the instruction manual carefully before building.
T.O.P. Racing shall not be liable for any loss, injury or damages, whether
direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential, arising from the

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• This product is not suitable for children under 16 years of age without
the direct supervision of a knowledgeable adult.
• Assemble this kit only in places away from the reach of 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.
• Immediately after using your model, do not touch equipment on the
model such as the motor and speed controller, because they generate
high temperatures. You may seriously burn yourself by touching them.
• Follow the operating instructions for the radio equipment at all times.
• Do not put fingers or any objects inside rotating and moving parts, as
this may cause damage or serious injury as your finger, 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.
• Always turn on your transmitter before turning on the receiver in the
car. Always turn off the receiver before turning off your transmitter.
• 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.
• 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 conflict with or disrupt pedestrian or
vehicular traffic.
• Do not use your model:
1. Near real cars, animals, or people that are unaware that an RC car
is being driven.
2. In places where children and people gather
3. In limited indoor spaces
4. In wet conditions
5. In the street
6. In areas where loud noises can disturb others such as hospitals
and residential areas
7. 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.
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
• 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 fire.
• 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 electrical power can be
discharged, leading to fire 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 fire. 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
rectified before using the charger again. Modifying the charger may
cause short-circuit or overcharging leading to a serious accident.
Therefore do not modify the charger.
• Always unplug charger when recharging is finished.
• Do not recharge battery while battery is still warm. After use, battery
retains heat. Wait until it cools down before charging.
• Do not allow any metal part to short circuit the receiver batteries or
other electrical/electronic device on the model.
• Immediately stop running if your RC model gets wet as may cause
short circuit.
• Please dispose of batteries responsibly. Never put batteries into fire.
