Safety Precautions
This radio control model vehicle must only be run on the approved
model fuel. Always avoid running radio control models in restricted,
confined or populated areas. Keep away from roads, highways, peo-
ple and animals. Never run the model indoors.
No goods, people or animals may be transported using a RC model
car with combustion engine.
Please ensure that you have read all the safety instructions and oper-
ating procedures before driving the model!
The body shell should be correctly attached to the vehicle before
driving.
Allow cooling time for the exhaust and engine components before
removing the body shell. These parts become extremely hot during
operation and could cause serious injury.
Do not operate the model permanently where noise may cause a
nuisance to others, because then you may damage your hearing.
To avoid the model running with a faulty control system causing it
to drive erratically, check that the batteries in the transmitter and
receiver are properly charged.
Always check that all the nuts, bolts and screws and components are
not loose. Retighten and adjust as necessary.
Fill the fuel tank and firmly push the tank lid shut. Clean up any fuel
spillages. Never leave fuel in the fuel tank.
Only a well maintained model will function in a
correct manner.
Only use approved spare parts and never fit any unsuitable items.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the model is functioning
correctly and that all nuts, bolts and screws are properly tightened.
Radio controlled models are not toys, operat-
ing them has to be learned step by step.
• Children less than 14 years of age should drive the model only
together with a supervising adult.
Driving a radio controlled car is a fascinating hobby which has to be
practised with the necessary caution and respect.
A radio controlled model car can cause damage and injuries in case of
uncontrolled driving conditions and the user is liable for this.
Make sure that you have sufficient insurance coverage in practising
your hobby.
Never drive without first making sure of the
following points:
• Batteries for transmitter and receiver are well charged and of the
correct voltage.
• Always check the range of radio operation before starting the car.
• Make sure that all servos respond correctly to the signals of the
transmitter.
• All operable parts are in good condition and you have tested their
operation.
• You have made sure that all screws are tightened.
• There is no other RC or similar transmitter nearby, which could
cause interference. Any further radio signal on the same frequency
can cause the loss of control for your model. Always switch on the
transmitter first to avoid any uncontrolled reaction of the receiver
to a foreign radio impulse.
• Fully extend the transmitter antenna and make sure that nobody in
your environment controls a model with the same frequency (num-
ber on the crystal) and that there is no discernable interference. To
end the operation switch off the receiver first, then the transmitter.
• Keep your car away from high voltage cables or radio masts. Never
use the model during lightning!
• Atmospheric disturbances can affect the signals of your remote
controlling transmitter.
• Do not use the model in wet areas. The electrical connection of the
model is not waterproof. Therefore do not drive while it’s raining,
snowing, or in puddles or wet grass.
• Always avoid running radio control models in restricted, confined
or populated areas.
• Keep away from roads, highways, people and animals!
• Do not drive, if you are overtired or your reactivity is impaired in
another way.
• Watch your model constantly and do not become distracted.
• The body shell should be correctly attached to the vehicle before
driving.
• Regular maintenance and servicing are required to ensure top
performance.
• Allow cooling time for the engine components before removing
the body shell. Some parts (e.g. the motor and the muffler) become
extremely hot during operation and could cause serious injury. Pay
attention to charge announcement of your transmitter.
• Ensure that the batteries for the radio and receiver are fully
charged and of the correct voltage. When the batteries are running
low you might loose control of your model.
• Never use fully loaded batteries and batteries which have already
run low, or batteries of a different capacity at the same time.
• Never load batteries which are not rechargeable.
If not using the model for a longer time, the
rechargeable battery for driving has to be
removed absolutely.
