+ For successful operation, the vehicle switch and the transmitter switch must be set to the same Multichannel setting. When you're driving by yourself, you can set the switches to any of the 3 Multichannel settings (as long as they match) When you want to race head-to-head, just make sure that each driver (up to 8 drivers total) has a vehicle and transmitter set to @ different Multi channel setting
& To operate your vehicle, just turn the vehicle ON; then set the transmitter switch to the desired Multichannel setting. Push any transmitter control and you will be able to run and control your vehicle You must be racing against another Hot Wheels R/C Multichannel-equipped vehicle for this feature to work.

quency as your vehicle, may interfere with operation of your vehicle. lf you are racing against a non-
Multichannel vehicle, make sure that vehicle operates on a frequency different from yours.
% If you need to change the Multichannel setting, first, make sure that your vehicle is turned OFF. Change the switch position as desired, making sure to change bath the transmitter AND the vehicle switches. Then turn your vehicle back ON for more racing action. NOTE:

Its important to give your FlashFire vehicle just enough power as it leaves the ramp. Too much power and your front end wil rise abruptly, too little and you'l land on the front wheels. When you do land, make sure all four wheels are on the ground before you accelerate. If you don't you may cause a Wheelie, which may look really cool, but you'll lose time. The FlashFire was meant to fly high and land soft but just because you can doesnt mean you should especially if you're ina rave. Remember, the more time your FlashFire spends in the air, the less time you'll have to accelerate. So stay low to win bigh Its best to steer clear of potentially damaging terrains like dry river beds where large rocks are often found, water and ponds that can destroy inner circuitry, tall grasslands where reeds can entangle your vehicle and gravel and sand that can put a lot of stress on a motor (think spinning tires with zero movement), Build @ cross-country racetrack using natural ditches and mod-
erately rocky terrain. Add your own obstacles, ike logs, racks and barrier flags! Winners are usually determined by a who fin-
ishes first system or a points/ penalty system. Examples of penalties may be leaving the track or forcing someone else off it. Other examples would be having to unflip your flipped-over car. You could give away points for perfect landings or tough terrain negotiation without bumping into a single obstacle. The bottom line is, you can make up your own rules and have a blast doing it When your vehicle starts to lose power, it may lose functions or performance. It's time for a recharge. For best stunt per-
formance, always start with a fully-charged battery Your vehicle's running ime may change depending on yaur drivin fic inivterarde cay elect our veticles pede Interference can be caused by other R/C vehicles running an frequency, electrical wires, large buildings, CB radios or other wireless gear. Try to stay away from these!
