Now it’s time to practise! Set up a
Carrera RC vehicle racing track in a
large empty area, using cornerposts,
empty cans, or similar objects. The basic
technique to adopt when operating a
Carrera RC is to drive fast on the straight
sections and to slow down in the curves.
• When changing from the fi rst battery to the second battery, you must stop run-
ning for at least ten minutes. At the next change, a pause of at least 20 minutes
is absolutely essential.
•
Avoid constant motor operation.
•
If the car switches itself off several times one after another, the battery is dead.
Please recharge the battery.
•
After 30 minutes inactivity, the controller and vehicle switch off automatically.
To restart, switch the ON/OFF switch on the controller & the car to OFF and
then back to ON.
•
To switch off after use, follow the steps in the reverse order.
• After use, remove or disconnect the battery. Always recharge the battery
immediately after use to prevent its becoming deep discharged.
• Always keep the rechargeable battery stored outside the vehicle.
•
Clean the Carrera RC car after use.
Thanks to 2.4 GHz technology, up to
16 cars can be run together on one
race-track. This is possible even
without harmonising frequencies
between the racing drivers.
