BATTERY INSTALLATION (and removal)
Battery must be charged for 4 hours.
VEHICLE
1. Turn vehicle over, with the rear wing facing toward you. Fold the FlexPak battery pack into an
1
“L” shape, as shown. Make sure the label marked “1” in the upper left-hand corner is facing
up, as shown, with the metal battery contacts as shown.
2. Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment so that the lower portion of the battery
pack (with the label marked “2” in the upper left-hand corner) fits into the deep “well” por-
tion of the battery compartment, as shown. Make sure the top portion of the battery pack
(with the label marked “1” in the upper left-hand corner) is lying flat in the shallow portion of
the battery compartment. You may need to snap it into place.
Rear Wing
3. Rotate the battery compartment latch. The latch will force the battery pack to slide
toward the front of the vehicle until it locks into place.
4. To remove the battery pack, rotate the battery compartment latch to release the battery pack.
Insert your finger into the slot at the front of the battery compartment (next to the on off
switch). Slide the battery pack back toward the rear of the battery compartment.
5. Grasp the battery pack by its center “hinge” portion, reaching in from the sides at the two side
slots. Lift the battery pack completely out of the battery compartment.
Estimated run time for this vehicle: 25 minutes
25min.
Transmitter
6. Install one 9-volt battery with polarity (+/-) as shown inside battery compartment.
OPEN
7. The 9-volt transmitter battery will last much longer than the run time of the
TMH FlexPak rechargeable battery pack.

Safety
Precautions
Quick Reference
Adults, this toy is recom-
mended for children 5 years
of age and older. To ensure
that the child’s play is both
safe and fun, please review the
operating instructions and
these general safety rules with
the child.
This section is only a quick reference
guide. Please read this entire manual
thoroughly before operating your vehicle.

a full 4-hour charge and then install
in vehicle.

Radio interference is caused by the
2. Turn vehicle switch “ON.” Press either
joystick and you will be able to run
and control your vehicle.
3. After approximately 25 minutes of
running, your vehicle will lose most of
its power at once. The TMH FlexPak
battery pack is near total power loss
presence of another radio controlled
vehicle operating on the same frequency
as your vehicle. Obviously, multiple
vehicles should NOT BE OPERATED
ON THE SAME FREQUENCY at
the same time.

Radio interference can be caused by
the operation of your vehicle near HIGH
VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL WIRES,
LARGE STEEL REINFORCED CON-
CRETE BUILDINGS AND PASSING
TRUCKS WITH CB RADIOS. Avoid
these if possible.
Caution
I DO NOT pick up
vehicle while in motion.

Tips & Hints
1. The radio circuitry in your vehicle
and transmitter is sensitive. Do not
store vehicle or transmitter near heat
or in direct sunlight. After each use,
remove any water or moisture from
vehicle using a clean dry cloth. Avoid
operating in snow.
2. Turn vehicle switch to the “OFF”
position and remove battery pack
when not in use.
3. When your vehicle runs erratically,
the problem is usually the result of
interference caused by high tension
wires, CB radios, or other R/C vehicles
running nearby on the same frequency
as yours. You may have to choose an
alternative place to race.
I If this toy is being
operated in the presence
of children under 5 years
of age, adult supervision is
recommended.
I To avoid accidental
operation, remove battery
pack when not in use.
5 .
For best results, hold anten-
na up, not pointed down toward
R/C vehicle. If you drive your
vehicle TOO FAR AWAY
FROM THE TRANSMITTER,
your signal strength will become
weak and vehicle will not func-
tion properly. The maximum
range for the vehicle should be
between 30'/10m to 65'/20m,
when operating outdoors.
I Do not operate your vehi-
cle in sand.
