INSERT BATTERIES

Insert three AA batteries into the transmitter. Pay attention to the polarity. If you do not use the remote control for a longer period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

OPERATION

SWITCH ON THE TRANSMITTER AND CAR

Slide the switch to the “ON“ position to switch on the remote control.
Press and hold the button on the ESC for 2-3 seconds to switch it on.

CHECK THE THROTTLE
When you pull the throttle trigger, your car accelerates forward. When you push the throttle trigger, the car brakes. When you release the trigger and then push again, the car drives backward.

STEERING TRIM
If the vehicle does not drive straight, you can correct the wheel position with “ST.TRIM”. Turn the potentiometer to straighten the wheels.

MAX SPEED
The maximum speed can be set via the “SPEED” potentiometer. Turn the knob to the left, the vehicle travels approx. 30-40% of the maximum speed. Turn the knob to the right, the maximum speed is 100%.

SERVO DIRECTION
If you turn the steering wheel to the left and the vehicle steers to the right, you can toggle the “ST.REV:” switch to reverse the direction of rotation of the servo.

SWITCH OF CAR AND TRANSMITTER
When you are finished using the vehicle, be sure to turn off the vehicle first and then the remote control. To do this, press the button on the ESC for 2-3 seconds. Then slide the switch on the remote control to “OFF”. Be sure to disconnect the battery from the ESC when not using the vehicle.

MAINTENANCE

Before each journey, check the vehicle for loose screws, especially the engine mounting screws. Tighten them if necessary.
All screws that are screwed directly into metal should be secured with thread locker. This will prevent screws from coming loose while driving. Screws that are screwed into plastic or composite material do not need to be secured.
Check the transmitter batteries before each ride.
Over time, a lot of dirt will accumulate on the chassis. These should be removed with a soft brush and compressed air.
Check the suspension and steering system to make sure both are working smoothly.
Check the electronics for signs of damage. This includes the steering servo, esc/receiver, motor, and wiring.
Periodically check the bonding between the tires and rims. If you notice any tire separation, re-glue the tire to the rim using a high-quality tire adhesive.

CHARGING BATTERY

Please remove the battery from the vehicle before charging it.
To do this, press down on the tab circled in Fig. 1. Remove the battery cover and take out the battery.
Children must NOT charge the battery without adult supervision.
Charging must be done in a safe and spacious area that is protected from heat and moisture.
Never charge the battery unattended or overnight.
Connect the battery with the white balance plug to the socket on the USB charging cable. Then connect the USB plug to a USB socket on the PC or a smartphone charger (5V 2A).
Charging time is about 3.5 – 4 hours on a PC, and about 2.5 – 3 hours on a USB power supply (5V 2A).
During the charging process, the red LED on the USB plug is permanently lit, and the green LED is glowing. Once charging is complete, the green LED will be on continuously and the red LED will be off.

CAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY

Please fully charge the battery before each use.
As soon as you notice that the vehicle slows down, the vehicle should be stopped as quickly as possible to charge the battery. Allow the battery to cool down before charging.
If you do not use the vehicle for a longer period, we recommend charging the battery to approx. 50%. To do this, only charge for approx. half the charging time (1.5-2 hours on the PC and 1-1.5 hours smartphone power supply with 2A).

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the vehicle does not work:

Make sure the remote control and vehicle are switched on, the batteries in the remote control are new and the vehicle battery is charged.
Check if any parts/cables/plugs are damaged. Repair or replace them if necessary.
The vehicle battery is empty. Charge it.

If the vehicle is driving slowly:

The vehicle battery is empty. Charge it.
Check if the gears are dirty or worn. Clean or replace them.
Check if the backlash between the motor pinion and the main gear is set correctly. (A paper thickness is optimal)
Check whether any moving parts are blocked.

If throttle/brake works but the steering does not:

Check if the servo is stuck.
Check if the servo linkage is loose or if the servo is defective. If possible, repair or replace.

If the vehicle steers but does not accept throttle:

Check the entire driveline for damage.
Check the batteries in the remote control and the vehicle battery.
