Plug the battery into the charger , the light should turn red indicating charging , when the light turns green its fully charged .

Status: offline 		Hey guys thanks for the heads up on everything to check for when I got my NOW. I got it 2 days ago the motor mounts were tight i did find a couple of screws that were alittle loose. I did loosen the slipper and the spur is holding strong. The c block didnt hold up to well when i ran into the chair leg. Because parts are so rare I CA glued it. its holding so far, gotta make a bumper though. You were right for the size of this truck it's super fast. I need to quit trying to run it in house.

Status: offline 		One other thing. whoever thought you could hook a castle link to this esc, I'd like to know how they did it. In the instructions (yes i got them with the truck) it says use the tx and listen for the beeps. I have a link already and I'd much rather use it.


I was really disappointed this truck didn't come with any tool. ie. lug wrench, allen wrench. The small end of my stampede lug wrench works though

Status: offline 		OH MY GOD, I just charged my NOW for the first time and tried running it in my living room, glitches still, and it just hit a small chair (nothing of a real impact) and the lower suspension arm broke, is this thing made of anything with quality? I guess I should upgrade the entire thing, sad that I spent the money, got the product, and on the first day it broke. I wrote to TRINITY, hopefully they honor the warranty, but IM bummed.

WHAT UPGRADES SHOULD I GET SO AT LEAST I CAN RUN THIS THING!!!

No it wont work. From what I saw the stock is closer to 50 teeth. Put it next to a 50 tooth rc18 spur gear its about identical dimension wise,
