Only a well maintained model will 
function in a correct manner. 

Only use approved spare parts and never fit any unsuitable items.

It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the model is functioning 
correctly and that all nuts, bolts and screws are properly tightened.

Never start driving before you have made sure 
the following points:

•  Batteries for transmitter and receiver are well charged and of the 

correct voltage.

•  Always check the 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.

•  There is no other RC or similar transmitter nearby which could 

cause interference.

Any further radio signal on the same frequency can cause the loss 
of control for your model.

Always switch on the transmitter first to avoid 
any uncontrolled reaction of the receiver to a 
foreign radio impulse.

•  Make sure that nobody in your environment controls a model with 

the same frequency (number on the crystal) and that there is no 
discernable interference.

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 when lightning is present!

•  Atmospheric disturbances can affect the signals of your remote 

controlling transmitter.

•  Do not use the model in wet areas. The electrical connection of 

the model is not waterproof. Therefore do not drive while raining, 
snowing, in puddles or wet grass.

•  Run your model in a suitable area, always avoid running radio 

controlled models in restricted, confined or populated areas.

•  Keep away from roads, highways, people and animals! 

•  Do not drive, if you are overtired or your reactivity is impaired in 

another way.

•  Watch your model constantly and do not become distracted.

•  The body shell should be correctly attached to the vehicle before 

driving.

•  Allow cooling time for the engine components before removing 

the body shell. These parts become extremely hot during opera-
tion and could cause serious injury.

•  Pay attention to charge announcement of your transmitter.

•  Ensure that the batteries for the radio and receiver are fully 
 

charged and of the correct voltage. When the batteries are 

running low you might loose control of your model.

•  Never use fully loaded batteries and batteries which have already 

run low, or batteries of a different capacity at the same time.

•  Never charge batteries which are not rechargeable.

If not using the model for a longer time, the 
rechargeable battery for driving has to be 
removed absolutely.

Radio controlled models are not toys, operating 
them has to be learned step by step.

•  Children less than 14 years of age should drive the model only 

together with a supervising adult.

Driving a radio controlled car is a fascinating hobby which has to be 
practised with the necessary caution and respect.

A radio controlled model car can cause damage and injuries in case of 
uncontrolled driving conditions and the user is liable for this.

•  Make sure that you have sufficient insurance coverage in practising 

your hobby.
