Battery Notes
• Running your vehicle continuouslyfor long periods of timegenerates highheat levels. Heat causes wear and tear on the
motor. Tokeep heat levels down, let the vehicle cool at least 10 minutes before installing a new or newly charged battery
pack.
• If the vehicle's motor runs but itdoes not respond to the transmitter, move closer to thevehicle and tryagain.
• If someone uses a CB nearby, it might interfere with control of the vehicle. If this happens, move the vehicle away from
the CB.
• You cannot operate your vehicle neardevices with transmitters that use the same frequency as your vehicle (27MHz or
49 MHz). Check you vehicle's box to see which frequency your vehicle uses.
• If the vehicle moves slowly andyou just installed a fully charged battery pack, check the wheel mechanisms for lint,
thread, hair, or dust.
• Do not drive the vehicle in puddles, on a wet floor, on sand, in mud, rain, or snow. This can damage the vehicle.
• If the vehicle gets stuck under an object, immediately release the control levers and retrieve the vehicle.

store the vehicle only inroom temperature environments. Handle the
vehiclecarefully; do not drop it. Keep the vehicle away from dust and
