•  This product is not suitable for children under 16 years of age without the direct supervision of a responsible and knowledgeable adult.
•  Carefully read all manufacturers warnings and cautions for any parts used in the construction and use of your model.
•  Assemble this kit only in places away from the reach of very small children.
•  First-time builders and users should seek advice from people who have building experience in order to assemble the model correctly and to allow the 

model to reach its performance potential.

•  Exercise care when using tools and sharp instruments.
•  Take care when building, as some parts may have sharp edges.
•  Keep small parts out of reach of small children.
•  Immediately after using your model, do NOT touch equipment on the model such as the motor and speed controller, because they generate high 

temperatures. You may burn yourself seriously touching them.

•  Follow the operating instructions for the radio equipment at all times.
•  Do not put fi ngers or any objects inside rotating and moving parts, as this may cause damage or serious injury.
•  Be sure that your operating frequency is clear before turning on or running your model, and never share the same frequency with somebody else at 

the same time. Ensure that others are aware of the operating frequency you are using and when you are using it.

•  Always turn on your transmitter before you turn on the receiver in the car. Always turn off the receiver before turning your transmitter off.
•  Keep the wheels of the model off the ground when checking the operation of the radio equipment.

•  The model car is not intended for use on public places and roads or areas where its operation can confl ict with or disrupt pedestrian or vehicular traffi c.
