Tyco R/C Racing Batman Brave & Bold Electric Racing... User manual

II. DETAILED TRACK ASSEMBLY
a. Your race set makes two different layouts. Refer to the Assembly Map for detailed
track assembly. Start with the Terminal Track and
continue adding track pieces until your layout is
complete.
b. Once your layout is assembled, you’ll need to
add guardrails. Refer to the Assembly Map for
placement. To attach a guardrail: gently flex the
guardrail before attaching it. Carefully attach the
bottom of the guardrail first. Then pull up and snap
into place. Don’t force guardrails into place.
1. There are letters molded into each
track piece. These letters are used in
these instructions to indicate which
track piece goes where. Following the
layout drawings on the Assembly Map,
you may want to lay out your track –
without connecting any track pieces.
That way you’ll be able to see how the
track layout goes together.
2. To connect track pieces: working on the flat surface, push the ends of the track
pieces together. Make sure they snap together securely – you’ll hear a click when
they’re properly connected.
Remember: if the track connections aren’t right, electric power won’t flow from
one track section to the next.
3. To disconnect track pieces, simply reach
underneath where the track pieces meet
and press the locking tabs together with
thumb and forefinger as shown.
Follow the step-by-step instructions to set up your race set.
Please separate the “Assembly Map” page, and keep it handy during assembly.
This page contains the contents list and large-scale Layout Drawings of the
fully-assembled track. You’ll need to refer to it as you go.
The Assembly Map looks like this:

Assembly Map.
I. BASIC TRACK ASSEMBLY
Start out on a clean, hard, flat racing surface – not carpeting. Take out all
the track pieces (and other parts) and check them carefully against the
contents list on the Assembly Map.
Sometimes brand-new track may need a quick cleaning for best performance.
Check the Maintenance section of this manual for more information.
Look for this symbol throughout this manual. It indicates important
information.
START HERE!
Occasionally the metal track rails will stick up too far from the surface of a track
piece, as shown. This may interfere with vehicle movement. To correct, simply
press the rail back down with your finger. If the problem persists, please contact
Customer Service toll-free at 1-888-557-8926 (see hours of operation in the
Warranty section).
ADULT ASSEMBLY REQUIRED.
CAUTION: This product contains a
sharp edge(s). For adult assembly only.
Take extra care during unpacking and
assembly.

c. Next you’ll need to add the track supports. Refer to the Assembly Map for
placement. Attach them as shown. To assemble a track support, separate the
pieces as shown and snap off the connector tabs (discard the tabs). Next, fit
the two pieces together as shown. Insert the assembled track support into the

CONGRATULATIONS!
You’re ready to race. For “pro” competition, please read the following driving
tips and maintenance hints.
DRIVING TIPS
Here are some “inside” racing tips…for top performance!
1. Always race on a clean, hard, flat surface. For best racing performance,
we don’t recommend carpeting.
2. Clean track is IMPORTANT for best performance! Please refer to the
Maintenance section for detailed instructions for cleaning the track.
3. Races are won in the curves! Slow down going into the curves…
then speed up coming out of them. Accelerate to build up speed for
loops and jumps.
4. Anyone can be a “pro” racer – the secret is practice! Remember to “break
in” your new cars with a few “qualifying” laps. Cars always run better after
they’ve “warmed up.”
5. Experienced racers know that regular maintenance is the key to top racing
performance. Read and follow the easy steps in Section II.
6. If you have questions or difficulty operating your Race Set, check the
Troubleshooting Chart first. Usually a quick “pit stop” will get you racing
again!
USE ALKALINE BATTERIES ONLY.
Battery Performance Note: For best performance use alkaline batteries (where
disposable batteries are called for). Replace batteries when vehicle motion
becomes too slow. If your product is supplied with standard (carbon-zinc)
batteries for initial use and/or demonstration purposes, we recommend replacing
them with alkaline batteries when necessary. Battery life may vary depending on
battery brand.
Always unplug your Battery Pack when not in use!
a. The cables for the Battery Pack and the hand controllers have color-coded
plugs to help you make your connections properly. First, plug the red plug into
the red receptacle on the terminal track. Next, plug the white hand controllers
into the white receptacles on the terminal track.
b. To test track and power connections, hold a car on the track with its metal
contacts touching the metal track rails. Gently hold the front end of the car
down while lifting the vehicle as shown (do not lift the vehicle by its rear
tires). Squeeze the hand controller: the car’s rear tires should spin. If they
don’t, there’s a connection problem. Carefully check the track and power
connections.
c. Your hand controller is your car’s “throttle.”
The more you squeeze the trigger the
faster your car will go. Practice at a slow
speed for a few laps, until you’re ready to
race!
SPECIAL NOTE TO ADULTS:
• Always make sure your Race Set is unplugged before assembling or
disassembling track. Always unplug Battery Pack when not in use.Regularly
examine for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts.
• In the event of any damage, this toy must not be used with the battery box until
the damage has been repaired.
• Do not connect to more than the recommended number of Battery Packs.
• If this toy is being operated in the presence of children under 5 years old, adult
supervision is recommended.
• This toy is not intended for children under 3 years old. The toy must be used only
with the supplied battery pack.
• Disconnect from the battery box before cleaning.
III. BATTERY BOX / HAND CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY
Requires 4 x 1.5V "D" size (LR20) batteries (not included). Install 4 x 1.5V "D"
size (LR20) alkaline batteries (not included) as shown.
MAINTENANCE:
ADULTS NOTE: All “pro” racers know that their vehicles need
maintenance from time to time…for best performance. Follow
these simple steps to keep your car running at its best!

E. CONTACTS
1. CLEANING CONTACTS
Regularly clean your car’s
contacts to remove oxidation. Using a
pencil eraser, as shown, carefully scrub
the contacts. Do not apply too much
pressure, or you may bend contacts.
DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL.
Worn-out contacts can be replaced.
2. CONTACT REPLACEMENT
Your vehicle’s contacts should last a
minimum of 8-10 total hours of racing,
with regular cleaning. You may need
to replace the contacts if they become
overly worn or bent…or if they become
dislodged after an impact.
The best way to replace contacts is
one at a time, using the remaining
contact assembly as a guide. Be careful
not to bend the contacts out of shape
(especially wide slotted end).
a. Hold chassis bottom side up. Hold the
spring as shown (with your thumb on one
side of the chassis and your forefinger
on the other). You’ll need to hold the
spring securely throughout the assembly
process.
b. Hook the narrow end of the contact under
the motor shaft. Hook the curved side tab
of the contact over the spring; the spring
will be held in place by the curved tab.
Place the wide (slotted) end of the contact
into place, with the chassis tab through
the slot. Making sure not to over bend the
contact slot.
c. Still holding the spring securely, turn the
chassis over. You may need to press the
top of the contact into place with the tip
of a pencil. When properly installed, the
contact will spring back when pushed.
F. HEAT SHIELD
1. INSTALLATION
The heat shield is an important
component, and it must be correctly
installed for proper vehicle operation.
Make sure the side tabs of the heat
shield are properly inserted in the
chassis slots, as shown. If the heat
shield is not correctly installed, it may
interfere with vehicle movement.
2. CLEANING
Occasionally dust and debris may build
up under the vehicle’s heat shield,
interfering with operation. To check for
this problem, stop racing and let the
vehicle sit for 5 minutes. Remove the
heat shield and gently blow out any dust.
Reinstall the heat shield as described
above.
Don’t operate any vehicle without a
heat shield. If the heat shield is lost,
or can’t be installed properly, please
contact Customer Service at the toll-
free number shown in this manual.

B. TRACK CLEANING
Clean track is IMPORTANT for best
performance!
1. Dirty track may cause your vehicle to
stall. Usually you can get it going again by
pressing the hand controller trigger about
halfway down while you give the vehicle a
slight push from behind. After 3-4 laps your
vehicle will run properly.
2. Sometimes oxidation may form on the track
rails, and this may cause your car to stall.
If this happens, you’ll have to remove the
oxidation. Using the supplied sandpaper,
GENTLY rub the track rails. Don’t rub hard
– rails are clean when they’re shiny. After
cleaning, wipe the track with a soft, clean,
lint-free cloth to remove any residue (don’t
use tissue or paper towels).
NEVER use steel wool to clean your track:
severe damage can result if a fiber of
steel wool is picked up by the magnets
in your car’s motor. Use only very fine
sandpaper for cleaning.
3. Sometimes debris can accumulate in the
track slots. If this happens, use a
toothpick to clear the debris from the slots.
C. VEHICLE CLEANING
1. CLEANING TIRES
Dirty tires can cause your car to lose traction
and spin. To clean the tires, place a piece of
adhesive tape on a hard, flat surface, with
the sticky side facing up. Roll the rear tires
across the tape until they’re clean.
2. CLEANING AXLE
Lint may collect around your car’s axles:
this may cause the car to run slowly. Use
tweezers or a toothpick to remove lint as
shown.
D. ALIGNMENT
1. AXLE ALIGNMENT
Your car’s axle assembly may become
“dislocated” from the chassis as a result
of a sudden impact. To realign it, snap the
assembly back into the chassis.
DO NOT use any type of tool to snap the
chassis back in place. Use only your
fingers.
2. CHASSIS ALIGNMENT
Occasionally check the position of the car’s
body to make sure it is properly aligned and
not rubbing against the tires. If necessary,
carefully snap chassis back onto the body
tabs, as shown.
