IV. QUICK TIPS
qWhen your vehicle starts to lose power, it may
lose functions or performance. It’s time for fresh
batteries. Your vehicle’s running time may change
depending on your driving style.
wRadio 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!
ePoint your transmitter up - not down toward your
vehicle. If your vehicle gets too far away, it won’t
work properly.
rDon't drive your vehicle in sand or through water
or snow. If your vehicle does get wet, wipe with a
towel and allow to dry completely overnight.
tDon’t store your vehicle near heat or in direct
sunlight. Always turn switches OFF and remove all
batteries for storage.
