III. QUICK TIPS
❶When your vehicle starts to
lose power, it may lose func-
tions or performance. It’s time
for fresh batteries. Your vehi-
cle’s running time may change
depending on your driving style.
❷Radio interference can make
your vehicle run badly. Interfer-
ence 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!
❸ Point your transmitter antenna
up - not down toward your
vehicle. If your vehicle gets too
far away, it won’t work proper-
ly. DO NOT EXPOSE THE
TRANSMITTER TO WATER. If
the transmitter is accidentally
exposed to water, remove the
transmitter battery and allow
the transmitter to air-dry.
Replace with a fresh battery
before resuming operation.
❹Your vehicle is designed for
operation in calm, fresh water.
Pools and shallow ponds are
recommended. Do not expose
vehicle to water unless the bat-
tery compartment cover is prop-
erly closed and latched. AVOID
SALT WATER OPERATION.
❺Don’t store your vehicle near
heat or in direct sunlight.
Always turn switches OFF and
remove all batteries for storage.
After each use, remove any
water or moisture from vehicle
using a clean dry cloth.
