You need to get batteries for the radio transmitter and the car receiver
packs.
• Radio TX needs (8) eight AA batteries
• Car needs (4) four AA batteries.
Recommendation:
You may want to upgrade the car battery pack to a Ni-Cad 5 cell
type(600AE). This will give more run time.
You will need to buy a few items to start the engine and run the car.
• Use 20% nitro CAR fuel. Do not use airplane fuels, they will over
heat engine.
• Buy short glow plugs, like O.S. 8. Or OFNA/PICCO P-7S plug. Use
plugs without idle bar. If a long glow plug is used, like the P-7S and
MC-59, place two copper washers under the plug.
