Safety Notes

a) General
Caution, important note!
Operating the model may cause damage to property and/or individuals. Therefore, make sure that
you are sufficiently insured when using the model, e.g. by taking out private liability insurance. If
you already have private liability insurance, verify whether or not operation of the model is covered
by your insurance before commissioning your model.
• For safety reasons, any unauthorized conversions and/or modifications to the product are not permitted.
• This product is not a toy and not suitable for children under 14 years of age.
• The product must not become damp or wet.
• Do not leave the packaging material lying around carelessly as it can become a dangerous toy for children.
• Should there be any questions that are not answered by operating manual, contact us or another ex-
pert.
The operation and handling of remote controlled model cars must be learned! If you have never driven
such a vehicle before, drive particularly carefully and get used to the reactions of the car to the remote
control commands first. Do be patient!
b) Assembly
• When setting up the vehicle, there is a danger of injury from sharp edges, pointy parts and improper
handling of tools.
• Incorrect assembly may lead to damage to vehicle parts and later to bad driving performance. Therefore,
proceed with care during assembly.
• Only set up the vehicle on a sufficiently large, level, stable area, protect the surface from scratches, e.g. of
a work table with a suitable thick padding.
• Do not apply any force when putting together parts; do not overturn screws! However, observe that the
screws, nuts, etc. are fastened correctly.
• Use suitable, impeccable tools for installation.
• Take your time!
• If you have never assembled such a vehicle before, ask, e.g., a more experienced model builder for help.
Especially in the early days of a "model building career", a little good advice and help from a pro may take
care of many problems easily.
c) Operation
• Every time before you use the product, make sure that no other models are being operated on the same
frequency within the range of a remote control. Control over remote controlled vehicles will be lost! Always
use a different frequency for each model.
• Every time you operate the car you must check and, if necessary, adjust the settings of the trim regulator
for forward/reverse driving as well as those for steering.
Therefore, the vehicle's wheels must not be put on the ground at commissioning (switching on the trans-
mitter and the vehicle); put the vehicle onto a suitable surfaces so that the wheels can turn freely (do not
reach into the drive!).
After that, adjust the trim so that the motor no longer turns when you let go of the throttle (neutral position)
and the steering is straight (the precise settings for driving straight ahead can be made later when driving).
• When putting the device into operation, always turn on the transmitter first. Only then can the battery pack
of the car be connected to the speed controller/transmitter and the model be switched on. Otherwise, the
speed controller/transmitter and therefore the electric model may show unpredictable responses!
• Pull out the telescopic aerial of the transmitter completely (for 27/40 MHz remote control systems). When

using a 2.4 GHz remote control align the aerial vertically (if the transmitter has a foldable aerial).
Never point the tip of the aerial directly at the vehicle. This greatly reduces the range. You receive the best
Version 03/16
range results if the aerials of the transmitter and the receiver are in parallel to each other.
• Improper operation may cause serious injury and property damage! Only drive with the model directly in
view. This is why you shouldn't drive at night.
• Only drive when your ability to react is unrestricted. Tiredness or the influence of alcohol or medication can
cause incorrect responses, just as with real vehicles.
• Please note that this model vehicle must not be driven on public roads and streets. Only operate it on
private sites or in places which are specifically designated for this purpose.
• Don't drive towards animals or people!
• Do not drive in rain, through wet grass, water, mud or snow.
• Avoid driving at very low outdoor temperatures. In the cold, the plastic of the car body and the chassis parts
can loose its elasticity; in this case, small accidents can already lead to damage to the model.
• Do not drive in the case of a thunderstorm, under high-voltage power lines or in the proximity of radio
masts.
• Do not take any risks when operating the product! Your own safety and that of your environment depends
completely on your responsible use of the model.
• As long as the model is in operation you must always leave the transmitter switched on. To turn off the
vehicle, always turn off the vehicle first and separate the battery pack from the speed controller/receiver.
Only then may the transmitter be turned off.
• Before operating the model, check whether the stationary model reacts as expected to the commands of
the remote control.
• The range of the transmitter may decrease when the batteries (or rechargeable batteries) are weak. When
the drive batteries are weak, the vehicle becomes slower or no longer responds correctly to the control
commands at the transmitter.
If this is the case, stop driving immediately. Replace the batteries/rechargeable batteries of the transmitter
with new ones or recharge the rechargeable batteries in the vehicle or in the transmitter.
• The motor and drive as well as speed controller and battery back of the vehicle get hot during operation.
Wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before exchanging the rechargeable battery or charging.
Do not touch the motor, the speed controller or the rechargeable battery until they have cooled down.
Danger of burns!
Battery and Rechargeable Battery Notes
• Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave any batteries/rechargeable batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being
swallowed by children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately!
• Batteries/rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There is
a danger of explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin. Wear suitable
protective gloves when handling them.
• Never recharge normal (non-rechargeable) batteries. There is a risk of fire and explosion! Charge only
rechargeable batteries intended for this; use suitable chargers.
• Never charge rechargeable batteries unattended.
• Always use a charger that matches the rechargeable battery (e.g. LiPo batteries must only be charged with
a charger suitable for LiPo batteries). If this is not observed, there is a danger of fire and explosion!
• Only charge rechargeable batteries on an inflammable support.
• Observe the polarity when inserting batteries or connecting a battery pack (pay attention to plus/+ and
minus/-).
• To avoid damage during damage from leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries, remove the batteries (or
rechargeable batteries) from the transmitter when the device is not used over an extended period of time
(e.g. when stored). Disconnect the drive battery from the speed controller and take it out of the vehicle.
Recharge the rechargeable batteries about every 3 months. Otherwise, so-called deep discharge may
result, rendering the rechargeable batteries useless.
• Always replace the entire set of batteries or rechargeable batteries. Never mix fully charged batteries/
rechargeable batteries with partially discharged ones. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of
the same type and manufacturer.
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries!
• For more information, observe the operating instructions of the charger you are using; also observe the
information of the rechargeable battery manufacturer.
