Safety Precautions

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 car is a fascinating hobby. However, it has to 
be practised with the necessary caution and respect. A radio control-
led model car can cause damage and injury and the user is liable for 
any such incident. If driven erratically, a fairly heavy remote-
controlled model car which is capable of reaching a high speed can 

cause substantial damage and injury for which you as the operator are 
responsible.

Make sure that you have sufficient insurance cover when practising 
your hobby. Only a well maintained model will function in a correct 
manner. 

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.

Never drive without first making sure of the 
following points:

•  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.

•   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. 

•  Fully extend the transmitter antenna and 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 during lightning!

•  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 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!

•  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.

•  Regular maintenance and servicing are required to ensure top 

performance.

•  Allow cooling time for the engine components before removing 

the body shell. Some parts (e.g. the motor and the muffler) become 
extremely hot during operation 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 load batteries which are not rechargeable

If you do not use the model for a longer time you must remove the 

 rechargeable 

battery.

Safety precautions and operating guidelines

This radio control model vehicle must only be run on the approved 
model fuel. Always avoid running radio control models in restricted, 
confined or populated areas. Keep away from roads, highways, people 
and animals. Never run the model indoors. 

No goods, people or animals may be transported using a RC model car 
with combustion engine.

Please ensure that you have read all the safety instructions and 
operating procedures before driving the model!

The body shell should be correctly attached to the vehicle before 
driving.

Allow cooling time for the exhaust and engine components before 
removing the body shell. These parts become extremely hot during 
operation and could cause serious injury.

Do not operate the model permanently where noise may cause a 
nuisance to others, because then you may damage your hearing.

To avoid the model running with a faulty control system causing it to 
drive erratically, check that the batteries in the transmitter and receiver 
are properly charged.

Always check that all the nuts, bolts and screws and components are 
not loose. Retighten and adjust as necessary.

Fill the fuel tank and firmly push the tank lid shut. Clean up any fuel 
spillages. Never leave fuel in the fuel tank.
