T

hank you for purchasing the Atomik™ A.R.C. C1 58”RTR Electric Boat. This RTR Electric Boat was designed with 

both beginning RC Boat hobbyists and die hard boat enthusiasts in mind. Racers will love the adjustability and 
tunability of the hull and drive system, enthusiasts will enjoy scale realism, and novice hobbyists will enjoy how 
easy the Atomik™  A.R.C. C1 58” RTR Electric Boat is to drive. We hope you have as much fun with your Atomik™ 
RC Electric Boat as we did creating it. Not only did you purchase a top of the line RC Electric Boat, but you have 
also joined the Atomik™ Team and world class product line and customer service. Every Atomik™ RC Electric Boat 
model boat is hand-made using the latest manufacturing techniques with the highest possible standards. Your 
model is unique and may have blemishes due to the nature of the manufacturing process. This is normal, and 
further adds to your boats originality.

While the Atomik™ C1 58” RTR Electric Boat is incredibly fun, it is not a toy. It is very important that you read and 
follow the steps detailed in this instruction and radio manual. Failure to follow the guidelines detailed in these 
manuals could result in damage to property, permanent damage to your model, or personal injury. It is very 
important to use this product responsibly. Following these maintenance and operating guidelines will ensure years 
of enjoyable use. When operating your model, always keep clear of full-size boats, solid objects, animals and 
people. For best results, operate your Atomik™  A.R.C. C1 58”RTR Electric Boat in calm water, low wind conditions 
and away from swimmers and wildlife. To avoid an out of control model, always perform a range check. Inspect 
your model for damaged props, loose hardware and loose or missing screws before and after every run. If your 
model begins to operate erratically or if you notice a change in its operation, stop using it immediately and do not 
use again until the issue is corrected.
