Safety instructions
A. A Carrera RC vehicle is a remote-controlled model car that uses
special rechargeable batteries for this purpose. Only original Carrera RC
LiFePO4 rechargeable batteries may be used. Rechargeable batteries are to be
removed from the toy before being charged.
B. The Carrera RC vehicle is designed for hobby use only and may only be
operated on tracks and in spaces especially intended for this purpose.
WARNING! Do not use the Carrera RC vehicle in road traffic.
C. Do not operate the car beneath overhead high-voltage cables or
broadcasting masts or during a storm! Atmospheric disturbances can affect the
operation of the vehicle. When there a large temperature differences between
your car’s garage and the running track, please wait until the vehicle has had
time to acclimatize. This will help prevent condensation from forming and the
possibility of malfunctions resulting.
D. Never operate the product on grass surfaces. There is the risk of
grass hindering the movement of the axles, which can lead to the motor
overheating. Do not use the Carrera RC vehicle for transporting goods,
persons, or animals.
E. Never use the Carrera RC vehicle outdoors during rain or snowfall. The
car must not be run through water, puddles, and snow, and must always be kept
stored in a dry place. Wet surfaces without puddles will not affect the car’s
performance as the electronic equipment is protected against spray.
F. Never operate the vehicle near rivers, ponds, or lakes, to avoid the
risk of the Carrera RC car falling into the water. Avoid running on courses
that are laid exclusively with sand.
G. Do not expose the Carrera RC vehicle to direct sunlight. To avoid the
electronics in the car overheating, when temperatures are above 35 ° C,
regular short pauses in operation are essential.
H. Never subject the Carrera car to repeated changes of load – that means
continuously reversing it.
I. Always place the car on the floor by hand. Never throw the car on the
floor from a standing position.
K. Avoid jumping from jumps or ramps higher than 5 cm (0.16 ft.).
L. Never use strong solvents for cleaning the car.
M. To avoid malfunctions to the control system resulting in uncontrolled
operation of the Carrera RC vehicle, check that the controller batteries and
the rechargeable batteries in the vehicle have sufficient charge. Supply
terminals are not to be short-circuited.
N. The Carrera RC vehicle must be inspected before and after the
operation, each time it is used, to ensure that it has not become
disassembled. Any screws or nuts that may have become loosened during
operation must be tightened.

Charging the rechargeable battery -
Take care only to charge the LiFePO4 battery supplied with the LiFePO4 charging unit (USB charger cable) also supplied. If you attempt to recharge the battery with any other LiFePO4 battery charger or any other type of charger, this may result in serious damage. You can recharge the rechargeable battery with the respective USB charger cable from a computer USB port (USB 3.0) or a USB power supply unit with at least 1A output voltage:
• Connect the USB charger cable with the USB port of a computer 1. The LED on the USB charger cable lights green and indicates that the charger is correctly connected to the computer. When you connect an empty rechargeable battery, the LED on the USB charger cable goes off and indicates that the battery is being charged 2. The USB charger cable is so designed that reversed polarity is not possible.
• It lasts about 80 minutes to recharge a discharged (NOT a deep-discharged) battery. When the battery is fully charged, the LED display on the USB charger cable lights green again.
Always recharge the battery after use to prevent it from becoming deeply discharged. After use, the battery must be allowed to cool down for at least 20 minutes before it can be fully recharged. Failure to observe this pause may damage the battery. Recharge the battery occasionally (suggested every 2–3 months). Failure to treat the battery as described above can lead to its becoming defective.
Installing the rechargeable battery -
Using a screwdriver, remove the cover of the battery compartment in the Carrera RC car. Connect the end of the cable from the Carrera RC vehicle with the charged battery. Put the battery in place. Replace the compartment cover using a screwdriver.
Inserting the batteries -
Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver and insert the batteries into the remote control. Please keep in mind the correct polarity. Different types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to be mixed. After having closed the compartment you can check all functions of the remote control with the help of the power switch on the front. With the power switch turned ON and proper functioning, the top center LED on the remote control will light up red.
Now you can drive the car
Bonding vehicle and controller
The Carrera RC car and the remote control are bound to a factory setting. -
1. Switch the car ON at the ON/OFF switch.
-
The LED on top of the car will flash rhythmically.
-
2. Switch on the controller. The LED on top of the controller will flash rhythmically.
After a few seconds, the LEDs on the car and on the controller will light continuously, meaning the bind has been made.
Adjusting the steering -
If when using the Carrera RC vehicle, it starts to pull to right or left, it can be corrected to run straight as follows.
• Bond vehicle and controller as described in sections 5 6 7.
• Slide the ON/OFF switch fully to the right to the position “TRIM”. Adjusting mode is active as soon as the controller LED flashes.
• Straight running can be adjusted with the controller wheel by turning it to the right or left.
• Slide the ON/OFF switch back to the position “ON”.
Let’s practice! -
Warning! This vehicle reaches speeds up to 18 – 20 km/h (11 – 13 mph). Practice on an empty surface of at least 4 x 5 meters (13.12’ x 16.4’). When first starting, be very careful when operating the gas pedal.
-
Now it’s time to practice! Set up a Carrera RC vehicle racing track in a large empty area, using corner posts, 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 first battery to the second battery, you must stop running 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.
• Within approx. After 30 minutes of 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 reverse order.
• After use, remove or disconnect the battery. Always recharge the battery after use to prevent it from becoming deep discharged. After use, the battery must be allowed to cool down for at least 20 minutes before it can be fully recharged.
• Always keep the rechargeable battery stored outside the vehicle.
• Clean the Carrera RC car after use.
Controller functions – DIGITAL PROPORTIONAL -

surface.
Cause: The battery or rechargeable battery in the transmitter or model is
too weak.
Solution: Insert a new battery or recharged battery.
Cause The remote control is possibly not correctly frequency bound with
the receiver on the model.
Solution: Carry out a frequency bind between the model and the remote
control as described in “Now you can drive the car”.
Cause: Within approx. After 30 minutes of inactivity, the controller and
vehicle switch off automatically.
Solution: To restart, switch the ON/OFF switch on both controller &
vehicle to OFF and then back to ON.
Cause: The vehicle is very warm. Solution: Switch both car and controller
off and allow the car to cool down for about 30 minutes.
Cause: The overheat protection has caused the car’s motor to cut out due
to excess temperature.
