Let’s Drive!
When heading out to drive your model, it’s important to always use common sense. Your
new MINIs are fast and at top speed you are covering over 32ft per second! For this reason
it is best to stand in the middle of the area that you want to use your car. Doing this will
keep the MINIs closer to you and maximize the radio range. Driving in an abusive and or
rough style will only result in damage, broken parts, or poor performance. The ESC system
is not waterproof. Avoid driving through puddles, mud, or snow. If water gets into the
electronics it could damage them.
- Avoid overloading your model. Never run it in areas where its movement will be restrict-
ed, e.g.thick grass, weeds, mud etc. as this can over stress the motor and bind the
drivetrain.
- Ensure nothing prevents the smooth running of the moving parts.
- Do not run your model in confined spaces.
- Never run your model in a public space where it might upset or endanger people or
wildlife.
- Immediately discontinue use of your vehicle and transmitter if you see lightning or hear
thunder. Never use your vehicle in the rain.
- Do not dismantle or tamper with this R/C vehicle or its transmitter. The manufacturer and
distributor will accept no responsibility, expressed or implied, for accidents or injuries
caused as a result of dis-assembly, modification and/or usage against the instructions for
this product.
- The transmitter’s range will vary depending on your surroundings and battery strength.
Do not operate the model too far away or control could be lost (stay within 5-25 ft).
- Ensure that all batteries are correctly installed and that the Li-Po battery is fully charged
and in good condition.
- Do not touch ANY moving parts during operation.
- Don’t run in public roads with traffic!
- If your Car/MINIs becomes stuck against something, release the throttle. Do not continue
to push the throttle or run the motor. Do not try to push, pull, or tow objects of any weight
as this will increase heat in the electronics and cause failures.
Before you drive:
Before every use it’s recommended to check that the steering and drivetrain are
moving freely and nothing is binding. Next ensure that the model and the transmitter are
working correctly. Before you drive your model, range test the radio system to ensure
that it operates properly! Turn on the transmitter and then the model, check its operat-
ing as it should. Walk away from the model giving steering input with the radio until you
reach the maximum distance you are planning to drive your model. If you lose input
control walk back towards the model. You now know the safe operating distance for your
immediate environment. Do not attempt to operate the model if there is any problem
with the radio system/external interference with your radio signal at your location.
