TROUBLESHOOTING - PROBLEM? - SOLUTIONS
Battery Performance Note:
For best performance use regular or high-performance alka-
line batteries (where disposable batteries are called for). If
your vehicle is supplied with standard (carbon-zinc) batteries
for initial use and/or demonstration purposes, we recom-
mend replacing them with alkaline batteries when necessary.
Battery life may vary depending on battery brand.

1. When your vehicle starts to lose power, it may lose
functions or performance. It's time for fresh batteries
(or a recharge). Your vehicle's running time may
change depending on your driving style.
2. Radio interference can effect your vehicle’s
performance. Interference can be caused by other R/C
vehicles running on the same frequency, electrical wires,
large buildings or CB radios. Try to stay away from these!
3. Point your transmitter antenna up - not down toward
your vehicle. If your vehicle gets too far away, it
won't work properly. If your transmitter has an
antenna carry-loop feature, make sure the antenna
is removed from the holder and straightened before
operating.
4. Don’t drive your vehicle in sand or through water or
snow.
5. Don’t store your vehicle near heat or in direct
sunlight. Always turn switches OFF and remove all
batteries for storage.
