If the vehicle turns right when you steer left and turns left when you steer right, flip the “Steering Reverse” switch.

If you switch off the transmitter first before the R/C car, you may lose control of the R/C car.

Disconnect the battery when you are not running the vehicle.
The vehicle may run out of control or the battery can overheat and cause a fire.

Arrange the wires and bind them up with the aid of the zip ties. (See Photo 6)

Maintenance after driving

Proper maintenance is very important. After running, clean the chassis and check all moving parts for damage. If any parts are broken or damaged, repair or replace them before the next run. Regular maintenance is necessary to prevent damage to the car and maintain its performance.
Completely remove all dirt and debris from the vehicle, especially in the suspension, drive shafts and steering parts. Inspect each part and screws for loosening, missing parts or damages.

Check if there are damaged parts in the overall drive train.
Check the battery power both for radio controller and the car.
