CUSTOmER SERvICE INfORmATION
SAfETY WARNINGS AND ImPORTANT INfORmATION
l
Under no circumstances should you operate your model in crowds of people. Serious injury could result.
l
Never operate your model on busy streets or if there are cars around.
l
Do not use your model to chase pets or other animals.
l
The electronics in your model are not waterproof. Therefore, do not drive through water, wet grass, mud or snow.
l
Because your model is operated by radio control, it is important to make sure you always use fresh and/or fully charged batteries (if
using Ni-Cds or Ni-MHs) in the transmitter. Never allow the batteries to run low or you could lose control of the model.
l
If your model becomes stuck, do not continue to apply power or damage can occur. Release the throttle and retrieve your model by hand.
l
To prevent excessive r.p.m.s from damaging your motor and/or drivetrain components, we suggest reducing power while in the air
during jumps.
n
General Warnings
l
Your model is tted with an extremely powerful brushless power system. For your safety, please use caution at all times to keep your
hands, loose clothing, etc., away from any moving parts.
l
For your safety and the safety of others, prior to making any programming changes to the Electronic Speed Controller using the
included ESC programming card, we strongly suggest removing the pinion gear from the motor. This will prevent any chance of a
runaway model.
l
The tyres on your model will 'balloon' to a larger diameter when mounted on a high-speed model, such as the Rail Brushless Off-Road
Buggy. DO NOT hold the model in the air and run it up to full throttle or tyre failure could occur. Check the tyres often to ensure that
they're securely glued onto the wheels.
l
After soldering connectors onto your batteries, and when plugging your batteries into the ESC, make sure to observe correct polarity.
This will ensure that when you plug the batteries into the ESC that you do not plug them in with reverse polarity. Plugging the batteries
in with reverse polarity will damage the ESC and possibly damage your batteries.
l
The power output of the brushless power system is dependent on the type and quality of the batteries and battery connectors that you
use. While the power system will provide good power using lower-quality batteries, to take full advantage of the power available, we
recommend the use of high-quality batteries and connectors. We provide high-quality gold-plated Bullet connectors on your model.
We recommend keeping these connectors and using the equivalent on your batteries.
