Now it’s time to practise! Set up a Car-
rera RC vehicle racing track in a large
empty area, using cornerposts, empty
cans, or similar objects. The basic tech-
nique to adopt when operating a Carrera
RC is to drive fast on the straight sec-
tions and to slow down in the curves.
Warning: this vehicle is capable of
reaching high speeds.
Practice on an
empty surface at least 4 metres (13’)
square.
When first starting, be very
careful when operating the gas pedal,
as the car reacts very quickly.
Practice
running slowly for at least two to three
full charges of the battery before you
start practising faster manoeuvres.
•
Never run more than 2 batteries down one after the other. After running down
two fully-charged batteries, a pause in running for at least 20 minutes is
essential.
• Avoid constant motor operation.
•
If the car switches itself off several times one after another, the battery is dead.
Please recharge the battery.
•
To switch off after use, follow the steps in the reverse order.
•
After use, remove or disconnect the battery.
•
Clean the Carrera RC car after use.

Fine steering adjustment
If the vehicle does not run in a straight
line, you can make fine steering adjust-
ments here.
When the controller is switched on,
the red LED lamps at the front of the

When the control LED flashes, the
9-volt battery in the controller must be
replaced.

in the service area.
Problem
Cause
Solution
Car does not move
Either the switch on the controller or the car is set to OFF.
Switch on.
There is no rechargeable battery in the car or the battery is too weak.
Insert charged battery.
The car has come to a stop at an obstacle.
The voltage surge protector has switched the car off.
Turn the ON/OFF switch on the car to OFF, then back to ON, and
place the car on a clear surface.
The battery or rechargeable battery in the transmitter or model is too
weak.
Insert new battery or recharged battery.
Different channel set up for car and controls.
Switch to same channel.
The vehicle is very warm.
Switch both car and controller off and allow the car to cool down for
about 30 minutes.
Car cannot be controlled
Vehicle starts moving unintentionally.
First turn on the transmitter, only then the vehicle.
Transmitter antenna is defective.
Extend the antenna fully.
Another RC model is using the same frequency.
Change the frequency in both vehicle and controller.
