Keep Away From Spinning Wheels

Operating Your RC Safely

By Michael James, About.com

Do not pick up your RC car or truck while the tires are still moving. The spinning tires could easily rip off a finger or at the very least give you a painful abrasion or pinched fingers. Supervise young children -- even toy-grade RC cars can cause injury.

If it is necessary to pick up the vehicle while the wheels are spinning, carefully pick it up away from the tires and hold it away from your body.
