Make sure you read this safety information and the instructions before using your model.
Follow exactly the recommended procedures and settings given in the instructions.
If you are operating a radio-controlled model car for the first time, we recommend that you
enlist the help of an experienced modeler to guide you. There are also special clubs or
modeling associations that offer training services and assistance.
Safety Information
Radio-controlled models are not toys in the usual sense, and young people under 14 years of
age should not operate them unless supervised by an experienced adult. You are allowed to
operate them for sports and recreational purposes, but sometimes authorization from the local
council may be required to use a model in certain locations.
The building and operating of models requires technical expertise, manual skill, a careful
attitude and use of safety-conscious behavior. Errors, negligence and omissions in building
these models can result in serious personal injury or damage to property. Changes to the
construction and deviating from the operating manual will invalidate any warranty or liability
claims.
Since the manufacturers and vendors of the equipment have no means of checking that your
models are built and operated correctly, we explicitly bring your attention to these risks and
deny all further liability.
A properly constructed model may still be dangerous if used incorrectly.
Never reach into moving parts as this may cause serious injuries.
Note that motors & controllers can reach high temperatures during
operation. Avoid all contact with such parts.
The tools needed for assembly can also cause injuries. Even metal or plastic parts which
are broken or untrimmed can cause injuries. Adhesives and paints may contain hazardous
substances like solvents etc. Please observe the manufacturer’s information and wear safety
equipment (goggles, gloves etc.) when necessary. Rubber parts (e.g. rubber bands) may
become old and brittle and fail. Such parts have to be checked before use.
Keep well clear of the electric motors and all moving components when the battery is
connected. Mistakes happen and in spite of all safety precautions and there is always a
risk of damage and injury from moving parts. For example, by you may unintentionally move
the throttle stick on the transmitter during setup. Also ensure that other hazards such as pets are
not able to come in contact with moving parts!
Always keep yourself at a safe distance from your model and pay particular attention
while jumping for obstacles.
Observe the instructions of the battery and charger manufacturer.
Use only recommended battery chargers and recharge your battery only for the specified
charging time/level. Excess or incorrect charging methods can lead to the battery exploding.
Pay extra attention to ensure correct polarity.
Protect your equipment from dust, dirt and moisture. Do not expose the device to excessive
heat, cold or vibration. The remote control operation may be performed only within the
specified temperature range, avoid unusually hot/cold days.
Check your equipment regularly for damage and always replace damaged components with
original spare parts.
Important R/C Modelling Safety Notices

Don’t re-use any equipment or devices which have been subject to crash or water damage.
Either return to the Service Department for repair or replace. Hidden problems may occur after
crash or water damage which can lead to problems or total failure later in operation.
Use only recommended components and accessories. On remote control systems no changes
may be made.
Routine Pre-Flight Checks
• Before switching on the receiver, ensure that the throttle control on the transmitter is in the
motor stop position.
• Always switch on the transmitter first and then the receiver.
• Always switch off the receiver first, then the transmitter.
• Before use perform a range test.
• Check if the correct model memory is selected (if appropriate).
• Perform a function test before each use, ensuring to check the direction of travel, movement
and all other functions including mixing functions and default switch positions.
• Ensure all batteries are fully charged.
Operating the Model
• Never operate your car towards spectators and maintain a safe distance at all times.
• Never endanger people or animals!
• Do not operate your model in the vicinity of canals, locks or open waterways.
• Do not operate your model from public roads, busy paths and squares etc.
• Do not operate your models in thunderstorms as they could interfere with
the radio remote control systems.
Aerial Position
Never “point” the transmitter aerial straight at the model when in operation. The signal
generated by the transmitter is at its weakest in an imaginary line extending straight from the
aerial. It is always best for the user to stand in a position where the long side of the aerial
points towards the model.
Insurance
Ground-based models are usually covered by standard personal third-party insurance policies.
Check your insurance policy that you are suitably covered and abide by its guidelines.

regarding methods of assembly/installation, operation, misuse and poor maintenance of the

Study the diagram below to understand the controls on your transmitter.
It is important to always ensure there is a signal to the car at all times. Always turn the
transmitter on before you turn on the car and always turn the car off before you turn off the
transmitter. This way there is always a control signal going to the car.

If you are having troubles with your car then please try the following trouble shooting guide for
help:
Problem Possible Cause Solution
The car does not
operate at all.
The Transmitter or receiver is off. Turn on both the car and
transmitter.
The batteries are not the correct
way around in the transmitter.
Remove and re-insert the
batteries checking polarity.
The batteries are flat. Replace the transmitter batteries
and recharge the car battery.
The car does not do
what I ask and the
control range is short.
You are near large interference. Try the car in a different location.
The batteries are flat. Replace the transmitter batteries
and recharge the car battery.
If you are still having trouble then please contact the staff at the location you purchased the car
for assistance.
Trouble Shooting Guide

Note: Always ensure the transmitter is on when
the car is on. To do this switch on the transmitter
first before use and turn it off last.
The steering is controlled by the steering wheel,
turn it anti-clockwise to turn left and clockwise to
go right when driving forward.
The throttle trigger controls power to the wheel
power. Pull the trigger back to accelerate, release
to coast. You can push the trigger forward to apply
brake. When stationary push the trigger forward
to engage reverse.
The diagrams on the right are a useful guide to
what each control does.
This product is suitable for use on or off road on
surfaces such as tarmac, carpet, concrete, short
grass and compacted dirt. Do not use on sand or
loose gravel as this may be ingested into the motor
and cause damage. Long grass or other extreme
surfaces may cause excessive friction and overheat
the motor so caution is recommended.
Do not drive the car to the point where the battery
is completely flat, this will greatly extend the cars
usable life. When the car drives slowly, stop and
recharge the battery. When the power indicating
LED on the transmitter starts flashing, replace the
batteries immediately as the control range will be
decreased.
Always switch off the car and transmitter after
use to avoid draining the batteries further. After
each use re-charge the battery before storage.
Leaving the battery in an uncharged state will
cause damage, reduce performance and shorten
its usable life.
