IMPORTANT NOTES –GENERAL
• This product is not suitable for children under 16 years of age without the direct supervision of a responsible and knowledgeable
adult.
• Carefully read all manufacturers warnings and cautions for any parts used in the construction and use of your model.
• Assemble this kit only in places away from the reach of very small children.
• First-time builders and users should seek advice from people who have building experience in order to assemble the model correctly
and to allow the model to reach its performance potential.
• Exercise care when using tools and sharp instruments.
• Take care when building, as some parts may have sharp edges.
• Keep small parts out of reach of small children. Children must not be allowed to put any parts in their mouth, or pull vinyl bag over
their head.
• Read and follow instructions supplied with paints and/or cement, if used (not included in kit).
• Immediately after using your model, do NOT touch equipment on the model such as the motor and speed controller, because they
generate high temperatures. You may seriously burn yourself seriously touching them.
• Follow the operating instructions for the radio equipment at all times.
• Do not put fingers or any objects inside rotating and moving parts, as this may cause damage or serious injury as your finger, hair,
clothes, etc. may get caught.
• Be sure that your operating frequency is clear before turning on or running your model, and never share the same frequency with
somebody else at the same time. Ensure that others are aware of the operating frequency you are using and when you are using it.
• Use a transmitter designed for ground use with RC cars. Make sure that no one else is using the same frequency as yours in your
operating area. Using the same frequency at the same time, whether it is driving, flying or sailing, can cause loss of control of the RC
model, resulting in a serious accident.
• Always turn on your transmitter before you turn on the receiver in the car. Always turn off the receiver before turning your
transmitter off.
• Keep the wheels of the model off the ground when checking the operation of the radio equipment.

collision.
• Remove any sand, mud, dirt, grass or water before putting your model away.
• If the model behaves strangely, immediately stop the model, check and clear the problem.
• To prevent any serious personal injury and/or damage to property, be responsible when operating all remote controlled models.
• The model car is not intended for use on public places and roads or areas where its operation can conflict with or disrupt pedestrian
or vehicular traffic.
• Because the model car is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio interference from many sources that are beyond your control.
Since radio interference can cause momentary loss of control, always allow a safety margin in all directions around the model in order
to prevent collisions.
• Do not use your model:
- Near real cars, animals, or people that are unaware that an RC car is being driven.
