Operating and Maintaining R/C Models

Tamiya R/C models require batteries for both the model and transmitter (typically sold separately). Read instruction manuals carefully before operation to understand control functions and safety guidelines. Operate in appropriate environments with adequate space and safe surfaces. Perform regular maintenance including cleaning after use, checking battery connections, lubricating gears and moving parts, and inspecting for wear or damage.

Store R/C models in dry locations away from extreme temperatures. Remove batteries when not in use for extended periods to prevent corrosion. Keep transmitters and receivers away from moisture and physical damage. Follow all safety guidelines especially when operating battle tanks with firing mechanisms or robots with moving arms.
