ii. When reinstalling tires, use caution when tightening the nuts that secure the wheels to the vehicle. Ensure the wheels
rotate freely after installed but don’t wobble excessively. Over tightening the wheels may cause excess strain on the
electrical and mechanical components of your vehicle. Operating your vehicle under these conditions will void your war-
ranty.
iii. Taking the above into consideration, leaving wheels too loose can cause them to strip. It is recommended to check that
the wheel nuts are tight every time you run your vehicle.
iv. Tire wear: Consequently running your vehicle will cause the tires to eventually wear out. Be sure to obtain and use
genuine replacement parts from your local hobby dealer when necessary.
6. General wear and tear:
a. Use of your vehicle will cause general wear and tear which is not covered under warranty yet may necessitate replacement
of components. Continued operation of your product with worn components may cause continued damage to other compo-
nents.
b. Be sure to regularly inspect your vehicle and accessories for excess wear and damaged components.
Storage:
• Always store all equipment in a cool dry place when not in use.
• Always disconnect the batteries before storage.
• Never store the battery, vehicle or transmitter in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
• Never store the transmitter with batteries installed for extended periods of time. Doing so may allow the batteries to leak and
cause permanent damage to the transmitter.
Disposal:
Your product is equipped with NiMH batteries which are considered electronic waste and should never be discarded in standard
garbage containers. Please visit your local hobby dealer (and some hardware stores too) and use the FREE battery disposal center
for proper disposal/recycling. Consult your local city hall for information on recycling other electronic waste.
