Tracks, Battery Installation, Maintenance

win is also recorded in your circuit level STATUS to track your progression through the three levels (ROOK- IE, AMATEUR, PRO). However, if you lose then your vehicle and car parts are taken by your competitor.

• LINKING (HEAD-TO-HEAD):

You can LINK your SKANNERZ with a friend and race head-to-head. You will have real time feed back about your opponent. At the end of the race, the win- ner gets to take the vehicle of the competitor. To link up and RACE, select the LINK option on the MAIN MENU. Connect the two units together and then SELECT RACE. You will then choose the TRACK and VEHICLE you wish to RACE. To connect the two units, make sure the tabs and slots, at the top of your controller, fit together.

HINT: If you break away from a competitor’s con- troller during a race, you have 10 seconds to restore connection before the race is lost. If you break away, you will still retain your vehicle and the race will be over.

• PRACTICE:

Practice mode is for you to refine your skills and learn secrets on each of the three TRACKS. You will also avoid losing a vehicle or car parts.

TRACKS:

There are 3 different track types, OFF-ROAD, DRAG STRIP, and STREET to test your skills.

OFF-ROAD

OFF-ROAD courses will have slight turns and speed bumps that will slow you down. Vehicles with good SUSPENSION (Primary) and ACCELERATION (Secondary) will do well on this track.

SKILL FACTOR – When encountering a speed bump you should release the ACCELERATOR button to maintain a constant speed which lessens the potential damage to your vehicle.

DRAG STRIP

DRAG STRIP courses will be straight; however, narrow and wide sections have been added to make it more challenging. Vehicles with good ACCELERATION (Primary) and SPEED (Secondary) will do well.

SKILL FACTOR – As the vehicle gains speed, the vehicle will tend to veer left and right. The challenge is to steer the car straight to stay on course.

STREET

STREET courses will have many turns. Vehicles with good SPEED (Primary) and SUSPENSION (Secondary) will do well on this track.

SKILL FACTOR – Stay on the inside of a turn to maintain your speed.

ALL TRACKS

NOTE – Your speed will be reduced, every time you bump the side of the track or an opponent.

ADDITIONAL TERMS / ACTIONS:

•SHIFTING:

When racing on any of the tracks, shifting will be required to help you gain speed quickly. To SHIFT, through all five gears, press the SHIFT button as your vehicle reaches the maximum RPM’s.

SLEEP MODE:

After 60 seconds of not being used, your controller will automatically go into “SLEEP MODE”. To turn it back on, simply press the ON button and the con- troller will return to the MAIN MENU.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

You have 30 seconds to change batteries without los- ing your stored data. Your SKANNERZ RACERZ con- troller must be in sleep mode when changing batteries or you will lose all of your stored items.
