INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the DuraTrax Evader ST. This
manual contains the instructions you need to build, operate
and maintain your new electric R/C stadium truck. Read
over this manual thoroughly before building or operating the
Evader ST.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When the safety precautions are followed, the Evader ST
will provide years of enjoyment. Use care and good sense at
all times when operating this radio controlled stadium truck.
Failure to use this vehicle in a safe, sensible manner can
result in injury or damage to property. You and you alone
must insure that the instructions are carefully followed and
all safety precautions are obeyed.
• Do not operate the Evader ST near people. Spectators
should be behind the driver or at a safe distance away
from the vehicle.
• Make sure to read the instructions with the battery and
charger before charging.
• Do not leave the charger unattended during charging. If
the battery or charger become hot at any time disconnect
the battery from the charger immediately! Failure to do
so may cause permanent damage to the charger and
battery, and may cause bodily harm.
• Do not cover the air intake holes on the charger during
charging, this may cause the charger to overheat.
• Do not allow the electronic speed control (ESC) or radio
equipment to come into contact with moisture. Water can
cause the electronics to short out and can cause
permanent damage.
• Always turn on the transmitter before turning on the
electronic speed control.
• Before turning on your radio check to make sure that no
one else is running on the same frequency as your
Evader ST.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Avoid working over a deep pile carpet. If you drop a small
part or screw, it will be difficult to find.
• Place a mat or towel over your work surface.This will prevent
parts from rolling off and will protect the work surface.
• Avoid running the truck in cold weather. The plastic and
metal parts can become brittle at low temperatures. In
addition, grease and oil become thick, causing
premature wear and poor performance.
• Test fit all parts before attaching them permanently.
