H) Stopping The Vehicle - Reely ROAD Deathwatcher Operating Instructions Manual

Stop driving immediately if the vehicle shows any unusual responses to the remote commands or if the
vehicle does not respond at all.
This behaviour may be caused by low batteries/rechargeable batteries in the vehicle or transmitter or by
too great a distance between vehicle and transmitter.
Interferences on the radio channel used (e.g. other models, radio transmissions from other devices) or
adverse transmission/reception conditions may also be a cause for unusual responses of the vehicle.
Since the receiver is supplied with power through the speed controller BEC and thus through the batteries/
rechargeable batteries in the vehicle, low or empty batteries/rechargeable batteries in the vehicle will
cause unintentional movement of the vehicle (e.g. twitching of the steering servo, etc.). For example, the
voltage at the batteries/rechargeable batteries decreases for a short time under full throttle, so that the
receiver will no longer receive the required operating voltage. The vehicle will speed up, but the steering
servo does not react properly. Stop operating the vehicle at once and use new batteries or fully charged
rechargeable batteries.
Before the next drive, however, wait for at least 5 minutes until motor and speed controller have cooled
down sufficiently.

h) Stopping the Vehicle

To stop driving, proceed as follows:
• Let go of the throttle/brake lever on the transmitter so that it goes into neutral position, and let the vehicle run out.
• Once the vehicle is stationary, remove the car body and switch off the speed controller (for switch position see figure
chapter 8. e).
Never touch the wheels or the drive mechanism, and make sure you do not move the throttle/brake lever
at the transmitter!
• Disconnect the plug of the battery/rechargeable battery holder
from the vehicle (see arrow in the figure on the right).
• It is only now that the transmitter may be turned off.
• If the vehicle is not used for an extended period, remove the
batteries or rechargeable batteries from the vehicle.
Attention!
The motor and speed controller grow very hot in operation! Do not touch these parts immediately after
operation. Danger of burns!
