www.xmodsRC.com 15Care• Keep your XMODS car and controller dry; if they get wet, wipe them dry immediately. • Use and store only in normal temperature environments. • Running your XMODS continuously for long periods can generate high heat levels. • Handle your XMODS car and controller carefully and do not drop them. • Keep away from dust and dirt. You can wipe your car and controller with a damp cloth occasionally to keep them looking new.• Modifying or tampering with your XMODS’ internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it.
