c) Driving the vehicle
•
Improper use can cause serious injury and damage to property! Only use the vehicle when it is within
your sight. Do not use the vehicle at night.
•
Only use the vehicle when you are fully alert and able to respond. As is the case when driving a real
vehicle, fatigue, alcohol or medications can affect your ability to react.
•
This model vehicle must not be used on public roads, spaces or paths. Do not use the vehicle on private
land without the landowner's permission.
•
Do not drive towards people or animals!
•
Avoid driving at very low outdoor temperatures. Plastic parts lose their elasticity at cold temperatures.
This can result in serious damage even after a minor accident.
•
Do not use the vehicle during thunderstorms, under high-voltage power lines or next to radio masts.
•
Always leave the transmitter turned on when the vehicle is in use.
• To stop the vehicle, always turn off the vehicle's speed controller first, then completely disconnect the two
drive rechargeable batteries from the speed controller. Then turn off the transmitter.
•
If the batteries (or rechargeable batteries) in the transmitter are weak, the transmission range decreases.
Replace the batteries or rechargeable batteries with new ones.
•
If the drive batteries in the vehicle are weak, the vehicle will become slower or will no longer respond
correctly to the transmitter.
Both drive batteries in the vehicle serve to supply the motor via the speed controller, and the latter also
generates the necessary voltage/power for the operation of the receiver and the steering servo.
This voltage is generated via an integrated BEC ("battery eliminator circuit", an electronic circuit that
supplies voltage directly to the receiver without an additional receiver rechargeable battery).
If the voltage of the drive batteries is too low, the voltage of the receiver may also drop, which means that
the vehicle will no longer respond to the transmitter’s control commands.
In this case, stop operating the vehicle immediately (turn off the speed controller, disconnect the drive
batteries from the vehicle, and switch off the transmitter). Then replace both drive batteries in the vehicle
or fully recharge them.
•
Both the motor and the drive as well as the speed controller and the drive batteries of the vehicle become
hot during operation. Take a break of at least 5–10 minutes before changing the rechargeable battery.
•
Before charging the drive batteries, allow them to cool down completely.
•
Do not touch the motor, speed controller and drive batteries until they have cooled down. Burn hazard!
