SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All of us at Traxxas want you to safely enjoy
your new model. 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
For Expert Drivers
ONLY
precautions are adhered to.
The XO-1 is optimized for use with 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 (such as the Traxxas EZ-Peak Plus, part #2933,
sold separately) is required to charge LiPo batteries. DO NOT
charge LiPo batteries with a NiMH Charger. Read the additional
warnings for LiPo batteries on Page 5 of this manual.
• Because your model is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio
interference from many sources that are beyond your control.
Since radio interference can cause momentary losses of radio
control, always allow a safety margin in all directions around the
model in order to prevent collisions.
• Range test your radio system in the area that you will be running
the model to ensure that you have range that covers the area you
want to drive. After range testing, drive slowly in the area at first
to make sure there is no interference that can cause momentary
lapses of control.
Always use new or freshly charged batteries in your model
to maximize signal power output and range.
• The motors, batteries, and speed control can become hot during
use. Be careful to avoid getting burned.
• Choose the right location to drive. Your model is absolutely
not intended for use on public roads or congested areas
where its operation can conflict with or disrupt pedestrian
or vehicular traffic.
This list of warnings and precautions is not comprehensive. Be sure to read this entire
manual and note other more detailed warnings and precautions contained within.
Only drive the XO-1 on a closed course with safety
barricades and pedestrian access controls. This is to prevent
the possibility of injury or death resulting from collision with
the model by another human being or animal.
• Do not drive the XO-1 by yourself. Bring a friend along to act as
a spotter to alert you if a person or animal is approaching your
driving course.
• Do not operate your model at night, or anytime your line of sight
to the model may be obstructed or impaired in any way.
• Do not drive the model close to you where a mistake or loss
of control could cause the model to collide with you or any
spectator.
• Inspect the area you will be driving in for uneven or broken
pavement and debris of any sort. Debris and poor road surfaces
could cause damage and/or loss of control of the model.
• Always carefully inspect your model for damage or loose
components before running. Do not drive the model if it is
damaged in any way. Tighten any loose hardware. Tighten the
wheel nuts before each running session and periodically check
the tightness of the wheel nuts while you are running.
• Never pick up the model by its tires or wheels. Always keep your
hands safely clear of moving parts whenever the batteries are
plugged in.
• Keep the XO-1 stored with the batteries removed, out of the
reach of children and protected from access by any other
unauthorized driver. Lock the power system whenever the
model is stored to prevent access to its full 100mph capability by
unauthorized drivers.
• Always disconnect the batteries in the model when it is not in
use. Never store the vehicle with batteries in the model, as this
can cause a fire leading to property damage, serious personal
injury, or even death.
• Most importantly, use good common sense at all times.
