b) Commissioning
• Use only the enclosed 2-cell LiPo drive battery (nominal voltage 7.4 V) for the vehicle or a spare drive
battery of the same build. Never operate the vehicle with a mains adapter, not even for test purposes.

battery be connected to the vehicle and the vehicle 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 vehicle.
- Switch on the transmitter if you haven’t done it already. Check its function (e.g. operation display of
the transmitter).
- Put the transmitter trimming for driving into the centre position.
- Connect a fully charged drive battery to the vehicle in the correct polarity (red cable = plus/+, black
cable = minus/-).
- Only switch on the vehicle now.
- 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, observe chapter 16.
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.
• Do not drive in the case of a thunderstorm, under high-voltage power lines or in the proximity of radio
masts.
• Don't drive in the rain, through wet grass, water, mud or snow. The model is not waterproof or watertight.
Moisture not only causes corrosion but also damages the electronics.
• As long as the vehicle is in operation you must always leave the transmitter switched on.
