To avoid operating errors, it is essential that you read the instructions
before use!
This model is not a toy!
• This radio controlled model is not a toy. Learning how to control it
correctly is a gradual process.
• Children under 14 years of age should be supervised by an adult.
Driving a radio controlled model is a fascinating hobby. However, it
has to be practised with the necessary caution and respect. A radio
controlled model can cause damage and injury and the user is liable
for any such incident. If driven erratically, a fairly heavy remote-
controlled model which is capable of reaching a high speed can cause
substantial damage and injury for which you as the operator are
responsible.
Pay attention to the charge level indicator lamps
of your transmitter.
• Batteries for transmitter and receiver are well charged and of the
correct voltage.
• Always check the range of radio operation before starting the car.
• Make sure that all servos respond correctly to the signals of the
transmitter.
• All operable parts are in good condition and you have tested their
operation.
• You have made sure that all screws are tightened.
• Always switch on the transmitter first to avoid any uncontrolled
reaction of the receiver to a foreign radio impulse.
• To end the operation switch off the receiver first, then the
transmitter.
• Keep your car away from high voltage cables or radio masts. Never
use the model during lightning!
• Atmospheric disturbances can affect the signals of your remote
controlling transmitter.
• The electrical connection of the model is not waterproof. Therefore
do not drive while it's raining, snowing, or in puddles or wet grass.
• Always avoid running radio control models in restricted, confined
or populated areas.
• Keep away from roads, highways, people and animals!

Model cars may only be operated with a car body that is properly
attached.
To prevent the model being operated with faulty control equipment
resulting in loss of control, the batteries in the transmitter and battery
pack must be tested to ensure the correct state of charge.
Before and after every use, checks must be carried out to ensure that
the model car is correctly assembled. Nuts and bolts should be
tightened as necessary.
Make sure that you have sufficient insurance cover when practising
your hobby. Only a well maintained model will function in a correct
manner. Only use approved spare parts and never improvise with any
unsuitable items.
Never improvise using unsuitable parts and tools. If necessary only
use original spare parts. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the
model is functioning correctly and that all nuts, bolts and screws are
properly tightened.
• Do not drive, if you are overtired or your reactions are impaired in
any way.
• Watch your model constantly and do not become distracted.
• The body shell should be correctly attached to the vehicle before
driving.
• Regular maintenance and servicing are required to ensure top
performance.
• Allow cooling time for the engine components, some parts, e.g. the
motor, become extremely hot during operation and could cause
serious injury.
Pay attention to the charge indications on your
transmitter.
• When the batteries are running low you might loose control of your
model.
• Never load batteries which are not rechargeable.
If you do not use the model for a longer time you must remove the
batteries.
