Required Equipment - Traxxas BLAST 38104-1 Instrucciones De Operación

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Traxxas Blast high-performance racing boat.
This manual contains the instructions you'll need to operate and maintain
your new Blast. Look over the manual and examine the Blast carefully
before running it. If for some reason you think the Blast is not what you
wanted, then do not continue any further. Your hobby dealer absolutely
cannot accept a Blast for return or exchange after it has been run.
Please read all of the operating instructions and precautions before
attempting to drive your new Blast. These instructions are written with the
assumption that this is your first radio controlled model. Even if you are
an experienced R/C enthusiast, it is important for you to read and follow
the procedures in this manual. Pay special attention to the mechanical
and safety precautions outlined in this manual.
If you have any questions about your new model, then call Traxxas'
technical support line at (1-888-872-9927), U.S. residents only; outside the
U.S., call 972-549-3000. Technical support is available Monday through
Friday, from 8:30am to 9:00pm central time. We hope that you will enjoy
your Blast for many hours to come.

Required Equipment

To operate the Blast, you will need four (4) "AA" size batteries for your
transmitter.
Where to Run
Select a body of water (must be at least 10 inches deep) that is calm and free
of debris, tree stumps, moss, etc. Also, find a clean, stable area of shoreline for
launching. Be aware that some ponds restrict the use of model boats. Always
choose a launch site that is downwind so that the wind and waves will drift the
boat back to you if it should ever flip over. Do not run the Blast in salt water.
Preparing to Run
Charge the battery pack
The Traxxas Battery Charger** is a fully featured NiMH (Nickle Metal Hydride)
charger. It features 4-amp charge current
for fast charging and advanced peak
detection to optimize every charge. Take
this compact charger with you wherever
you want to have radio controlled fun!
Do not charge batteries inside of an
automobile. Read the Safety Precautions
section of this guide.
1. Plug the charger into a 12-volt
automotive auxiliary power socket.
The charger is compatible with 12-volt
automotive auxiliary power sockets only.
The LED on the charger will glow red to
indicate it is ready to charge a battery.
2. Connect the battery to begin
charging. Plug the battery into the
charger. The charger's LED will flash
green, indicating that charging has
begun. The flashing green LED on the
charger indicates the charge progress.
