In general, we recommend always using batteries of the same type, as otherwise problems may occur when establishing a connection or during play. Batteries or rechargeable batteries should always come from the same batch. If you use batteries of different ages or with different charge levels, this may affect the playing time. The weakest battery determines how long the current will continue to flow. If the performance decreases, it is best to replace all batteries at the same time. Three standard “AAA LR03” batteries are used as the power supply for the RC tractors. The remote control module 6899 is also operated with two batteries of this type, the remote control modules 6708/6712/6730 with four “AA LR06” batteries. The RC excavator uses baby cells of type “C LR14” We recommend that you always use high-quality branded batteries from well-known manufacturers (e.g. Varta LONGLIFE Max Power or Ansmann) When buying batteries, pay attention to the best-before date printed on them and use batteries that will last as long as possible. Batteries lose power over time. Avoid heat and cold - The service life of a battery depends on the ambient temperature. Cold and heat shorten the service life. Medium temperatures, i.e. around 15 to 30 degrees, are ideal. When using rechargeable batteries, high-quality items should be used, e.g. from RC model sports. Designation 1.2V AAA HR at least 1050 mAh and 1.2VAA HR6 at least 1200mAh. Please remember to switch off the remote control and model after use. If only the remote control is switched off, the vehicle remains active and the batteries can discharge.

Yes, the SIKUCONTROL trailers and attachments are compatible with all SIKUCONTROL vehicles. It makes no difference whether you control the vehicles with a remote control or with the SIKUCONTROL app. You must make sure that you plug the data cable of the trailer correctly into the tractor unit. Sometimes a little more force is required until you hear a clear “click”.

No. We do not offer this service.

If you are using tractors with the 6708 remote control (red bar in the middle - radio series) or with the 6730 remote control (blue bar in the middle - Bluetooth series), you can switch between tractors and tractor units within the series using the A button.

The steering adjustment for tractors from the new Bluetooth series can only be carried out via the SIKUCONTROL app. Adjustment via the remote control module is no longer possible for these vehicles. Further information can be found in our service area in the instructions for the respective model.
