Manual
• Use common sense when driving your model. Intentionally driving in a violent and rough manner will result in poor performance and
defective parts. Take care of your model so you can it for a long time.
• High performance vehicles create small vibrations that can cause bolts to come loose over time. Check the lug nuts and other bolts on your
vehicle regularly to make sure all bolts are always tight.
• On the subject of drive time: Drive time is very much affected by the type and condition of the battery used. The milliampere hour (mAh)
rating of the battery determines how big it ,,fuel tank" is. A 3,000 mAh battery pack will last twice as long as a short 1,500 mAh pack.
• However, because of the many different types of batteries available and the methods of charging, it is impossible to give an exact ride time
for your model. Another important factor that affects drive time is also the way the model is driven. Ride time may be reduced if the model
is repeatedly accelerated from stop to maximum speed.
• Read and follow all battery and charger manufacturer's maintenance and care instructions.
• Keep the motor and controller cool. Provide adequate ventilation at the electric speed controller cooling plates.
• Use the correct undervoltage detection setting for your battery! Never use LiPo batteries if the undervoltage detection is deactivated!
• Make sure that no dirt or damaged parts block the drive train. Keep the motor clean.
Battery and charger
Please use only special modeling chargers and batteries. Consult a model store for advice in this regard. Never store or keep your batteries in a
fully charged state.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children and pets, as they may accidentally swallow them. In this case, consult a doctor immediately!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/accumulators can cause burns on contact. If skin or eyes come into contact with the electrolyte, immediately rinse the area
thoroughly with clean water and seek medical attention. Use suitable protective gloves when disposing of the defective battery.
• If you notice any abnormalities such as odor, discoloration, excessive heating or deformation of the rechargeable battery, disconnect the battery from the
charger or consumer immediately. Dispose of the battery!
• Conventional alkaline batteries (1.5V) are intended for single use only and must be disposed of properly afterwards.
• Dispose of empty batteries or defective rechargeable batteries in an environmentally friendly manner via the authorized collection points. Disposal with
household waste is prohibited!
• Batteries must not get damp or wet. Also avoid the formation of condensation.
• Never expose the batteries, the charger and the model to adverse ambient conditions (e.g. wetness, excessively high or low ambient temperature, ignition
sources, open fire, dust, vapors or solvents)!
• Avoid heavy soiling as well as excessive mechanical stress on the battery, also never tug on the connection cables!
• Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries in one device at the same time! Use either only batteries or only rechargeable batteries.
• If no brand-new batteries are used for the power supply of the transmitter, make sure that the remaining capacity is sufficient (battery tester).
• If you use rechargeable batteries instead of batteries, you must expect a reduction in operating time and possibly also range problems due to the lower voltage
(batteries=1.5V, rechargeable batteries=1.2V) and the lower capacity of rechargeable batteries.
• Always replace the complete set of batteries or rechargeable batteries, not just individual cells. Always use batteries or rechargeable batteries of the same type
and manufacturer.
• Do not mix batteries with different charge levels. The weaker ones or those with lower capacity could be deep discharged and leak.
• When inserting batteries or rechargeable batteries into the battery holder, ensure that the polarity is correct. Incorrect polarity will not only damage your
model, but also the battery.
• Batteries must never be short-circuited, damaged, disassembled or thrown into open fire.
• For safety reasons LiPo batteries have a minimum discharge voltage which should not be fallen short of. The electronic speed controller is equipped with a
built-in low voltage detection that gives the driver a warning signal when LiPo batteries have reached their minimum voltage. It is the driver's responsibility to
stop driving immediately to prevent the battery from discharging below the safety limit of its minimum voltage.
• Undervoltage detection on the speed controller is only one part of the extensive features for safe operation of LiPo batteries in your model. It is extremely
important that you, the user, also follow all battery and charger manufacturer instructions for safe charging, operation and storage. Make sure you understand
how to use your LiPo batteries. If you have any questions about how to use LiPo batteries, please contact your local dealer or the battery manufacturer. As a
reminder, all batteries should be recycled at the end of their life.
There is a risk of fire and explosion!
Immediately disconnect the battery from the charger in case of strong heating!
If the model is not used for a longer period of time, remove the inserted batteries from the remote control and from the model to avoid damage due to
leaking / deeply discharged batteries.
