    • A. Hitec recommends using Hitec AM receivers only.

    • A. Yes, you can use individual AA nicad cells or the Hitec part #58306 nicad pack along with the CG-25 overnight wall charger.
  • Q. The light on my transmitter will not come on and nothing is happening.
    • A. Check the battery tray and make sure the batteries are touching the contacts. Sometimes you have to push the batteries to make sure they contact. In extreme cases try wrapping the battery holder with electrical tape to help "seat" the batteries within the holder.
