechargeable) batteries, there 
is a risk of fire and explosion!
•  Rechargeable batteries in the transmitter must not be quick-charged, as this damages the transmitter and excessi-
vely heats the cells inside the transmitter. Observe the maximum permissible charging current as indicated on the 
transmitter or in the operating instructions of the remote control system.
•  We do not recommend to charge batteries directly in the transmitter, it is better to charge them outside the trans-
mitter (using a high-quality charger for individual cells). Here, higher charge currents can be used depending on the 
rechargeable batteries.
•  Only use a charger designed for the respective number of cells in the transmitter and the corresponding recharge-
able battery type.
