Welcome to the world of Carrera RC!

Check to make sure the antenna on the controller is screwed in as far as it will go. Then pull the antenna out completely. For the antenna on the vehicle, use the transparent antenna tube included in the package (depending on the model). 

Open the vehicle chassis and clean the axles of dust and hair. Also, apply a drop of oil (resin- and acid-free grease) to the axles.

If Carrera , while operating the 2.4 GHz DIGITAL-PROPORTIONAL RC car, you notice that the car is moving forward or backward on its own, you can bring it to a stop as follows:
1) Turn the car over so that the wheels are off the ground.
2) First, turn on the vehicle using the ON/OFF switch. The LED on the top of the vehicle will flash rhythmically. Turn on the controller. The LED on the controller will flash rhythmically. After a few seconds, the LEDs on the car and the controller will remain lit. Pairing is now complete.
3) Press the button on the upper right side of the controller for about two seconds. Calibration mode is active as soon as the controller LED flashes. (See image)
4) Forward or reverse movement can be stopped using the left joystick.
5) To complete the calibration process, press the button on the upper right side of the controller again for about two seconds—the LED will now remain lit.

If your 2.4 GHz DIGITAL-PROPORTIONAL model pulls to the right or left, follow these steps:
1) Turn the vehicle over so that the wheels are in the air.
2) First,turn the vehicle on using the ON/OFF switch. The LED on the top of the vehicle will flash rhythmically. Then turn on the controller. The LED on the controller will flash rhythmically. After a few seconds, the LEDs on the vehicle and the controller will remain lit. Pairing is complete.
3) Press the button on the upper right side of the controller for about 2 seconds. Calibration mode is active as soon as the controller LED starts flashing. (See image)
4) You can adjust the straight-line stability using the right joystick.
5) To finish the adjustment process, press the button on the upper right side of the controller again for about two seconds—the LED will then remain lit steadily.

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

For 2.4 GHz Digital Proportional models,:
Carrera the RC vehicle and the controller are factory-paired. If you Carrera experience communication problems between the RC vehicle 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 the ON/OFF switch 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.

You can quickly and easily identify the individual parts using the exploded view, which 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 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.

Here’s how to properly drain your boat:

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 out of 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 your trip, follow the reverse order—turn off the boat first, then the controller.

Our boats are designed for use in freshwater 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 properly 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 blades. 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. You are not allowed to do the following 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 or inclement weather, or while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, is prohibited.
