MECHANICAL SPEED CONTROLLER
Battery
CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING AT LOW SPEED WILL
CAUSE RESISTOR HEAT BUILD UP.
R/C modles featuring mechanical speed controller use
a resistor to bleed off excess current heating up resistor
when running at low speeds. Continuously running at low
or mid speeds may result in damaged to the resistor, or
even melting resistor board or cables.
Resistors become extremely hot during or after use.
Never touch until it cools down as may cause burns.
Running in a narrow space or indoors can cause resistor
to overheat due to running at low speeds. Always operate
in a wide area only.

CONTROLLER ADJUSTMENT RESULTS IN
RESISTOR HEAT BUILD UP.
Before operating R/C model, always check
and adjust mechanical speed, controller switches
to stop, low speed, medium speed and top
speed positions, using your transmitter.
A speed controller that cannot switch to the top
speed position can result in heat build up,
damaging the resistor.
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. A 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 vehicle starts to slow down.
RECHARGE CORRECTLY.
P L E A S E D I S P O S E O F B A T T E R I E S
RESPONSIBLY. NEVER PUT BATTERIES
INTO FIRE.
Carefully follow the instruction manual supplied
with battery and charger, and only recharge
battery when necessary. Continual recharging
may damage battery and, in the worst case,
could build up heat leading to fire. If battery
becomes extremely hot during recharging,
please ask your local hobby shop for check/repair.
WHEN NOT USING R/C MODEL, ALWAYS
DISCONNECT AND REMOVE BATTERY.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE BATTERY OR CUT
BATTERY CABLES.
If the running battery short-circuits, approx.300W of
electricity can be discharged, leading to fire or burns.
Never disassemble battery or cut battery cables.
MODIFYING CHARGER IS DANGEROUS.
Modifying the charge may cause short-circuit or
overcharging leading to a serious accident.

BATTERY IS STILL WARM.
After use, battery retains heat. Wait until it cools
down before recharging.
