Using this model is straightforward. Since it has analog - DC only control, connect it to a compatible DC power source. When running it, keep in mind that it has a bit of motor/gearbox noise, but that doesn't affect its performance. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for any signs of increased wear. As the model is brass and fragile, handle it with care. If you need to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. Store it in the provided box with the aftermarket foam to protect it from damage. If you have any questions or issues, don't hesitate to contact us. Remember, we offer a 30 - day no - questions - asked money - back policy for your peace of mind.
