II. VEHICLE OPERATION
* If your vehicle doesn’t move when you use the trans-
mitter there’s a good chance your vehicle’s battery is
ready for a recharge.
III. MULTI-CHANNEL FEATURE
• Your vehicle features the advanced Multi-channel
system. This system lets you race your vehicle head-to-
head – against up to two of your friends with the same
vehicle (up to 6 drivers total with vehicles of the same
assortment) – without any radio interference from your
friends’ transmitters or vehicles. You must be racing
against another Multi-channel-equipped vehicle for this
feature to work.
• There’s one Multi-channel selector switch on your
vehicle chassis, and another one on your transmitter.
The vehicle switch has 3 positions: one for each Multi-
channel setting.
The transmitter switch has 3 positions: one for each Multi-
channel setting, plus an OFF position.
• For successful operation, the vehicle switch and the
transmitter switch must be set to the same Multi-channel
setting. When you’re driving by yourself, you can set the
switches to any of the 3 Multi-channel settings (as long
as they match).
• When you want to race head-to-head, just make sure
that each driver (up to 6 drivers total) has a vehicle and
transmitter set to a different Multi-channel setting.
* To operate your vehicle, just turn the vehicle ON; then
set the transmitter switch to the desired Multi-chan-
nel setting. Push any transmitter control and you will
be able to run and control your vehicle.
*You must be racing against another Multi-channel-
equipped vehicle for this feature to work. A non-
Multi-channel vehicle, running on the same frequency
as your vehicle, may interfere with operation of your
vehicle. If you are racing against a non-Multi-channel
vehicle, make sure that vehicle operates on a fre-
quency different from yours.
* If you need to change the Multi-channel setting,
first make sure that your vehicle is turned OFF.
Change the Multi-channel switch position as desired
on both the transmitter AND the vehicle. Then turn
your vehicle back ON for more racing action.
NOTE: Make certain you’re not pressing a transmitter
control while changing selector switch position.

IV. BATTERY INSTALLATION
Note: Your vehicle can be used with a Tyco® R/C 9.6V NiCd
battery pack or 6 AA alkaline batteries.
Requires a Tyco® R/C 9.6V NiCd battery pack or 6 AA
alkaline batteries for vehicle and 2 AA alkaline batteries
for transmitter.
*Though your Fury FTXTM can run on both 9.6V or
6 x AA batteries it will run up to 30% faster when
using a 9.6V rechargeable battery.
Vehicle
9.6V NiCd battery pack
1. Use a screwdriver (not included) to unscrew the battery
cover.
2. Unscrew and remove the AA battery adapter. Store in a
safe place for later usage.
3. Insert the 9.6V NiCd battery pack (not included), with
polarity (+/-) as shown inside the battery
compartment .
4. Plug the wire connector into the battery compartment
as shown.
5. Replace the battery cover.
6 AA alkaline batteries
1. Use a screwdriver (not included) to unscrew the battery
cover.
2. Make sure the AA battery adapter is firmly in place. If
it’s not, position the adapter in the box and fasten it with
the screw.
3. Insert the 6 AA batteries (not included), with polarity
(+/-) as shown inside the battery compartment .
4. Replace the battery cover.
Transmitter
1. Remove the battery cover as shown.
2. Install 2 AA batteries (not included), with polarity (+/-) as
shown inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover.
* If the transmitter’s LED indicator does not light when
the transmitter is switched ON, it’s time to replace the
transmitter batteries. Simply install fresh batteries as
described above.
; V. QUICK TIPS
1. The best jumps are the ones where the rear wheels hit
the ground first. It’s important to give your Fury FTXTM
vehicle just enough power as it leaves the ramp. Too
much power and your nose will rise abruptly, too little
and you’ll land on the front wheels. When you do land,
make sure all four wheels are on the ground before you
accelerate. If you don’t you may cause a wheelie, which
may look really cool, but you’ll lose time.
2. The Fury FTXTM was meant to fly high and land soft but
just because you can doesn’t mean you should – espe-
cially if you’re in a race. Remember, the more time your
vehicle spends in the air, the less time you’ll have to
accelerate. So stay low to win big!
3. Radio interference can affect your vehicle’s perfor-
mance. Interference can be caused by other R/C vehicles
running on the same frequency, electrical wires, large
buildings, CB radios or other wireless gear. Try to stay
away from these!
4. Point your transmitter antenna up - not down toward
your vehicle. If your vehicle gets too far away, it won’t
work properly.
5. Don’t drive your vehicle through water or snow. If your
vehicle does get wet, wipe it with a towel and allow it to
dry completely.
6. Don’t store your vehicle near heat or in direct sunlight.
Always turn switches OFF and remove all batteries for
storage.
