SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All of us at Traxxas want you to safely enjoy your new Nitro Slash. Operate
your Nitro Slash sensibly and with care, and it will be exciting, safe, and
fun for you and those around you. Failure to operate your Nitro Slash in a
safe and responsible manner may result in property damage and serious
injury. The precautions outlined in this manual should be strictly followed
to help ensure safe operation. You alone must see that the instructions are
followed and the precautions are adhered to.
IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
• Nitro Slash is very fast! The Nitro Slash is intended for experienced
users with a high level of skill. The TRX 3.3 Racing Engine is extremely
powerful and may require skilled driving to maintain control. Children
under 16 years of age and inexperienced drivers should not operate the
Nitro Slash without the supervision of a responsible and knowledgeable
(experienced) adult.

directions and precautions printed on the fuel container. Model engine
fuel is poisonous to humans and animals. Drinking the fuel can cause
blindness and death. Handle with care and respect.
• Model engine fuel, especially when in a fuel dispensing bottle, may look
like a cool drink to a child.
Keep all fuel out of the reach of children at all
times. Do not place fuel containers on the ground where children can
reach them while you are driving.
For Expert Drivers
• Model engine fuel is flammable. Never allow smoking, sparks,
heat, or flame in the presence of fuel or fuel vapors.
• The engine, brakes, and exhaust system may become extremely hot
during use. Be careful not to touch these parts, especially when refueling
or stopping the engine.
• Prolonged exposure to the engine exhaust can be harmful. Avoid
breathing the engine exhaust. Always run your Nitro Slash outdoors,
in a well-ventilated area. Never run the engine indoors.
• Do not operate your Nitro Slash at night, or anytime your line of sight to
the model may be obstructed or impaired in any way.
• Never operate your Nitro Slash in crowds of people or busy pedestrian
areas. Nitro Slash is very fast and could cause injury to those unaware
of its presence. Keep small children at a safe distance away from the
operating area.
• Because Nitro Slash is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio
interference from many sources beyond your control. Since radio
interference can cause momentary loss of control, always allow a safety
margin in all directions around your model to prevent collisions.
• Do not kink the antenna wire. Kinks in the antenna wire will reduce range.
• The engine can be loud. If the noise makes you uncomfortable, wear ear
protection. Be considerate of your neighbors by not running your model
early in the morning or late in the evening.
• Do not cut the antenna "stinger" or any other part of the antenna wire.
Cutting the antenna will reduce range.
• You must extend the antenna wire in the model as far as possible for
maximum range. In doing so, the antenna wire will be extended outside
of the vehicle body. Do not wrap or coil the antenna wire to keep it from
extending out of the body.
• Do not allow the antenna wire to extend outside the body without the
protection of an antenna tube, or the antenna wire may incur crash
damage that could reduce range.
• Most importantly, use good common sense at all times.
BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGING
Your model uses rechargeable batteries that must be handled with care for
safety and long battery life. Make sure to read and follow all instructions and
precautions that were provided with the battery packs and your charger. It

addition to your battery and charger instructions, here are some more tips
to keep in mind.
• Use the supplied chargers to charge the included battery. See "Charging
the EZ-Start Battery" on page 21.
• Never leave batteries to charge unattended.
• Allow the battery pack to cool off before charging.
• Do not use battery packs that have been damaged in any way.
• Do not use battery packs that have damaged wiring, exposed wiring, or a
damaged connector.
• Children should have responsible adult supervision when charging and
handling batteries.
• Only use approved chargers for NiMH battery packs (such as
Part #2921 or the EZ-Peak Plus charger, Part #2933). Do not exceed the
maximum charge rate of 1 amp.
• Do not short-circuit the battery pack. This may cause burns and severe
damage to the battery pack.
• Do not burn or puncture the batteries. Toxic materials could be released. If
eye or skin contact occurs, flush with water.
• Store the battery pack in a dry location, away from heat sources
and direct sunlight.
• Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries must be recycled or disposed of
properly.
