 IMPORTANT NOTES – GENERAL

•  This  product  is  not  suitable  for  children  under  16  years  of  age  without  the 

direct supervision of a responsible and knowledgeable adult.

•  Carefully read all manufacturers warnings and cautions for any parts used in 

the construction and use of your model.

•  Assemble this kit only in places away from the reach of very small children.

•  First-time  builders  and  users  should  seek  advice  from  people  who  have 

building experience in order to assemble the model correctly and to allow the 

model to reach its performance potential.

•  Exercise care when using tools and sharp instruments.

•  Take care when building, as some parts may have sharp edges.

•  Keep small parts out of reach of small children. Children must not be allowed 

to put any parts in their mouth, or pull vinyl bag over their head.

•  Read and follow instructions supplied with paints and/or cement, if used (not 

included in kit).

•  Immediately  after  using  your  model,  do  NOT  touch  equipment  on  the 

model such as the motor and speed controller, because they generate high 

temperatures. You may seriously burn yourself seriously touching them.

•  Follow the operating instructions for the radio equipment at all times.

•  Do not put fingers or any objects inside rotating and moving parts, as this 

may cause damage or serious injury as your finger, hair, clothes, etc. may get 

caught.

•  Be sure that your operating frequency is clear before turning on or running 

your model, and never share the same frequency with somebody else at the 

same time. Ensure that others are aware of the operating frequency you are 

using and when you are using it.

•  Use a transmitter designed for ground use with RC cars. Make sure that no 

one else is using the same frequency as yours in your operating area. Using 

the same frequency at the same time, whether it is driving, flying or sailing, 

can cause loss of control of the RC model, resulting in a serious accident. 

•  Always  turn  on  your  transmitter  before  you  turn  on  the  receiver  in  the  car. 

Always turn off the receiver before turning your transmitter off.

•  Keep the wheels of the model off the ground when checking the operation of 

the radio equipment.

•  Disconnect the battery pack before storing your model.

•  When learning to operate your model, go to an area that has no obstacles 

that can damage your model if your model suffers a collision.

•  Remove any sand, mud, dirt, grass or water before putting your model away.

•  If the model behaves strangely, immediately stop the model, check and clear 

the problem.

•  To  prevent  any  serious  personal  injury  and/or  damage  to  property,  be 

responsible when operating all remote controlled models.

•  The model car is not intended for use on public places and roads or areas where 

its operation can conflict with or disrupt pedestrian or vehicular traffic.

•  Because the model car is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio interference 

from many sources that are beyond your control. Since radio interference can 

cause momentary loss of control, always allow a safety margin in all directions 

around the model in order to prevent collisions.

•  Do not use your model:

  - Near real cars, animals, or people that are unaware that an RC car is being   

  driven.

  - In places where children and people gather

  - In residential districts and parks

  - In limited indoor spaces

  - In wet conditions

  - In the street

  - In  areas  where  loud  noises  can  disturb  others,  such  as  hospitals  and  

   residential areas.

  - At night or anytime your line of sight to the model may be obstructed or  

   impaired in any way.

To prevent any serious personal injury and/or damage to property, please be

responsible when operating all remote controlled models.

Failure to follow these instructions will be considered as abuse and/or neglect.
