b) Commissioning
The manual for the remote control system is included separately. Always observe all safety information
included in it as well as any other information!
• Only use a suitable drive battery for the vehicle. Never operate the speed controller with a mains adapter, not even
for test purposes.
This vehicle is suitable only for use with a LiPo drive battery with 2 cells (nominal voltage of drive battery
7.4 V) or NiMH drive battery with 6 cells (nominal voltage 7.2 V).
When using a drive battery with more cells, there is a danger of fire from overheating of the speed controller.
Apart from this, the vehicle‘s drive will be overloaded and damaged by this (e.g. differential). Loss of gua-
rantee/warranty!
• When putting the device into operation, always turn on the transmitter first. Only then must the vehicle‘s drive battery
be connected with the speed controller and the speed controller switched on. Otherwise, the vehicle may show
unpredictable responses!
Proceed as follows:
Place the vehicle on an appropriate support before connecting the drive battery so that the wheels can turn
freely.
Switch off the speed controller (Move the slider away from the setup button).
Switch on the transmitter if you haven’t done it already. Check its function (e.g. operation display of the
transmitter).
Put the trimming for the throttle/brake function at the transmitter into the centre position.
Now connect a fully charged drive battery to the speed controller in the correct polarity.
Now you can switch on the speed controller (Move the slider towards the setup button). Wait for a few
seconds until the speed controller has completed its self-test.
• Check that the vehicle reacts to remote control commands as expected (steering and drive) before taking it from the
support and placing it on the ground with its wheels.
• If the drive does not work as desired, you may need to programme the neutral position and the full throttle position;
see chapter 10 a).
c) Driving the Vehicle
• Improper operation can cause serious damage to people and property! Only drive with the model directly in view.
This is why you shouldn’t drive at night.
• Only drive when your ability to react is unimpaired. Tiredness or the influence of alcohol or medication can cause
incorrect responses, just as with real vehicles.
• Please note that this model car must not be driven on public roads, places or streets. Also do not operate it on
private grounds without the owner‘s permission.
• Don’t drive towards animals or people!
• Avoid driving at very low outdoor temperatures. Plastic parts lose elasticity, which may lead to damage even in a
light accident.
• Do not drive in thunderstorms; don‘t drive under high-voltage power lines or in the proximity of radio masts.
