  • The product is suitable for children under 14 years under the supervision of an adult.
  • Dispose of the packaging material, as this could become a hazard for children.
  • Check with your insurance company whether the operation of a radio-controlled model falls under the insurance cover.
  • If you do not have any experience in controlling RC models, first get familiar with the responses to the control commands on the standing model. If necessary, contact an experienced model pilot or rc club.
  • Before commissioning, check the remote control system and the model for proper operation and visible damage, such as Defective plug connections or damaged cables. All moving parts must work easily, but without bearing.
  • Check that all screw and plug connections, wheel nuts, and electrical contacts are secure, as these can be loosened or loosened during transport, during driving, or during minor accidents.
  • Fasten long cables so that they can not get into moving / rotating parts. Cables must also not be kinked.
  • Please observe the separate operating instructions for possible accessories.

Be sure to jack up the model during the first start-up, so that the wheels can rotate freely and you can make adjustments to the transmitter easily if necessary.

Transmitter
Follow the power-up sequence:

  1. Throttle/brake lever in a neutral position
  2. Steering lever in a neutral position
  3. Turn on the transmitter first, then turn on the model.
    Otherwise, it can lead to unpredictable reactions of the model!
  • For starting, put the model down in a way that the wheels and drive can turn freely.
  • Check the frequency reach of your transmitter before you start the model.
  • Check the servo reaction to the transmitter signals on the standing model.
  • Ensure that the batteries of the transmitter and receiver are fully loaded!
  • Weak batteries reduce the transmitter reach and lead to errors in signal transmission to the receiver. Therefore the model does not react correctly to the transmitter. End the running immediately and exchange the batteries for new ones or charge the batteries
  • Do not drive near high-voltage lines or radio masts or during a storm. Electric fields and atmospheric disruptions can influence the signal of your transmitter.
  • After running, turn off the model first and then turn off the transmitter.
  • Due to safety- and admission reasons (CE), unauthorized repairing attempts as well as the conversion or changing of the system are prohibited. Otherwise, the admission of the transmitter system will expire.

Driving
Do not drive when your reaction skills are limited (e.g. due to fatigue, or the influence of drugs or alcohol). Faulty reactions can cause serious personal injury and property damage. Do also not drive if you should have only the slightest doubts about the perfect technical state of your model or transmitter system.

  • Only connect the drive motor after the reception system has been completely installed, as otherwise, the drive motor may suddenly start unintentionally.
  • Always keep direct visual contact with the model.
  • Only operate the model on private property or on designated sites. Observe the conditions and regulations for the terrain.
  • When operating a model, always ensure that body parts or objects are never in the danger zone of motors or rotating parts.
  • Regularly check all screw connections and fastenings, as these can loosen during operation.
  • Immediately stop operating your model in the event of a fault and eliminate the cause of the malfunction before continuing to use the model.
  • Avoid driving at low outside temperatures, as this will reduce the battery capacity and cause the plastic of the body to lose its elasticity and splinter easily.
  • Do not expose your model or remote control system to direct sunlight, moisture, heavy dirt, or high heat/cold for extended periods of time.
  • Only use original spare parts.c

Let the model cool down for at least 15 minutes after every battery usage!

Do Not Drive:

  • In gatherings of people.
  • In the direction of persons or animals.
  • In nature reserves or near animals.
  • At night or in living rooms.
  • Near high-voltage lines or radio masts or during a storm. Electric fields and atmospheric disruptions can influence the signal of your transmitter.
  • When raining or on moist terrain, otherwise the electronic parts could get damaged.
  • Please note that RC models must not be operated on terrain with public passenger and motor transport.

Battery And Charger
Please only use special RC chargers and batteries. Seek advice in a modeling shop. Never store your batteries in a fully loaded condition.

  • Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the reach of children and pets, as they can inadvertently swallow the batteries/accumulators. In this case, immediately consult a doctor!
  • Expired or damaged batteries can cause burns in contact. If skin or eyes get in contact with the electrolyte, rinse immediately with clean water and seek medical attention. Use suitable protective gloves when disposing of the defective battery.
  • If you notice any signs of smell, discoloration, excessive heating or deformation of the battery, disconnect the battery immediately from the charger or the consumer. Dispose of the battery!
  • Conventional alkaline batteries (1.5V) are intended for single use only and must then be properly disposed of.
  • Dispose of empty batteries or defective batteries environmentally correctly at the authorized collection points. Disposal of household waste is prohibited!
  • Batteries must not become moist or wet. Also, avoid the formation of condensation water.
  • Never expose the batteries, the charger or the model to adverse environmental conditions (eg wetness, high or low ambient temperature, sources of ignition or open fire, dust, vapors, solvents)!
  • Also, avoid strong contamination as well as excessive mechanical stress on the battery, never tug on the connection cables!
  • Never mix batteries and rechargeable batteries in one unit at the same time! Use only batteries or only rechargeable batteries.
  • If no brand-new batteries are used for the power supply of the transmitter, pay attention to a sufficient remaining capacity (battery tester).
  • When using rechargeable batteries instead of batteries, the lower voltage (batteries = 1.5V, rechargeable batteries = 1.2V) and the lower capacity of rechargeable batteries must be used with a reduction in the operating time and so on. Also with range problems.
  • Always replace the complete set of batteries, not just individual cells. Always use batteries of the same type and manufacturer.
  • Do not mix batteries with different charge levels. The weaker batteries/rechargeable batteries with lower capacity could be deep-discharged and leak.
  • When inserting batteries or rechargeable batteries into the battery holder, ensure correct polarity.
  • Incorrect polarity will damage not only your model but also the battery. Batteries/accumulators must never be short-circuited, damaged, disassembled, or thrown into an open fire.
  • For safety reasons, LiPo batteries have a minimum discharge voltage that should not be fallen short of. The electronic speed controller is equipped with a built-in low voltage detection that gives the driver a warning signal when LiPo batteries have reached their minimum voltage (discharge voltage). It is the driver‘s responsibility to stop driving immediately to prevent the battery from discharging below the safety limit of its minimum voltage.
  • The low voltage detection on the speed controller is only one part of the extensive features for the safe operation of LiPo batteries in your model. It is extremely important that you, the user, also follow all battery and charger manufacturer instructions for safe charging, operation, and storage. Make sure you understand how to use your LiPo batteries. If you have any questions about the use of LiPo batteries, please contact your local dealer or the battery manufacturer. As a reminder, all batteries should be recycled at the end of their life.

There is a risk of fire and explosion!
Disconnect the battery immediately from the charger when the battery is hot!
If the model is not used for a long time, remove the inserted batteries or rechargeable batteries from the remote control unit and from the model in order to avoid damage from discharged / deep discharged batteries.

Notes On Charging

  • Take a look on the separate manual with the charging instruction for the charger and the instructions of the battery manufacturer.
  • Only charge suitable batteries, conventional alkaline batteries must not be charged. There is a risk of explosion.
  • Only charge batteries with the same design type and capacity. Also, ensure correct polarity for all electrical connections while connecting the batteries to a charger.
  • Only charge batteries under supervision, on a flame retardant surface, and ensure a proper distance to flammable surfaces or objects.
  • Regularly check the battery‘s temperature during the charging process.
  • Excessive heating of the battery (> 50 ° C) can damage it. Then decrease the charging current.
  • Already loaded or not fully unloaded batteries must not be connected and charged.
  • Never charge/discharge damaged, leaked or deformed batteries. There is a risk of fire and/or explosion!
  • After usage, disconnect the battery and remove it from the model.

Charge the battery/ies immediately before use. Never charge them:

  • in the model
  • in your motor vehicle
  • unattended
  • with chargers that are not suitable
  • Charge battery only on fireproof surfaces

WARNING

  • Let the model cool down sufficiently between two trips. This is especially important if you are using high-capacity batteries that will allow the model to run longer. Monitoring the temperature will prolong the life of the batteries and the motor.
  • Do not continue to drive your model with weakly charged batteries to avoid losing control of the vehicle. Signs of a low battery are slow operation, sluggish servos (slow return to the center position), or electronic speed control shutting down due to low voltage detection.
  • Do not drive your model at night, on public roads, or in large crowds. – Stop accelerating if the model is stuck on an object. Move the object out of the way before continuing. Do not attempt to pull or push objects with the model.
  • Because your model is radio-controlled, it is subject to radio interference from many sources beyond your control. Radio interference can cause temporary loss of radio control. Therefore, always keep a safe distance on all sides around your model to avoid collisions.
  • Use common sense whenever you drive your model. Intentionally driving in a violent and rough manner will only result in poor performance- mance and defective parts. Take care of your model so that you will have fun with it for a very long time.
  • High-performance vehicles generate small vibrations that can cause bolts to come loose over time. Check the lug nuts and other bolts on your vehicle regularly to ensure that all bolts are always tight.
  • On the subject of driving time is very much affected by the type and condition of the battery used. The milliampere-hour (mAH) rating of the battery determines how big its „tank“ is. A 3.000 mAh battery pack will theoretically last twice as long as a short 1.500 mAh pack. However, due to the many different types of batteries available and the methods by which they can be charged, it is impossible to give an exact ride time for your model. Another important factor that affects the ride time is also the way the model is ridden. Ride time may be reduced if the model is repeatedly accelerated from stop to top speed and during repeated hard acceleration.
  • Read and follow all battery and charger manufacturer‘s maintenance and care instructions.
  • Keep the motor and controller cool. Provide adequate ventilation at the cooling plates of the electronic speed controller.
  • Use the correct low-voltage detection setting for your battery! Never use LiPo batteries if the low voltage detection is deactivated! – Maintenance of your model: Make sure there is no dirt or damaged parts blocking the drive train. Keep the motor clean.

General Safety Notes

  • Check regularly that all screws are firmly seated, as they can be released by impacts and vibrations.
  • Tires should not show cracks or damage.
  • Check the connections for correct contact and damage.

Water Resistant
The MONSTER Warren is designed so that the motor, regulator and servo are splash-proof, ie can be operated under humid conditions. Splash-proofed means only that a device can withstand water sprays, but it must not be immersed in water, or exposed to excessive humidity or strong rain for a long time. The vehicle must never be immersed completely in the water. Driving in wet conditions also requires additional maintenance. The transmitter is not splashproof. Please protect it from rain and water. After driving, remove all water and dirt from the vehicle and completely dry the vehicle. Ball bearings, metal parts and swing pins must be lubricated after driving in a humid environment.

Product Information

The model is a four-wheel drive RC car chassis with a built-in brushed electric motor and 2.4 GHz transmitter (controller/receiver unit) and a steering servo.
The RC model is pre-assembled, ready for use, and comes with a 4-channel remote control transmitter.
The model is intended for both indoor and outdoor use.
The chassis is light and torsion-resistant. The encapsulation protects the gearbox from dirt and stones.
The drive is via the motor pinion on a gear. From here, each engages a Cardan shaft made of metal in the encapsulated differential of the rear axle and thus causes the all-wheel drive. The differential provides for the speed compensation between the inner and outer wheel and has bevel gears.
A servo saver also protects the servo against the heavy impact on the wheels. With the 2.4GHz 4-channel remote control system, you have a radio remote control system that is ideally suited for model cars and model ships. The proportional function channels allow remote control of 2 control functions independently of each other. The 2.4 GHz transmitter and the receiver tuned to it do not work on a frequency fixed by the transmitter and receiver quartz. The transmitter and receiver scan the frequency band for an available, free frequency each time it is switched on, and then the radio connection is established.

Intended Use
The product is designed exclusively for private use in the model building sector and with the associated operating times. This product is not approved for commercial or industrial use as well as for continuous operation. Improper use can endanger persons and damage the product and the hazards involved, such as Loss of control over the model, short circuit, fire, electric shock, etc. lead.

Make The Model Ready For Use

A) Commissioning the transmitter: controls and functions of the transmitter
Steering wheel for the steering function
Depending on the direction of rotation of the steering wheel, the servo arm of the connected steering servo moves to the right or left. About the appropriate linkages so the wheels are taken to the right or left.
Control lever for driving function
Hold the transmitter in your hand and use your forefinger to pull the throttle towards you, the car will move forward. Push the throttle forward, the car brakes and then moves backward (at 2nd press).
The control LED indicates the switch-on status of the transmitter.
The transmitter is switched on or off with the on / off switch.
Trimming steering (ST TRIM)
If your model does not go straight in the neutral position, use the trim to set the directional stability.
Trim gas (TH D / R)
If your model begins to drive independently in the neutral position, use the trim to set the neutral point.

B ) Commissioning the model
The model is already ready to drive and can be put into operation directly after charging the transmitter batteries and the driving battery. Nevertheless, please check all screws, etc. for a firm fit. Carry out a functional check before every ride. The drive and control components are mounted and wired, the binding between transmitter and receiver takes place automatically, each time it is switched on. If the binding between sender and model does not take place, you have to do it manually. To do this, unscrew the upper deck so that the receiver is exposed. Press the receiver‘s binding button, turning on the power to the controller. Now switch on the remote control and press the steering wheel (keep the binding button pressed during the entire process). The binding is now complete. The drive battery has to be inserted at the bottom of the model. To do this, remove the screw of the battery compartment cover and remove it. The compartment can now be opened and the battery inserted. Close the compartment again. After driving, the battery should always be removed from the model!

C) Charging the battery

  • ALWAYS charge the battery outside of the model to avoid overheating while charging, always use a fireproof pad!
  • The charge connection cable of the drive battery is equipped with a reverse polarity-protected plug system.
  • Never disconnect the plug connection by pulling on the cables, always pull on the plug.
  • Never charge the battery unattended!
  • Plug the charger into the power supply.
  • The LED on the charging indicator light turns green.
  • Now connect the battery to the charger.
  • The LED now lights red, the battery is charging.
  • When the LED starts to glow green, the battery is fully charged.
  • Disconnect the battery from the charger.
  • Disconnect the charger from the power supply.
  • Maximum charging time 3-5 hours.
  • Never charge unattended (eg „overnight“)!

CAUTION!
Before the battery can be used again after charging it must be completely cooled.

Insert the charged driving battery into the model:

  • Loosen the sapwood pin and open it.
  • Place the battery pack on the battery holder. For the tight fit of the battery, you may need to put some sponge rubber in the battery tray.
  • Close the battery compartment again, make sure that no cables are pinched, and secure it with the cotter pin.
  • If the model is not used, always unplug the battery and remove it from the model!
  • Use only suitable batteries!

D) Visual inspection of the model

  • Are the wheel nuts and bolted connections tight?
  • Is the servo control lever firmly seated on the servo shaft?
  • Is the drive battery charged and fixed in the holder?
  • Are the rotating and moving parts smooth?
  • Are the cables laid and secured so that they can not get into moving parts?
  • Are the spring preload screw rings set the same on both sides of an axle?

E) Check the range of the remote control transmitter and the control functions
CAUTION!
Never run the model with a faulty working transmitter system!

Range of the transmitter
To obtain secured control over the model, check the function and range of the transmitter system before the first start and after every crash.
For this, it is sufficient to test the function of the steering servo. Should the controller not work properly, check the charging status of the transmitter and receiver batteries as well and re-bind the transmitter and receiver.

  • Park the model so that the wheels hang freely in the air. Due to the friction of the tires on the ground, the steering would react too slowly in the state.
  • Remove about 50m from the jacked-up model.
  • Perform the test of the steering function as follows:
  1. Move the steering wheel and trim to neutral.
  2. Turn on the transmitter.
  3. Connect the battery to the speed controller and switch on the receiver.
  4. Turn the steering wheel to the right and left. The wheels of the model must also turn to the right and left. If the razors strike in the opposite direction, move the reverse switch for the steering function on the transmitter to the other position.
  5. When you release the steering wheel, the wheels must turn back to the straight-ahead position.
  6. If the wheels in the neutral position of the steering wheel do not remain exactly straight ahead, correct the position on the trim control for the steering function.
  7. The steering wheel end stops should bring the end stops right / left of the steering!

Cruise control

  1. Put the throttle/brake lever in a neutral position.
  2. The engine must not start in the neutral position of the remote control lever!
  3. If necessary, bring the motor to a standstill with the trim on the transmitter.
  4. Press the throttle/brake lever on the remote control forward.
  5. The rotational speed of the motor should change steplessly.
  6. Now move the remote control lever backward to check the brake and reverse gear.
  7. If the wheels are turning in the wrong direction, correct the direction of travel by repositioning the motor cables.

Driving

Observe the safety instructions for driving in this manual!
Familiarize yourself with the handling of the model step by step.

  • Stand behind the model and steer it away from you first. The reaction of the model to the steering will be the same as if you yourself have the steering wheel in your hands.
  • Leave the model drive towards you. The reaction direction is now mirrored in the control direction.
  • Now start with simple driving exercises by driving circles or an „eight“ as evenly as possible.
  • Use light, unattached pylons as boundaries and reversal markers to stake out a course with changing directions to train to corner.
  • Gradually increase the driving speed and observe the driving behavior. Always keep direct visual contact with the model.

Disposing of exhausted batteries

The following instructions are addressed to those who use batteries or products with built-in batteries and do not resell them in the delivered condition.

  1. Exhausted batteries must never be thrown into the household waste! You are legally required to return the exhausted batteries so that correct disposal can be guaranteed.
    You can hand them over at local collecting points or directly in the shop. As a retailer for batteries, we are required to take them back. Our take-back obligation for exhausted batteries is limited to batteries that were/are new batteries in our range. Old batteries of the type named above can therefore be returned to us either sufficiently postage paid or they can be delivered free of charge directly at our dispatch warehouse at the following address: MONSTER, Wirtschaftspark 9, AT-8530 Deutschlandsberg.

  2. Meaning of battery symbols
    Batteries are characterized by the symbol of a crossed waste bin (see below). This symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. For batteries that contain more than 0,0005 percent of Quicksilver, more than 0,002 percent Cadmium or more than 0,004 percent lead, the chemical name of the used harmful substance can be found under the waste bin symbol – „Cd“ stands for Cadmium, „Pb“ for Lead and Hg“ for Quicksilver.

  3. Starter Batteries
    The following special features apply when it comes to buying starter batteries: The seller is acc. § 10 BattG obliges a final deposit of € 7.50 including VAT if the end-user does not return the used starter battery to the seller at the time of the purchase of the new starter battery. The customer receives a pawn coupon when purchasing a starter battery. If the old starter battery is returned to a return point set up by the public waste disposal authority, the customer has to confirm the disposal by means of a stamp and a signature. Subsequently, the customer has the possibility to return this confirmation to the seller, with the identification of his customer number for the refund of the deposit. Alternatively, the customer can also hand over his old starter battery together with the Pfandschein to the reimbursement of the deposit directly at the seller. (Due to the Dangerous Goods Ordinance the dispatch of the old battery to the seller is not permitted.)
