SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING!
RISK OF FIRE, INJURY, OR DEATH
This product is not a toy. This product is Skill Level 6 (see Owner's
manual) and is not intended for use by children or minors under
the age of 14. Individuals under the age of 18 require responsible
adult supervision during operation and maintenance. The XRT™
is capable of extreme performance and high speeds, and it is only
intended to be owned and operated by experienced users with
advanced skills and expert driving ability. Responsibility, maturity,
and common sense are required. This model must be treated with
absolute respect and caution to ensure the safety of yourself and
others around you. Operating the XRT in a careless, unsafe manner,
without adequate care and preparation, can result in collisions with
catastrophic consequences, such as serious injury or death. Know
your limits. Be honest with yourself about your true ability, and be
certain you have a location where you can safely run the model.
The XRT requires the use of LiPo batteries. LiPo batteries have
a severe risk of fire and injury if they are improperly handled,
abused, or misused. User must read and understand all included
instructions, warnings, and precautions regarding the handling,
care, and use of LiPo batteries. A LiPo balance charger is required
to charge LiPo batteries. Traxxas Power Cell iD® batteries with
a Traxxas iD battery balance charger (such as the Traxxas EZ-
Peak® Live™ Dual, part #2973, sold separately) are strongly
recommended for maximum performance and safer charging.
Consult Traxxas or your hobby dealer if you do not know what a
LiPo balance charger is. NEVER USE A NiMH OR NiCAD CHARGER
TO CHARGE LIPO BATTERIES AS THIS CAN CAUSE FIRE RESULTING
IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
