IMPORTANT NOTES – GENERAL
• 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. Children must not be allowed to put any
parts in their mouth, or pull vinyl bag over their head.
• Read and follow instructions supplied with paints and/or cement, if used (not included in
kit).
• Immediately after using your model, do NOT touch equipment on the model such as the
engine and muffl er, because they generate high temperatures. You may seriously 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 as your fi nger, hair, clothes, etc. may get caught.
• 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.
• Use a transmitter designed for ground use with RC cars. Make sure that no one else is
using the same frequency as yours in your operating area. Using the same frequency at
the same time, whether it is driving, fl ying or sailing, can cause loss of control of the RC
model, resulting in a serious accident.
• 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.
• Disconnect the battery pack before storing your model.
• When learning to operate your model, go to an area that has no obstacles that can
damage your model if your model suffers a collision.
• Remove any sand, mud, dirt, grass or water before putting your model away.
• If the model behaves strangely, immediately stop the model, check and clear the
problem.
• To prevent any serious personal injury and/or damage to property, be responsible when
operating all remote controlled models.
• 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.
• Because the model car is controlled by radio, it is subject to radio interference from many
sources that are beyond your control. Since radio interference can cause momentary loss
of control, always allow a safety margin in all directions around the model in order to
prevent collisions.
• Do not use your model:
- Near real cars, animals, or people that are unaware that an RC car is being
driven.
- In places where children and people gather
- In residential districts and parks
- In limited indoor spaces
- In wet conditions
- In the street
- In areas where loud noises can disturb others, such as hospitals and
residential areas.
- At night or anytime your line of sight to the model may be obstructed or
impaired in any way.
To prevent any serious personal injury and/or damage to property, please be
responsible when operating all remote controlled models.
IMPORTANT NOTES – ELECTRICAL
• Insulate any exposed electrical wiring (using heat shrink tubing or electrical tape) to
prevent dangerous short circuits. Take maximum care in wiring, connecting and insulating
cables. Make sure cables are always connected securely. Check connectors for if they
become loose. And if so, reconnect them securely. Never use R/C models with damaged
wires. A damaged wire is extremely dangerous, and can cause short-circuits resulting in
fi re. Please have wires repaired at your local hobby shop.
• Low battery power will result in loss of control. Loss of control can occur due to a weak
battery in either the transmitter or the receiver. Weak running battery may also result in
an out of control car if your car‘s receiver power is supplied by the running battery. Stop
operation immediately if the car starts to slow down.
• When not using RC model, always disconnect and remove battery.
• Do not disassemble battery or cut battery cables. If the running battery short-circuits,
approximately 300W of electricity can be discharged, leading to fi re or burns. Never
disassemble battery or cut battery cables.
• Use a recommended charger for the receiver and transmitter batteries and follow the
instructions correctly. Over-charging, incorrect charging, or using inferior chargers
can cause the batteries to become dangerously hot. Recharge battery when necessary.
Continual recharging may damage battery and, in the worst case, could build up heat
leading to fi re. If battery becomes extremely hot during recharging, please ask your local
hobby shop for check and/or repair and/or replacement.
• Regularly check the charger for potential hazards such as damage to the cable, plug,
casing or other defects. Ensure that any damage is rectifi ed before using the charger
