c) Driving the vehicle
•
Improper use can cause serious personal injury and damage to property! Only use the vehicle when it is
within your sight. Do not use the vehicle at night.
•
Only use the vehicle when you are fully alert and able to respond. As is the case when driving a real
vehicle, fatigue, alcohol or medications can affect your ability to respond.
•
This model vehicle must not be used on public roads, spaces or paths. Do not use the vehicle on private
land without the landowner's permission.
•
Do not drive towards people or animals!
•
Avoid driving in very low outdoor temperatures. Plastic parts lose their elasticity in cold temperatures.
This can result in serious damage even after a minor accident.
• Do not use the vehicle during thunderstorms, under high-voltage power lines or next to radio masts.
•
Always leave the remote control turned on when the vehicle is in use.
• To stop the vehicle, always turn off the speed controller of the vehicle first, then completely disconnect
the two drive rechargeable batteries from the speed controller. Then switch off the remote control.
•
If the batteries (or rechargeable batteries) in the transmitter are weak, the transmission range decreases.
Exchange the batteries or rechargeable batteries for new ones.
If the drive rechargeable batteries in the vehicle are weak, the vehicle will become slower or will no
longer respond correctly to the transmitter.
The drive rechargeable batteries in the vehicle not only serve to supply the motor via the speed
controller, but the latter also generates the necessary voltage/power for the operation of the receiver
and the steering servo.
This voltage is generated via an integrated BEC ("battery eliminator circuit", an electronic circuit that
supplies voltage directly to the receiver without an additional receiver rechargeable battery).
If the voltage of the drive rechargeable batteries is too low, the voltage of the receiver may also drop,
which means that the vehicle will no longer respond to the transmitter’s control commands.
In this case, stop operating the vehicle immediately (turn off the speed controller, disconnect the
drive rechargeable batteries from the vehicle, and switch off the transmitter). Then replace the drive
rechargeable batteries of the vehicle or recharge the drive rechargeable batteries.
•
Both the motor and the drive and the speed controller and the drive rechargeable batteries of the vehicle
become hot during operation. Take a break of at least 5–10 minutes before changing the rechargeable
battery.
Before charging the drive rechargeable batteries, allow them to cool down completely.
Do not touch the motor, speed controller or rechargeable batteries until they have cooled down. Risk
of burn.
•
Always make sure that the low voltage detection is enabled when operating the vehicle with LiPo drive
rechargeable batteries (we recommend 3.0 V per cell or higher).
Whenlow voltage detection is disabled, LiPo rechargeable batteries are subject to a deep discharge that
destroys them. This will void the warranty!
