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.

R/C & BUILDING TIPS
• Make sure all fasteners are properly tightened. Check them periodically.
• Make sure that chassis screws do not protrude from the chassis.
• For the best performance, it is very important that great care is taken to ensure the
free movement of all parts.
• Clean all ball-bearings so they move very easily and freely.
• Tap or pre-thread the plastic parts when threading screws.
• Self-tapping screws cut threads into the parts when being tightened. Do not use
excessive force when tightening the self-tapping screws because you may strip out
the thread in the plastic. We recommended you stop tightening a screw when you
feel some resistance.
• Ask your local hobby shop for any advice.

IMPORTANT NOTES – NITRO FUEL
• Handle fuel only outdoors. Never handle nitro fuel indoors, or mix nitro fuel in a
place where ventilation is bad.
• Only use nitro fuel for R/C models. Do not use gasoline or kerosene in R/C models
as it may cause a fi re or explosion, and ruin your engine.
• Nitro fuel is highly infl ammable, explosive, and poisonous. Never use fuel indoors
or in places with open fi res and sources of heat.
• Always keep the fuel container cap tightly shut.
• Always read the warning label on the fuel container for safety information.
• Nitro-powered model engines emit poisonous vapors and gasses. These vapors irritate
eyes and can be highly dangerous to your health. We recommend wearing rubber or vinyl
gloves to avoid direct contact with nitro fuel.
• Nitro fuel for RC model cars is made of the combination of the methyl alcohol,
castor or synthetic oil, nitro methane etc. The fl ammability and volatility of these
elements is very high, so be very careful during handling and storage of nitro fuel.
• Keep nitro fuel away from open fl ame, sources of heat, direct sunlight, high
temperatures, or near batteries.
• Store fuel in a cool, dry, dark, well-ventilated place, away from heating devices,
open fl ames, direct sunlight, or batteries. Keep nitro fuel away from children.
• Do not leave the fuel in the carburetor or fuel tank when the model is not in use.
There is danger that the fuel may leak out.
• Wipe up any spilled fuel with a cloth
• Be aware of spilled or leaking fuel. Fuel leaks can cause fi res or explosions.
• Do not dispose of fuel or empty fuel containers in a fi re. There is danger of
explosion.
