Yes, it is recommended Carrera that you clean the RC car after driving it to ensure it runs smoothly. Please be sure not to use any harsh solvents.

For 2.4 GHz Digital Proportional models,:
Carrera the RC car and the controller are factory-paired. If you Carrera experience communication problems between the RC car and the controller at the beginning , please perform a new pairing. Pressing the binding button on the underside of the chassis will Carrera rebind the RC car and the controller. The binding button must be held down for at least 3 seconds. Please note that both the controller and the Carrera RC car must be turned on via their ON/OFF switches during this process .
For 27 MHz models :
: Make sure that no one else in your driving area is using the same frequency. To avoid this and ensure that the CarreraRC vehicle can be controlled by the controller, make sure that 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 frequency switch on the controller is located on the top of the controller. Using different channels allows you to drive 3 vehicles at the same time.
The controller antenna should be fully extended. Then turn Carreraon the RC vehicle using the ON/OFF switch. The Carrera RC vehicle has two speed settings: You can also use the ON/OFF switch to switch to training or indoor mode.
For 2.4 GHz Servo Tronic models:
, turn on the vehicle first; the LED on the top of the vehicle will then flash rhythmically. You can then turn on the controller. Here, too, the LED will flash rhythmically for a few seconds. Once the vehicle and the controller are paired, the status LEDs on both the vehicle and the controller will remain lit.
Adjusting the Steering: If Carrera, while operating the RC car, you notice that the car is pulling to the right or left, you can correct its trajectory using the adjustment switch located on the underside of the car.

Follow these steps to Carreraproperly pair your Red Fibre® ® Profi® (370183002/370183001) vehicle with the controller:
1) First, turn on the vehicle
. 2) Then, turn on the controller. When the LEDs on the vehicle and the controller are lit steadily, the pairing process is complete.

You can find all replacement parts and accessories for the various Profi RC models in our online store by entering the part number or name of your model in the search field. All compatible replacement parts are displayed on the vehicle’s product detail page.

The exploded view makes it quick and easy to identify the individual parts; however, the exploded view is available exclusively for Profi models.

To Carrera start up your professional RC vehicle, first turn on the vehicle using the ON/OFF switch. The LED on the vehicle will flash rhythmically. Next, turn on the controller. After a few seconds, the LEDs on the vehicle and the controller will remain lit. Pairing is complete.
The ON/OFF switch is located on the left side of the vehicle, right next to the battery compartment.

There is a sticker on the back of the controller and on the vehicle near the drive axle that shows the correct frequency.

Let the water drain off and dry your boat thoroughly after use. Use regular tap water to clean your boat. The contacts on the water sensors 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.

Here’s how to drain your boat properly:

Falshöft Coast Guard Boat (301001/301005)

After each trip, please open the two drain plugs at the bow and stern and, if necessary, drain any accumulated condensation. Please make sure to reinsert the drain plugs into their designated openings before each trip.

Ferrari Boat Arno XI (300005)

There is a drain plug at the stern. Open it after every trip to drain any condensation. Please make sure to reinsert the drain plug into the designated opening before every trip.

Power Wave (300001)

You’ll find the drain button on the underside of the boat, between the propeller and the sensor. Press it down with a blunt object until the condensation has drained from the boat. Since the drain button is spring-loaded, it will automatically return to its original position as soon as you stop pressing it.

Please note that, for safety reasons, the connection can only be made in the water. When starting up, turn on the controller first, then the boat. After the trip, follow the reverse order—turn off the boat first, then the controller.

Our boats are designed for use in fresh water with normal to moderate waves.
If your boat does come into contact with dirty or salty water, it must be thoroughly rinsed with regular tap water afterward.

If the battery in your boat or vehicle has been connected correctly and the charging process is proceeding normally, the red LED will remain lit. When the battery is fully charged, the red LED will turn green. The battery can then be removed and installed in the vehicle or boat.

If your micro quadcopter (502002) does not take off even though the battery is fully charged, please check whether the 4 rotor blades are arranged correctly. The letters are stamped on the top of the rotor blade. It is important to position the A/D rotor blades and the B/C rotor blades correctly.

Before your first flight, please make sure to check whether model aircraft are subject to mandatory insurance requirements in your country. For more information, contact the German Model Aircraft Association. Here’s what you’re not allowed to do with your model aircraft:

• Fly near airports without permission (minimum distance: 1.5 km)
• Fly over crowds of people, military installations, hospitals, power plants, or correctional facilities—please make sure you always maintain direct visual contact with the aircraft.
• Flying in windy conditions or bad weather,as well as under the influence of drugs or alcohol, is prohibited.
