Safety Instructions and Intended Use
This internal combustion engine R/C car is a remote-controlled,
two-stroke engine-driven model car. It is designed for
recreational purposes only and should only be driven on
designated tracks or in designated areas. Do not use this
model car in enclosed spaces. These cars should not be driven
close to people or animals.
Never transport goods, people or animals on an internal
combustion engine R/C model car.
In order to prevent errors, always read the operating
instructions carefully prior to use!
The R/C model car should only be driven in suitable areas.
Never race it on public roads. Model cars should only be used
with a correctly fitted upper body. Prior to removing the upper
This model is not a toy!
• This radio controlled model is not a toy. Learning how to
control it correctly is a gradual process.
• Children under 14 years of age should be supervised by an
adult.
Driving a radio controlled car is a fascinating hobby. However, it
has to be practised with the necessary caution and respect.
A radio controlled model car can cause damage and injury and
the user is liable for any such incident.
Pay attention to the charge level indicator
lamps of your transmitter.
• Batteries for transmitter and receiver are well charged and of
the correct voltage.
• Always check the range of radio operation before starting
the car.
• Make sure that all servos respond correctly to the signals of
the transmitter.
• All operable parts are in good condition and you have tested
their operation.
• You have made sure that all screws are tightened.
• There is no other RC or similar transmitter nearby, which
could cause interference. Any further radio signal on the
same frequency can cause the loss of control for your
model. Always switch on the transmitter first to avoid any
uncontrolled reaction of the receiver to a foreign radio
impulse.
• Fully extend the transmitter antenna and make sure that
nobody in your environment controls a model with the same
frequency (number on the crystal) and that there is no
discernable interference. To end the operation switch off the
receiver first, then the transmitter.
• Keep your car away from high voltage cables or radio masts.
• Never use the model during lightning.
• Atmospheric disturbances can affect the signals of your
remote controlling transmitter.
• Do not use the model in wet areas. The electrical connection
of the model is not waterproof. Therefore do not drive while
it's raining, snowing, or in puddles or wet grass.

body, always turn off the engine and allow it to cool down,
as the cooling head and exhaust pipe become hot during
operation. The model car should not be used in close proximity
to people over a longer period, since hearing loss may occur.
To prevent malfunctioning of the control system,
and therefore erratic driving behaviour, always check the
correct charge state of the batteries in the transmitter and the
receiver. For simultaneous operation of several vehicles, the
model car should only be operated at a free frequency.
Always check that the model car is assembled correctly prior
to and after each use. If necessary, retighten nuts, bolts and
screws. Always check that the tank system is sealed correctly
prior to each use. The fuel tank cap has to be closed tightly.
Make sure that you have sufficient insurance cover when prac-
tising your hobby.
Only a well maintained model will function in a correct manner.
Only use approved spare parts and never improvise with any
unsuitable items.
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the model is functio-
ning correctly and that all nuts, bolts and screws are properly
tightened.
• Always avoid running radio control models in restricted,
confined or populated areas.
• Keep away from roads, highways, people and animals.
• Choose a sufficiently open and large area; it should be free
of obstacles.
• Do not drive, if you are overtired or your reactivity is impaired
in another way.
• Watch your model constantly and do not become distracted.
• The body shell should be correctly attached to the vehicle
before driving.
• Allow cooling time for the engine components before remo-
ving the body shell.
• Some parts (e.g. the motor and the muffler) become
extremely hot during operation and could cause serious
injury.
Pay attention to charge announcement of your transmitter.
• Ensure that the batteries for the radio and receiver are fully
charged and of the correct voltage. When the batteries are
running low you might loose control of your model.
• Never use fully loaded batteries and batteries which have
already run low, or batteries of a different capacity at the
same time.
• Never load batteries which are not rechargeable
If you do not use the model for a longer time you must remove
the rechargeable battery.
