Care

Our Remote-Control Hobby Grade products contain internal and external parts that are replaceable for continued use as long as the product has not been discontinued by the manufacturer.  Therefore, over a period of use, parts will “Wear & Tear”, which is common to all moving products and will require replacement, unless they belong to 'Toy' category.

Note: The durability of parts can vary depending on the environment the product is being used.  The supplied user manual includes’ a Parts List for all internal and external Wear & Tear items, items surrounding the wheel assembly, as well as gears, that are available for purchase from our shop.

General 'Wear and Tear' parts are excluded from any Warranty after the product has been used whether inside or outside.

Some of the “Wear and Tear” parts include;

- All Gears, their respective Cogs, Bearings and Motors
- Wheels, Tyres, Wheel assembly and Drive shafts
- Chassis and all plastic components
- Steering, Suspension and Brake systems including Servos

PLEASE NOTE:- Not most R/C products are fitted with a Power Switch. If not fitted with one, then you must disconnect the battery from the product.  We also recommend for products fitted with an On/Off switch to disconnect the battery from the car when not in use for safety and longevity of battery life.

Proper Battery Maintenance include:
- Charge the battery fully before first use, before or after any use, storage or use after storage

(Never run RC products supplied with LiPo or Li-Ion batteries until the battery power becomes very low or fully discharged.  This will cause permanent damage to the battery).
- Allow for battery to cool down prior to charging again.  This will help prolong battery life
- Disconnect the battery from product when not in use. Leaving the battery connected to the product over time (when not in use) can cause damage to the battery due to gradual discharging
