Safety
Precautions
• Choose the right location to drive. Your model is absolutely not intended for use on
public roads or congested areas where its operation can conflict with or disrupt
pedestrian or vehicular tra c. This is to prevent the possibility of injury or death
resulting from collision with the model by another human being or animal.
• Do not drive the RC car by yourself. Bring a friend along to act as a spotter to alert
you if a person or animal is approaching.
• Do not operate your model at night, or anytime your line of sight to the model may be
obstructed or impaired in any way.
• Do not drive the model close to you where a mistake or loss of control could cause the
model to collide with you or any spectator.
• Always carefully inspect your model for damage or loose components before running.
Do not drive the model if it is damaged in any way. Tighten any loose hardware.
• Never pick up the model by its tires or wheels. Always keep your hands safely clear of
moving parts whenever the batteries are plugged in.
• Keep the RC car stored with the batteries removed, out of the reach of children and
protected from access by any other unauthorized driver.
• Always disconnect the batteries in the model when it is not in use.
Never store the vehicle with batteries in the model, as this can cause a fire leading to
property damage, serious personal injury or even death.
• Do not continue to operate the model with low batteries or you could lose control of it.
Indications of low battery power include slow operation and delayed vehicle response.
Stop immediately at the first sign of weak batteries. When the batteries in the
transmitter become weak, the red power light will begin to flash.
Stop immediately and install new batteries.
• Most importantly, use good common sense at all times.
SPEED CONTROL
Your model's electronic speed control (ESC) is an extremely powerful electronic device
capable of delivering high current. Please closely follow these precautions to prevent
damage to the speed control or other components.
• Disconnect the Battery: Always disconnect the battery or batteries from the speed
control when not in use.
• Insulate the Wires: Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing to prevent
short circuits.
• Transmitter on First: Switch on your transmitter first before switching on the speed
control to prevent runaways and erratic performance.
• Don't Get Burned: The ESC and motor can become extremely hot during use, so be
careful not to touch them until they cool. Supply adequate airflow for cooling.
• No Reverse Voltage: The ESC is not protected against reverse polarity voltage.
