Battery warnings
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Lithium polymer batteries are much more volatile than the alkaline, NiCd
and NiMH batteries also used in RC. All instructions and warnings must be
followed exactly to
avoid property damage and/or personal injury, as mishandling LiPo batteries
can cause fires.
By handling, charging or using the supplied battery, you assume all risks
associated with LiPo batteries. If you do not agree with these terms, please
return your complete product in new, unused condition to the place of purchase
immediately. You must read the following safety instructions and warnings
before handling, charging or using the LiPo battery:
- Charge the LiPo battery in a safe area away from flammable materials.
- Do not be out of reach during the charging process, but monitor the process all the time to be able to react immediately to any problems that may occur.
- After flying/discharging the battery, you must cool it to ambient/room temperature before recharging. It is also NOT recommended to fully discharge the battery. (LiPo batteries have no memory and it is safe to charge partially discharged batteries if you use an appropriate charger and settings).
- To charge the battery, use only the supplied charger or an appropriately compatible LiPo charger. Failure to do so may result in a fire, which may cause property damage and/or personal injury. DO NOT use a NiCd or NiMH charger to charge a LiPo battery.
- If at any time during charging or discharging the battery begins to swell or bloat, stop the process immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect the battery, then place it in a safe, open area away from flammable materials and observe it for at least 15 minutes. If you continue to charge or discharge a battery that is even a little bloated, it can cause a fire. A battery that has already become severely inflated must be removed from service completely.
- Store the battery partially charged (approximately 50% charge/385 V per cell), at room tem-perature (approximately 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit [F]), and in a dry location for best results.
- When transporting or temporarily storing the battery, the temperature should be between 40 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. If possible, do not store the battery or model in a hot car or in direct sunlight. Otherwise, a fire may occur.
- Do not discharge the LiPo flight battery too much. Discharging the battery to a voltage that is too low can damage the battery, resulting in reduced performance and flight time or complete battery failure.
- LiPo cells should not be discharged below 3.0 V per cell under load. In the case of the 2-cell/ 2S 7.4V LiPo battery used to power the aircraft, do not allow the battery to drop below 6.0V during flight. The included controller has a „soft“ low voltage cutoff (LVC) that gently reduces the power to the motor (regardless of the power level set with the throttle) to let you know that the battery voltage is approaching the 6.0V minimum.
However, if you find that you need more than the usual amount of
throttle/power to fly or climb, you should land the model and disconnect the
battery immediately to avoid
over-discharge. Although it may be possible to continue flying the model after
soft LVC has occurred, this is NOT recommended. Continued discharge may result
in reaching „hard“ 5.0 V LVC, which may permanently damage the LiPo battery,
resulting in reduced performance and flight duration in subsequent bouts (or
complete battery failure, which is not covered under warranty). It is also not
recommended to approach soft LVC on every flight. Instead, keep an eye on the
battery/aircraft power level throughout the flight, and if at any time the
aircraft requires more throttle/power than usual to maintain cruise or climb
speed, you should land the aircraft and disconnect the LiPo battery
immediately.
Continually discharging the battery to soft LVC can still permanently damage
the battery, so it is best to use a timer or stopwatch to measure the duration
of your flights and stop flying at an appropriate time before soft LVC is
reached.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not leave the lipo battery connected to the controller unless you are ready
to fly. Do not leave the battery connected to the controller when not in use.
The lipo battery will be over-discharged by the low current consumed by the
controller. It can sometimes take a few hours or even a few days to discharge
the battery in this manner. However, will likely result in permanent damage or
total failure of the battery (which is not covered under warranty).
- Do not store the lipo flugakku fully charged!
For improved safety and longevity of the LiPo battery, it is best to store it only partially charged for an extended period of time. Storing the LiPo battery at about 50% charge (equivalent to about 3.85 V per cell) is usually best. However, you must carefully manage the charge time & use a voltmeter to achieve this. If you have the equipment and skills to reach the 50% charge level for storage, this is recommended. If not. just make sure you do not store the battery fully charged whenever possible. In fact, as long as the battery is stored at room temperature and no more than a couple of weeks before the next use, it may be best to to store it in a discharged state after the last flight (as long as the battery was not discharged too much during the last flight).
Box Content
We, as the manufacturer, provide you with a high quality, thoroughly tested kit, but ultimately the quality and fly ability of your finished model depends on how you build it; therefore, we cannot guarantee the performance of your finished model in any way.
Components Details
How-to-start Guide 
- Put in AA batteries (not included) to the transmitter, and then turn on the power switch.
- Switch on the power with a short press and off the power with a long press.
- To slowly drive forward, pull the throttle trigger slightly. Adjust the speed by pulling the trigger. Push the trigger to brake/reverse. Release the trigger to keep your vehicle still.
- Rotate the wheel counter-clockwise to turn left. Rotate the wheel clockwise to turn right.
- Use the steering trim dial to adjust the neutral position of the servo. Push the dial counter-clockwise to trim left, clockwise to trim right, until your vehicle tracks straight when steering at neutral position.
- lf the direction of travel on the rudder is opposite, slide the steering reverse switch to the other position. WARNING: Do NOT slide the throttle reverse switch unless you completely understand this function and it is necessary to switch. Otherwise serious damage may occur.
- Adjust the servo angle by turning the switch up or down. Turn the switch to upper position for arger servo angle. Turn the switch to lower position for smaller servo angle.
- After you finished, turn off ESC power, then unplug battery and put in a dry safe place to cool down before you use it again.
Running Tips:
- Run your vehicle on a flat surface, and keep your vehicle in sight.
- Always release the throttle trigger right away following a crash to prevent further damages.
- Do not run your vehicle in an area with people or property nearby.
- When you finish. always turn off your transmitter AFTER your vehicle power
- Always keep the battery unplug when you are not attempt to run the vehicle.
Charging warnings
The charger supplied with your vehicle is designed to safely balance and
charge the battery. CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed
exactly. Incorrect battery handling can result in fire, personal injury and/or
property damage.
- If you use the supplied battery, you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries.
- If at any time the battery begins to swell or bloat, stop the process immediately and disconnect. If you continue to charge/discharge a battery that is swelling or bloating, it may cause a fire.

Batteries are subject to an aging process that is highly dependent on the
usage profile.
Brushed motors have a limited life expectancy which is strongly dependent on
the load, therefore the vehicle must cool down after each battery charge until
all components have reached room temperature again.
