2.
Radio interference can be caused by
the operation of your vehicle near HIGH
VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL WIRES,
LARGE STEEL REINFORCED CON-
CRETE BUILDINGS AND PASSING
TRUCKS WITH CB RADIOS.
Avoid
these if possible.
3.
DO NOT operate
your vehicle over wet sur-
faces. Water can damage the
electronic assemblies.
5.
For best results, hold anten-
na up, not pointed down toward
R/C vehicle. If you drive your
vehicle TOO FAR AWAY
FROM THE TRANSMITTER,
your signal strength will become
weak and vehicle will not func-
tion properly. The maximum
range for the vehicle should be
between 30'/10m to 65'/20m,
when operating outdoors.
1.
Radio interference is caused by the
presence of another radio controlled
vehicle operating on the same frequency
as your vehicle. Obviously, multiple
vehicles should NOT BE OPERATED
ON THE SAME FREQUENCY at
the same time.
4.
DO NOT operate
your vehicle on streets!
They are for real cars.
65'/20m
30'/10m
Quick Reference
This section is only a quick reference
guide. Please read this entire manual
thoroughly before operating your vehicle.
1. Give your TMH FlexPak battery pack
a full 4-hour charge and then install
in vehicle.
2. Turn vehicle switch “ON.” Press either
joystick and you will be able to run
and control your vehicle.
3. After approximately 25 minutes of
running, your vehicle will lose most of
its power at once. The TMH FlexPak
battery pack is near total power loss
and needs to be recharged.
4. Turn vehicle switch “OFF.”
Tips & Hints
1.
The radio circuitry in your vehicle
and transmitter is sensitive. Do not
store vehicle or transmitter near heat
or in direct sunlight. After each use,
remove any water or moisture from
vehicle using a clean dry cloth. Avoid
operating in snow.
2. Turn vehicle switch to the “OFF”
position and remove battery pack
when not in use.
3. When your vehicle runs erratically,
the problem is usually the result of
interference caused by high tension
wires, CB radios, or other R/C vehicles
running nearby on the same frequency
as yours. You may have to choose an
alternative place to race.
■ Do not operate your vehi-
cle in sand.
