b) Commissioning
• Only use a suitable drive batteries for the vehicle. Never operate the speed controller of the vehicle 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 7.4 V) or 3 cells
(nominal voltage 11.1 V).
When using a drive battery with more cells, there is a danger of fire from overheating of the speed control -
ler. Apart from this, the vehicle's drive will be overloaded and damaged by this (e.g. differential). Loss of
guarantee/warranty!
Connection of a NiMH drive battery with 6 - 9 cells is possible as well, but not recommended due to the high
power intake of the vehicle.
• When putting the device into operation, always turn on the transmitter first. Only then must the vehicle's drive bat -
tery 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.
• Insert the batteries in the transmitter and switch on the transmitter if this has not been done yet. Check its
function (e.g. operation display of the transmitter).
• Put the transmitter trimming for driving into the middle position.
• Connect a fully charged drive battery to the speed controller in the correct polarity (red cable = plus/+,
black cable = minus/-).
• Now switch on the speed controller. Wait for a few seconds until the speed controller has completed its
self-test.
Ensure that the undervoltage recognition of the speed controller is on. Otherwise, there may be deep
discharge of the LiPo drive battery when operating the vehicle, which will permanently damage it.
• 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 vehicle does not work as desired, observe chapter 15.
c) Driving the Vehicle
• Improper operation may cause serious injury and property damage! 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 unrestricted. Tiredness or the influence of alcohol or medication can cause
incorrect responses, just as with real vehicles.
• Please note that this model vehicle must not be driven on public roads, places or streets. Also do not operate it on
private grounds without the owner's permission.
• Never 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.
