Let’s hit the road!
When heading out to drive your model, it’s important to always use common sense. Your
new Car/Truck is 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 Car/Truck 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 drive-
train.
- Ensure nothing prevents the smooth running of the moving parts.
- Do not run your model in confined spaces.
This is an outdoor toy, do not run in your
home.
- Never run your model in a public space where it might upset or endanger people or wild-
life.
- 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 20-50 ft).
- Ensure that all batteries are correctly installed and that the LITHIUM 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/Truck 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.
Battery Guidelines:
-Lithium batteries can be re-charged many times, however over time the battery will
lose its ability to take or hold a charge. At this point the battery will need to be properly
recycled.
- Do not store or leave batteries in areas with extreme heat or cold. Batteries should be
left and stored at room temperature.
- Always have the battery unplugged from the toy or charger when not being used.
- Do not submerge batteries under water. Always wipe off any water with a clean towel
or rag.
- It is best to store the battery out of the toy and on a non-flammable surface.
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.
