Kraton ok new kraton first run?

[N4SIR]

Ok i tightened the tires and still haven't opened my charger yet. Is there a super lazy take in the backyard for 5 min on xmas day way to do this? can i just connect my new battery (not charged yet) and drive it for like 1 min or should i charge it first then run it? also does the radio need to be bound or is it already?

Balance charge your batteries first. If this is your first, take it easy, and drive in figure eights, helps learn control.

Instruction manual front to back while charging the battery. This will answer most “what to do 1st” questions. Enjoy the Beast of the arrma line up.

The radio should be bound. Just keep it to 50% if you're in the garden and just feather that throttle. You need a football pitch or a big park to stretch its legs really. Ramp it up to 100 when you get the chance its crazy fast! Get a wheelie bar fitted to cos she pops a bit..

Like said above, fully charge your lipo, read the manual, look over the truck for anything that doesn't look right, check for loose hardware/screws, check out drivetrain for any irregularities. Better to have a safe session to LVC than a couple minute thrash.

better late than never ........ make sure your fail safe is set correctly.
