For 2,4 GHz D/P models
Please follow this start-up sequence:
1) Switch on the transmitter
2) Then switch on the model
When switching off after driving or flying, please follow the sequence in reverse.
For 27 MHz models
Please check whether the transmitter antenna is faulty or not fully extended. If there is another RC model nearby, make sure it is not using the same frequency. If it is, please switch frequencies.
Check that the antenna on the controller is screwed in tightly as far as it will go. Then fully extend the antenna. Use the transparent antenna tube included in the packaging for the vehicle antenna (depending on the model).
Open the vehicle chassis and clean dust and hair from the axles. Also apply one drop of oil (resin-free and acid-free lubricant) to the axles.
If, during operation, you find that the Carrera RC 2,4 GHz digital proportional vehicle moves forward or backward on its own, you can bring it to a stop as follows:
1) Turn the vehicle over so that the wheels are in the air.
2) First, switch on the vehicle using the ON/OFF switch. The LED on top of the vehicle flashes rhythmically. Switch on the controller. The LED on the controller flashes rhythmically. After a few seconds, the LEDs on the vehicle and controller stay lit continuously. Pairing is now complete.
3) Press the button on the upper right side of the controller for about two seconds. Adjustment mode is active as soon as the controller LED flashes. (See image)
4) Forward or backward movement can be brought to a stop using the left joystick.
5) To complete the adjustment, press the button on the upper right side of the controller again for about two seconds—the LED will now stay lit continuously.
Proceed as follows if your 2,4 GHz DIGITAL PROPORTIONAL model pulls to the right or left:
1) Turn the vehicle over so that the wheels are in the air.
2) First, switch on the vehicle using the ON/OFF switch. The LED on top of the vehicle flashes rhythmically. Then switch on the controller. The LED on the controller flashes rhythmically. After a few seconds, the LEDs on the vehicle and controller stay lit. Binding is complete.

Yes, it is recommended that you clean the Carrera RC vehicle after driving to ensure smooth operation. Please make sure not to use any harsh solvents.
For 2,4 GHz Digital Proportional models:
The Carrera RC vehicle and controller are bound at the factory. If there are communication problems between the Carrera RC vehicle and the controller at first, please bind them again. Pressing the bind button on the underside of the chassis will bind the Carrera RC vehicle and controller again. The bind button must be held down for at least 3 seconds. Please note that both the controller and the Carrera RC vehicle must be switched on using the ON/OFF switch.
For 27 MHz models:
Make sure no one else in your driving area is using the same frequency. To avoid this and ensure that the Carrera RC vehicle can be controlled by the controller, make sure the same frequency (A/B/C) is set on both the vehicle and the controller. The vehicle’s frequency switch is located in the battery compartment; the controller’s frequency switch is on its top. Using different channels allows you to drive 3 vehicles at the same time.
The controller antenna should be fully extended. Then switch on the Carrera RC vehicle using the ON/OFF switch. The Carrera RC vehicle has two speeds. The ON/OFF switch can also be used to switch to training or indoor mode.
For 2,4 GHz Servo Tronic models:
First switch on the vehicle. The LED on top of the vehicle will then flash rhythmically. Next, you can switch on the controller. Its LED will also flash rhythmically for a few seconds. Once the vehicle and controller are paired, the status LEDs on both the vehicle and controller will remain lit.
Adjusting the steering: If you find that the Carrera RC vehicle pulls to the right or left while in use, you can correct its course using the adjustment switch on the underside of the vehicle.
Follow these steps to correctly pair your Red Fibre® Carrera® Profi® (370183002/370183001) vehicle with the controller:
1) First, switch on the vehicle
2) Then switch on the controller. Once the LEDs on the vehicle and controller remain steadily lit, pairing is complete.
You can find all spare parts and accessories for the various Profi RC models in our online store by entering your model’s item number or name in the search field. All compatible spare parts are listed on the vehicle’s product details page.
The exploded-view diagram makes it quick and easy to identify individual parts. Exploded-view diagrams are available for Profi models only.
To operate your Carrera Profi RC vehicle, first switch it on using the ON/OFF switch. The LED on the vehicle will flash rhythmically. Then switch on the controller. After a few seconds, the LEDs on the vehicle and controller will remain lit. Pairing is complete.
The ON/OFF switch is on the left side of the vehicle, right next to the battery compartment.
A sticker showing the correct frequency is located on the back of the controller and on the vehicle near the drive axle.
Let the water drain off and dry your boat thoroughly after use. Clean your boat with ordinary tap water. The water sensor contacts should be treated regularly with vinegar cleaner to prevent corrosion. Make sure the vinegar cleaner does not come into contact with the propeller or rudder. This could cause permanent damage.
How to drain your boat properly:
Falshöft Coast Guard Boat (301001/301005)
After each use, please open the two drain plugs at the bow and stern and drain any condensation that has formed. Make sure to put the drain plugs back into their designated openings before each use.
Ferrari Arno XI Boat (300005)
There is a drain plug at the stern. Open it after each use to drain the condensation. Make sure to put the drain plug back into its designated opening before each use.
Power Wave (300001)
On the underside of the boat, you will find the drain button between the propeller and the sensor. Press it in with a blunt object until the condensation has drained out of the boat. The drain button is spring-loaded and will automatically return to its original position when you stop pressing it.
Please note that, for safety reasons, pairing is only possible in water. When starting up, switch on the controller first, then the boat. After use, follow the reverse order: switch off the boat first, then the controller.
Our boats are suitable for use in fresh water with normal to moderate waves.
If your boat does come into contact with dirty or salt water, it must be thoroughly cleaned afterward with ordinary tap water.
When your boat or vehicle’s battery is connected correctly and charging normally, the red LED light stays on. When the battery is fully charged, the red LED light turns green. The battery can then be removed and installed in the vehicle or boat.
If your Micro Quadrocopter (502002) won’t take off even though the battery is fully charged, please check that the 4 rotor blades are arranged correctly. The letters are marked on top of the rotor blades. Make sure the A/D rotor blades and the B/C rotor blades are in the correct positions.
Before your first flight, please check whether model aircraft are subject to a legal insurance requirement in your country. For more information, contact the German Model Flying Association. You must not use your model aircraft to:
