Corvette C5-R
60-4360
Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack
Corvette C5-R. It's spring suspension lets it
handle the road in style. Built to 1 / scale, it will
12
dazzle your friends as it reaches speeds up to
1,000 feet per minute. Your vehicle is available
in two frequencies (27 and 49 MHz) so you can
race other radio-controlled vehicles.
Step One
Installing Batteries
To power and operate your vehicle, you will need:
Six AA alkaline or one 9.6V rechargeable battery pack (AA batteries, battery
•
pack and charger not supplied, available at your local RadioShack store).
One 9V battery (not supplied).
•
In the Adapter Pack
If you are using alkaline batteries to power your vehicle, you will first need to
insert them into the supplied adapter pack.
1. Loosen the two screws, and then remove the adapter pack's cover.
2. Place the batteries in the adapter pack according to the polarity
symbols ( + / – ) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover, and secure the two screws.
In the Vehicle
1. Turn the vehicle off.
2. Remove the battery compartment's cover.
3. Place the rechargeable battery pack or adapter pack in the
compartment. Situate the pack's wires in the slot on the side of the
compartment, so the wiring does not rest on the battery pack.
4. Attach the pack's white plastic connector to the vehicle's matching
connector. Do not force the connection. It fits only one way.
5. Replace the cover and secure the latches.
Before you can use the rechargeable battery pack, it will need to be
charged.
Recharge the battery pack or replace the AA batteries if the vehicle does
not run, runs slowly, or does not respond to the transmitter.
In the Transmitter
1. Turn the transmitter off.
2. Remove the battery compartment's cover.
3. Insert the 9V battery according to the polarity symbols (
inside.
4. Replace the cover and snap it shut.
Replace the battery when the transmitter's range decreases.

Battery Notes
• Using alkaline batteries slightly decreases
the vehicle's speed.
• 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 weeks, remove the batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that can
damage electronic parts.
• Do not charge or recharge the battery pack
while it is in the vehicle.

Helpful Hints

• If your vehicle gets stuck under an object, immediately release the
transmitter levers and retrieve the car.
• Running your vehicle continuously for long periods of time generates
high heat levels. Heat causes wear and tear on the motor. To help
keep heat levels down, when your vehicle's battery pack runs down,
let the vehicle cool at least 10 minutes before installing a new or newly
charged battery pack.
• If someone uses a CB radio nearby, it might interfere with control of
the vehicle. If this happens, move the car away from the area where
the CB is being operated.
• You cannot operate your vehicle near devices with transmitters that
use the same frequency as your's (27 MHz or 49 MHz). Check this
product's box to see which frequency your vehicle uses.
• If the vehicle moves slowly, and you just installed a fresh battery pack,
check the wheel mechanisms for lint, threads, hair, or dust.
Important
The EPA certified RBRC ® Battery Recycling Seal on the
nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery indicates RadioShack is
voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and
recycle these batteries at the end of their useful life, when
taken out of service in the United States or Canada. The RBRC program
provides a convenient alternative to placing used Ni-Cd batteries into the
trash or the municipal waste stream, which may be illegal in your area.
Please call 1-800-THE-SHACK (1-800-843-7422) for information on Ni-Cd
battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your area. RadioShack's
involvement in this program is part of the company's commitment to
preserving our environment and conserving our natural resources.
• If you use alkaline batteries to power the vehicle, they will
get very hot. To avoid getting burned, wait a few minutes
before attempting to remove the batteries.
• Do not charge alkaline batteries. They will overheat, and
explode.
