e) Batteries and rechargeable batteries
• Remove the rechargeable batteries of the receiver if you are not using the latter for a longer period of time.
• Never mix rechargeable batteries with dry-cell batteries.
• Never mix full and half full rechargeable batteries /batteries or rechargeable batteries with different capacities.
Otherwise, the weaker rechargeable batteries / batteries or rechargeable batteries with low capacity can be totally
discharged and leak
• Never try to charge normal batteries. (Danger of explosion!)
• Dispose properly of empty batteries or defect/no longer chargeable batteries (see chapter "Disposal").
5. Terminology
2WD, 4WD
2/4 wheel drive, 2 or 4 driven wheels.
ABC action settings
ABC means "Aluminium", "Brass" and "Chrome". Aluminium with its low thermal expansion and small weight serves
as material for pistons, the cylinder is made of brass with chrome-plated contact surface.
Axle leg
This is where the axle turns. The steering levers are located on the front axle legs.
Steering knuckle pin
Steering axle of the wheel. Connects the axle leg so that it is rotary with the axle leg support (between the top and
bottom transverse link).
Spindle
The axis onto which the wheel is screwed and around which the wheel is turning.
Ackermann Effect
To adjust the progressivity of the steering angle of the wheel on the inside of the curve (Ackermann effect), the
steering links can be reset to other steering points both in the steering arms and in the steering plate.
Chassis
The "frame" of the vehicle, to be precise only the bottom support plate.
CVD drive shaft
A shaft which on one side engages the attachment on the differential with a steel pin and which on the other side is
connected to the axle without tolerance via a cardan joint, leading to low wear. In this way the wheel can turn even
at a great steering angle (strongly angled shaft).
Damper plate
The upper end of the shock absorber of an axle right and left is screwed to the damper plate at the front or at the rear.
The shock absorbers are thus somehow interconnected via the damper plate.
