• Avoid driving at very low outdoor temperatures. Plastic parts lose elasticity, which may lead to damage even in a
light accident.
• Do not drive in the case of a thunderstorm, under high-voltage power lines or in the proximity of radio masts.
• Leave the transmitter on while the vehicle is in operation.
• When parking the vehicle, always switch off the vehicle's speed controller first and disconnect the drive battery from
the speed controller completely then.
Now you may turn off the transmitter.
• The range of the transmitter decreases when the batteries (or rechargeable batteries) are weak. Exchange the bat
-
teries or rechargeable batteries for new ones.
When the car's drive battery is weak, the car gets slower or no longer responds correctly to the transmitter.
The drive battery in the vehicle is not only used for supplying the engine though the speed controller. The
speed controller also generates the voltage/current required for operating the receiver and the steering
servo.
For this, the speed controller has an integrated BEC ("Battery Eliminator Circuit"; electronic circuit for direct
voltage supply of the receiver without additional receiver battery).
If the voltage in the drive battery is too low, the voltage at the receiver may also drop, causing the vehicle to
no longer respond to the control commands at the transmitter.
In this case, stop driving at once (switch off speed controller, disconnect drive battery from vehicle, switch off trans-
mitter). Then replace the vehicle drive battery or recharge the drive battery.
• If the vehicle is operated with a LiPo drive battery, the speed controller must be set to the rechargeable battery type
"LiPo" with the jumper (see chapter 9. c). The speed controller then reduces the output of the electric motor at a
battery voltage of 6.5 V. The motor is switched off below a voltage of 6.0 V.
This prevents a harmful deep discharge of the LiPo drive battery.
• The motor and drive as well as speed controller and drive battery of the vehicle get hot during operation. Wait at
least 5 to 10 minutes before exchanging the rechargeable battery.
Let the drive battery cool down completely before charging it.
Do not touch the motor, the speed controller or the rechargeable battery until they have cooled down. Danger of
burns!
