- Connect the other end of the USB cord into your computers USB port or a USB wall charger (see diagram C), The RED CHARGE indicator light turns OFF while the charging is in progress and ON when the JUNGLE RACER is fully charged.
- Average charging time is approximately 40-50 minutes (via 5.0V 2A USB wall charger). The truck operates for approximately 12-15 minutes on full charge.
- Don’t forget the red LED charging indicator on the USB cord turns ON when the battery is fully charged.
*SAFETY TIP: Periodically examine the USB charging cord for external damage. External damage to the charging cord may result in the risk of fire or electric shock. Never use a damaged charging cord or compromised wall adapter.
INSTALLING BATTERIES INTO THE REMOTE CONTROL
Turn the included remote controller upside down with the battery door facing you. Secure the controller with one hand and with your other hand place your thumb on the center of battery door and slide the cover off (see diagram D). Insert 3 AA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment. Make sure to match the polarity (+ and -) marked clearly inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover by sliding it in the reverse direction until you hear a “click” sound notifying that the cover is locked in place and secure .

SYNCING YOUR JUNGLE RACER
Your JUNGLE RACER utilizes an automatic 2.4G digital channel selection system that allows up to 8 individual players to race side by side in the same wireless range without interference.
FOR SOLO PLAYER:
- Before starting, make sure that the power on both your remote control and truck are in the OFF position (the on off power button is on the under carriage of the truck next to the charging socket)
- First turn ON the truck and set it down on a flat surface. The head lamps will be flashing rapidly letting know that the truck has power and is ready for syncing.
- Next turn ON the remote control. The head lamps should stop flashing and immediately become solid indicating that you have successfully synced your JUNGLE RACER.
*Note: If pairing fails first make the sure that batteries are properly installed in the controller and truck and then turn both of and repeat steps 1-3 above.
FOR MULTIPLE PLAYERS:
- Before starting, make sure that the power on all the trucks and all the controllers are in the OFF position.
- Following a one by one sequence, each player should sync their truck one at a time by Follow steps 1 to 3 above.
- IMPORTANT: after syncing each truck, make sure to leave each truck ON until all players have completed the syncing process.
- If there is an interference problem, all players must turn off their controllers and trucks and restart the process again.
HOW TO OPERATE YOUR JUNGLE RACER
SPEED SETTINGS
Your JUNGLE RACER comes with 3 speed settings for beginner and more advanced
drivers; (SLOW,MEDIUM and HIGH).
The Default setting when you first turn on your JUNGLE RACER is MEDIUM. For
beginner drivers we suggest you start in the SLOW SPEED setting (SEE SPEED
MODE SWITCH DIAGRAM E). In the low speed setting your JUNGLE RACER has all the
same proportional steering and proportional acceleration functions as in the
high speed setting but the speed is governed for younger drivers and beginners
who are just learning how to control their new vehicle. In HIGH SPEED setting
the JUNGLE RACER can reach its maximum speed and power.
Short press speed button you can switch among the 3 speed settings and the
beeps indicating which speed you are in. 1 beep stands for slow speed/2 beeps
stands for medium speed/3 beeps stands for high speed.
PROPERLY USING THE THROTTLE
The JUNGLE RACER is unlike most toy RC cars as it uses digital proportion
acceleration.
This feature comes from the higher-end hobby car industry and it makes driving
your JUNGLE RACER so much more fun and controllable!
With digital proportional speed your JUNGLE RACER has a wide range of
sensitivity and speed control. For example; you can practice driving very
slowly, you can control the rate of acceleration and you can adjust your speed
up and down on the fly creating tight turns or instant straight-away
acceleration. The digital throttle is very sensitive so we strongly suggest to
begin practicing with a very gentle finger on the throttle until you can begin
to understand and feel how to control the speed.
REACHING TOP SPEEDS
The JUNGLE RACER has been clocked at speeds above 24MPH. To achieve the
vehicles top speeds, you must first have a large open outdoor space with a
fairly smooth and hard surface. Make sure you have at least 100 feet of length
and 12 feet of unobstructed width for your runway (6 feet on either side of
your vehicle). Next make sure your controller speed setting is set to HIGH
SPEED mode. Next adjust and test the left/right trim so the JUNGLE RACER
drives in a fairly straight line without steering wheel input.
Now you’re ready! Let go of the steering wheel and allow the tires be held in line by the automatic digital steering control system. From zero start the truck rolling by gently, gradually and consistently pulling back the throttle until the throttle stick hits the back wall of the controller.
PRO TIP: You will need to make very tiny left / right steering inputs to
keep the JUNGLE RACER in a straight line while you push the JUNGLE RACER to
maximum velocity!
*Road condition, environmental condition and operator skill can affect performance.
ADJUSTING THE TRIM
The JUNGLE RACER comes with a digital proportional steering system. This
special steering system allows the driver to perform more accurate turning
functions and helps to keep the car in-control on the road! Before starting
play, and from time to time after using your JUNGLE RACER(especially after a
few crashes and rolls), you should adjust your steering trim so the JUNGLE
RACER drives in a “generally straight” line without touching the steering
wheel. On the face of your controller you will see the trim button with an L
and R (right and left) on either side (SEE DIAGRAM F) with the power button on
and
truck synced to the controller, slowly turn the Trim Dial right and left. You
should see the front tires move (note you should not be driving the car or
touching the throttle while trimming). Once you feel the tires are straight
you should test this by not touching the steering wheel and just gently
pulling on the throttle. The car should follow a “generally straight line”.
Note it is normal for the car to have a slight leftward or rightward drift.
This will not affect steering and driving performance.
PROPERLY STEERING THE VEHICLE
The JUNGLE RACER has 6-way control with digital proportional steering. The
JUNGLE RACER has the ability to go straight-forward, straight-backwards,
forward-left, forward-right, reverse-left and reverse-right (See Diagram G).
Digital Proportional Steering is a unique feature rarely found on toy RC
vehicles. With the JUNGLE RACER proportional steering system you can
accurately control your vehicle in all types of situations making driving this
truck a blast! We suggest practicing with gentle movements on the steering
wheel so you can get used to the feeling and sensitivity of the JUNGLE RACER
steering system. Start slow and remember practice makes perfect!
