THROTTLE
The trigger serves to accelerate forwards or backwards.
The first ride
1. For your first ride make sure to be with a person experienced in operating RC cars. We advise you to make your first ride in an
open environment away from walls and other objects to protect the RC car.
2. Find a location away from people and animals, with a smooth surface and without obstacles
3. Make sure that you do not drive towards moving vehicles or any traffic at all.
4. Place the car on the ground about 10 feet away from you. It is advised to place the car with the front facing away from you. This
will make it easier to control.
5. Switch on the car first and then switch on the remote control. A beeping sound will and light signal will indicate that the remote
is switched on. When the beeping sound stops the control is connected with the RC car.
6. Gently use the throttle trigger to make the car move. You can look if the car has any deviation. If so you can adjust the steering
using the steering trim.
Adjustments
Troubleshooting
1. If the car does not operate at all, either the transmitter or receiver is switched off, the batteries are not properly placed or the
batteries are not charged enough. Make sure that the transmitter and receiver are both switched on, the batteries are placed as
described in the manual and the batteries are fully charged in both the transmitter and receiver.
2. If the car does not respond properly, it could be that someone is interfering with the radio frequency that you are using or there
is not enough power in the transmitter or receiver batteries. Switch off the transmitter and receiver and switch them on again to
make a new connection and make sure the batteries in both the receiver and transmitter are fully charged.
3. If the control distance is not reaching the correct distance, the antenna on the transmitter is probably not fully extended or
tightened. Make sure the antenna is fully extended.
