Thank you for purchasing the DuraTrax Street Force GP.
This manual contains the instructions you need to build,
operate and maintain your new nitro R/C touring car. Read
over this manual thoroughly before building or operating the
Street Force GP.
When the safety precautions are followed, the Street Force
GP will provide years of enjoyment. Use care and good
sense at all times when operating this radio controlled
touring car. Failure to use this vehicle in a safe, sensible
manner can result in injury or damage to property. You and
you alone must insure that the instructions are carefully
followed and all safety precautions are obeyed.
• Do not operate the Street Force GP near people.
Spectators should be behind the driver or at a safe
distance away from the vehicle.
• The engine and exhaust produces quite a bit of noise. If
you are disturbed by the amount of noise this touring car
produces, wear ear protection such as earplugs. Do not
run this vehicle when or where it can disturb others.
• The engine and exhaust can become very hot. Avoid
touching any of these parts during use and until they
have cooled down.
• Model engine fuel is poisonous. Make sure you read and
follow all of the precautions on the fuel container. Keep
fuel out of the reach of children.
• Model engine fuel is flammable and when ignited has a
flame that is difficult to see. Avoid sparks, flames,
smoking, or any other ignition source when fuel is near.
• The engine emits carbon dioxide just like real cars. Do
not operate this model indoors.
• Before turning on the transmitter, make sure that no one
else is on your frequency.
• Avoid working over a deep pile carpet. If you drop a small
part or screw, it will be difficult to find.
• Place a mat or towel over your work surface. This will
prevent parts from rolling off and will protect the work
surface.
• Avoid running the touring car in cold weather. The plastic
and metal parts can become brittle at low temperatures.
In addition, grease and oil become thick, causing
premature wear and poor performance.
• Test fit all parts before attaching them permanently.

speed abuse that makes R/C cars fun. We are so confident
