cle to direct sunlight. To avoid the
electronics in the car overheating, when
temperatures are above 35 ° C, regular
short pauses in operation are essential.
Never subject the Carrera car to re-
G
peated changes of load – that means
continuously reversing it.
Always place the car on the floor by
H
hand. Never throw the car on the
floor from a standing position.
Avoid jumping from jumps or ramps

To avoid malfunctions to the control
L
system resulting in uncontrolled op-
eration of the Carrera RC vehicle, check
that the controller batteries and the re-
chargeable batteries in the vehicle have
sufficient charge.
Supply terminals are not to be short-cir-
cuited.
The Carrera RC vehicle must be in-

Recharging the LiPo
rechargeable battery
Make sure you only charge the LiPo re-
chargeable battery supplied with the LiPo
charging unit also supplied (USB cable).
In case you try to charge the rechargeable
battery with a different LiPo battery charg-
er or any other battery charger, this might
cause serious damages. Please carefully
read the previous chapter about warnings
and guidelines on the usage of recharge-
able batteries before proceeding.
The rechargeable battery fitted in the car
with its USB charging cable can be
charged from a USB port on a computer:

the USB port of a computer. The LED on
the USB charger cable lights green indi-
cating that the charger unit is correctly
connected to the
If you plug in a car with a discharged
battery, the LED on the USB charging
cable lights up red and shows that the
car battery is being charged. The USB
charging cable and the charging socket
on the car are designed to make incor-
rect connection impossible.
It takes about 40 minutes to recharge a
•
discharged battery (but NOT a deep-
discharged one). When the battery is
fully charged, the LED display in the
USB charging cable lights up green
again.
Note: When supplied, the lipo-battery
is already partially charged so the first
charging cycle may well take less
time.
It is essential to follow the connection
sequence given above! If you have the
charger cable only connected to the
car, and not to a source of electricity, a
green LED display indicates that there
is still power in the battery. The green
LED display does not necessarily indi-
cate the battery is still adequately
charged.
While charging, the power switch
must be in the "OFF" position.
Inserting the batteries in the controller
Open the battery compartment with a screwdriver and in-

sert the batteries in 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 com-
partment 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 con-
trol will light up red.
Now you can drive the car
The Carrera RC car and the remote control are bound as a factory
setting.
1. Switch the car ON at the ON/OFF switch. The LED on

bottom 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.

Let's practise!
CAUTION! This vehicle reaches speeds up to 15 km/h
6
(9 mph). Practice on an empty surface at least 4 metres
(13.1') square. When first starting, be very careful when oper-
ating the gas pedal.
Now it's time to practise! Set up a Carrera RC vehicle racing

track in a large empty area, using cornerposts, 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.
• 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. 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 the reverse order.
• Always recharge the battery after use to prevent its be-
coming deep discharged. After use, the battery must be
allowed to cool down for at least 20 minutes before it can
be fully recharged.
• Clean the Carrera RC car after use.

You can use the joysticks to carry out precise steering and
driving manoeuvres.
Joystick left and right: Forwards and backwards with steady
movement of left and right joysticks at the same time.
Steer the car to the right by pushing the left-hand joystick forwards
and releasing it again.
Flip action stunts

The flip can be triggered by moving both joysticks quickly
and simultaneously in opposite directions either upwards or down-
wards to the stop, and the car turns a somersault.
360 ° turn

By moving both joysticks and steadily up and down in oppo-
site directions the vehicle can be made to rotate 360 ° on the spot.
Thanks to 2.4 GHz technology, up to 16 cars can be run

together on one race-track. This is possible even without
harmonising frequencies between the racing drivers.
