b) Commissioning
• The manual for the remote control system is included separately. Always observe all safety information
included in it as well as any other information!
• Only use suitable drive batteries for the vehicle. Never operate the speed controller with a mains adapter,
not even for test purposes.
• This vehicle is suitable only for use with a LiPo drive battery with 2 cells (nominal voltage of drive battery
7.4 V) or NiMH drive battery with 6 cells (nominal voltage 7.2 V).
Whenusingadrivebatterywith morecells,thereisadangerofrefromoverheatingofthespeed
controller. Apart from this, the vehicle‘s drive will be overloaded and damaged by this (e.g. differential).
Loss of guarantee/warranty!

drive battery be connected with the speed controller and the speed controller switched on. Otherwise,
the vehicle may show unpredictable responses!
Proceed as follows:
- Place the vehicle on an appropriate support before connecting the drive battery so that the wheels
can turn freely.
- Switch off the speed controller.
- Switch on the transmitter if you haven’t done it already. Check its function (e.g. operation display of
the transmitter).
- Put the trimming for the throttle/brake function at the transmitter into the centre position.
- Now connect a fully charged drive battery to the speed controller in the correct polarity.
- Now switch on the speed controller. Wait for a few seconds until the speed controller has completed
its self-test.
- Checkthatthevehiclereactstoremotecontrolcommandsasexpected(steeringanddrive)before
taking it from the support and placing it on the ground with its wheels.
- If the drive does not work as desired, you may need to program the neutral position and the full throttle
positionforforwardandreversedriving;seechapter10.a).
c) Driving the Vehicle
• Improper operation can cause serious damage to people and property! Only drive with the model directly
in view. This is why you shouldn’t drive at night.
• Onlydrivewhenyourabilitytoreactisunimpaired.Tirednessortheinuenceofalcoholormedication
can cause incorrect responses, just as with real vehicles.
• Please note that this model car must not be driven on public roads, places or streets. Also do not operate
it on private grounds without the owner‘s permission.
• Don’t drive towards animals or people!
• Avoid driving at very low outdoor temperatures. Plastic parts lose elasticity, which may lead to damage
even in a light accident.
