To prevent serious personal injury and/or property damage,operate all remotely
controlled models in a responsible manner as outlined herein.
Safety Precautions
1.1 This radio-controlled model is not a toy, it is designed for persons 14 years of age or older.
1.2 Do not operate your vehicle on unsafe terrain; always pay attention to your surroundings.
1.3 Never operate your vehicle on public roadways, around moving people, animals, or operating machinery.
1.4 Keep clear of power lines and high-powered radio equipment to minimize radio frequency interference.
1.5 Since this vehicle contains small components, it may be a choking hazard for small children. Keep the vehicle and
any spare parts out of reach of small children.
Inspect your radio-controlled model before operation
2.1 Ensure that all screws are properly tightened. Use thread-lock to secure any metal to metal contacts- especially for components designed
to withstand torque (servo mounts, motor mount, drive shaft grub screws etc.).
2.2 Always check the battery voltage for both the transmitter and vehicle prior to operating your vehicle. Keep the batteries fresh in the
transmitter and always begin your vehicle runs with a fully charged battery pack.
2.3 Always check that the motor and servo are operating smoothly and in the right direction prior to operation. If binding between
components is observed, replace parts as necessary to reduce possibility of component or servo damage.
2.4 To turn on your vehicle, always power on your transmitter first, then power on your receiver.
After operating your radio-controlled model
3.1 To turn off the vehicle, always power off your receiver prior to powering off your transmitter.
3.2 Use caution when handling the vehicle- components, especially the ESC and motor which will be hot after operation.
3.3 Never use battery packs which are dented or otherwise damaged. Ensure that the wire insulation is intact and that connectors are
properly soldered. Lithium batteries can become fire hazards if mishandled.
