Racing Two or More Cars Together Radio-controlled cars use specific frequencies to operate. Cars with different frequencies can race together. Cars with the same frequency cannot. The following chart shows the frequencies available for this car. If you buy more than one car and you plan to race them, be sure the sticker (showing the band number) on each car is a different color to ensure that they use different frequencies. Sticker Color/ |. Transmitter Car ____ Band Number Frequency (MHz) Frequency (MHz) Brown (1) _ [ 26.995 26.540 Orange (3) _ _ 27.095 26.640 Yellow (4) _| 27.145 26.690 Battery Notes Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury batteries. Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities. If you do not plan to use the car for several days, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts. Caution Driving the Car This car can reach much higher speeds than most other radio-controlled cars. Be careful to avoid high-impact collisions with people and objects. Do not drive the car through puddles or in the rain, sand, or snow. Doing so can damage the car. To extend the cars life, rest the car for 20 minutes after every 15 minutes of continuous use. If the car gets stuck under on object, immediately set ON/OFF on the transmitter to OFF, then retrieve the car. Running your car continuously for long periods generates high heat levels. Heat causes wear and tear o the motor. To help keep heat levels down, when your cars battery pack runs down, let the car cool for at least 10 minutes before installing a new or newly charged battery pack.
