Safety Precautions <br />
Please read all of the instructions and familiarize yourself with the product and its controls before operation.<br />
1. This product is not a toy. It is a high performance model car therefore it is important to familiarize yourself with the model,<br />
its manual, and its construction before assembly or operation. Adult supervision is necessary for children operating this<br />
model.<br />
2. Always keep this instruction manual on hand during assembly and for operating reference.<br />
3. Do not use a power screwdriver to install screws into plastic parts. A power screwdriver’s high rotation speed can heat<br />
up the screw being installed which can result in some melting of the plastic parts or stripped threads.<br />
4. For best performance, it is important to make sure all the moving parts can move freely without binding.<br />
5. This product, its parts, and its assembly tools can be harmful to your health. Always exercise extreme caution when<br />
assembling and operating this product. Keep away from any high speed rotating parts during operation.<br />
