;IV. QUICK TIPS
1. The best jumps are the ones where the rear wheels hit
the ground first. It’s important to give your 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. W hen 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 vehicle was meant to fly high and land soft but just
because you can doesn’t mean you should – especially 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.
