SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All of us at Traxxas want you to safely enjoy your new model.
Operate your model sensibly and with care, and it will be exciting,
safe, and fun for you and those around you. Failure to operate your
model in a safe and responsible manner may result in property
damage and serious injury. The precautions outlined in this manual
should be strictly followed to help ensure safe operation. You alone
must see that the instructions are followed and the precautions are
adhered to.
Important Points to Remember
WARNING: Cutting Hazard. The propeller is extremely sharp and
spins at high speed. To avoid cuts or other severe injury, keep
fingers clear of the propeller whenever batteries are connected.
Remove or keep loose articles of clothing and long hair away from
the propeller when handling and running the boat.
•
CAUTION: Watch out for hot
parts.
Battery connectors,
wires, and even batteries can
become very hot after the
DCB M41 Widebody is run
very aggressively at peak
performance levels. Remove the hatch and allow these items to
cool for about 2 minutes before handling. Excessive heat and short
run time (less than 3 minutes on a pair of 3-cell 5000mAh LiPo
batteries) are indicators that your driving style is too aggressive for
the conditions. You may experience severe component damage
and greatly increased wear in the driveline. In this case, you may
see what appears to be smoke inside the hatch when you remove
it, but it is a combination of steam and outgassing from the wire
insulation due to heat. If you are not experiencing about 4+
minutes of run time, then adjust your driving style to be smoother
and less aggressive.
• Always follow local laws and ordinances with respect to running RC
boats. Observe water safety rules and regulations.
• Never, under any circumstances, operate your model in any
water where people are swimming or wading. Your model is fast
and could cause injury if allowed to collide with anyone. Respect
wildlife; avoid running in areas reserved for water fowl!
• Do not drive your model at night.
