              IMPORTANT NOTES – ELECTRICAL

•  Insulate any exposed electrical wiring (using heat shrink tubing or electrical tape) to prevent dangerous short circuits. 

Take maximum care in wiring, connecting and insulating cables. Make sure cables are always connected securely. Check 
connectors for if they become loose. And if so, reconnect them securely. Never use R/C models with damaged wires. A 
damaged wire is extremely dangerous, and can cause short-circuits resulting in fi re. Please have wires repaired at your 
local hobby shop.

•  Low battery power will result in loss of control. Loss of control can occur due to a weak battery in either the transmitter 

or the receiver. Weak running battery may also result in an out of control car if your car‘s receiver power is supplied by 
the running battery. Stop operation immediately if the car starts to slow down.

•  When not using RC model, always disconnect and remove battery. 
•  Do not disassemble battery or cut battery cables. If the running battery short-circuits, approximately 300W of electricity 

can be discharged, leading to fi re or burns. Never disassemble battery or cut battery cables.

•  Use a recommended charger for the receiver and transmitter batteries and follow the instructions correctly. Over-

charging, incorrect charging, or using inferior chargers can cause the batteries to become dangerously hot. Recharge 
battery when necessary. Continual recharging may damage battery and, in the worst case, could build up heat leading 
to fi re. If battery becomes extremely hot during recharging, please ask your local hobby shop for check and/or repair 
and/or replacement.

•  Regularly check the charger for potential hazards such as damage to the cable, plug, casing or other defects. Ensure 

that any damage is rectifi ed before using the charger again. Modifying the charger may cause short-circuit or 
overcharging leading to a serious accident. Therefore do not modify the charger.

•  Always unplug charger when recharging is fi nished.
•  Do not recharge battery while battery is still warm. After use, battery retains heat. Wait until it cools down before 

charging. 

•  Do not allow any metal part to short circuit the receiver batteries or other electrical/electronic device on the model.
•  Immediately stop running if your RC model gets wet as may cause short circuit. 
•  Please dispose of batteries responsibly. Never put batteries into fi re.
