GET STARTED!
Your vehicle has an amazing Gyro Stabilizer that makes it easy to drive
– and lets it perform amazing stunts! The stabilizer safely spins at high
speed inside the rear wheel, and it works like a gyroscope to help keep
your vehicle upright.
1.GET SET!
Energize the gyro stabilizer! Hold the vehicle off the ground and push the
left control all the way forward. Once the gyro stabilizer spins up to full
speed, you’ll be able to hear it – and if you twist the vehicle form side to
side you’ll really feel it working!
*Be sure to keep your fingers clear of the wheels at all times.
2.LAUNCH IT!
Gently hand-launch your vehicle. Set it on the ground and give it a gentle
push while pushing the left control forward. Now you’re ready for the
coolest stunt driving!

II. QUICK START
Please read this Owner’s Manual thoroughly.
1.Start with a full charge.
2.Turn vehicle switch ON. Press transmitter controls to run and control
your vehicle.
3.When you’re done driving, turn vehicle switch OFF. Remove all batteries
for storage.
III. BASIC OPERATION
IV. DRINING TIPS
1. For tighter turns, try short bursts of speed (quickly pushing the left
control forward and releasing several times) while you turn.
2. You can start with your vehicle resting on its side skid plate: push the
left control forward and steer with the right control (into and then out
of the turn.) Your vehicle will get up and go! But remember: if you start
this way, it’ll take the stabilizer a little while to come up to full speed.
And you’ll get different results on different driving surfaces.
3. Your vehicle will run really well on hard surfaces such as sidewalks.
Like a real stunt bike, it won’t perform best on slick surfaces such as
indoor flooring.
4. When you want to stop smoothly, it’s best to turn into a skid while
braking, instead of hitting the brakes suddenly while going straight.
V. ARTICULATED RIFER FIGURE
qAttach the rider figure’s feet as shown:
wAttach the rider figure’s hands as shown:
*You may want to slide the first hand onto the hand grip, and snap on
the second hand. Make sure the tab on the rotating hand grip is in the
position shown.
VI. COOL STUNTS
This is a super stunts vehicle…challenging and fun to drive. You’ll need
to PRACTICE to perfect your stunt technique. Test your skill and challenge
your friends!
*Your vehicle will do its coolest stunts only with the use of a curved
stunt ramp… like the one shown. Build or buy your own stunt
ramp. Ask an adult for help.
Try these stunts with the rider figure’s hands and feet locked in place…
or just hands locked in place. Experiment for the wildest extreme stunt
action!
q AWESOME DONUTS!
Push the left control forward to drive straight. Now use the right stick
to steer hard (either right or left) into a leaning turn. Now let go of the
controls; your vehicle will glide to a stop on its side skid plate. Quickly,
while the gyro stabilizer is still spinning, push the left control all the way
forward, and use the control stick to steer into the donut. As your vehicle
picks up speed, use the right control to steer out of the donut and bring
the vehicle upright.
w JAMMIN’ JUMPS!
Push the left control all the way forward to accelerate. Drive your vehicle
off a ramp and watch it catch some big air. For the smoothest jumps, keep
the control pushed forward during the jump. Depending on speed and dis-
tance, your vehicle may land on both wheels – or in a full wheelie!
e SIZZLIN’ SOMERSAULTS!
For amazing somersault stunts, try driving your vehicle downhill, aiming
at a small rock or other obstacle. When you drive over it, your vehicle may
flip into a fearsome forward somersault!

driving to the next exciting stunt!
VII. QUICK TIPS
1. When your vehicle starts to lose power, it may lose functions or
performance. It’s time for fresh batteries
(or a recharge). Your vehicle’s running time may change depending on
your driving style.
2. Radio interference can make your vehicle run poorly. Interference can be
caused by other R/C vehicles running on the same frequency, electrical
wires, large buildings, CB radios or other wireless gear. Try to stay
away from these!
3. Point your transmitter antenna up - not down toward your vehicle. If
your vehicle gets too far away,
it won’t work properly.
4. Don’t drive your vehicle through water or snow.
If your vehicle does get wet, wipe it with a towel and allow it to dry
completely.
5. Don’t store your vehicle near heat or in direct sunlight. Always turn
switches OFF and remove all batteries for storage.
