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.

SYNCING YOUR SHIFT 24

Your SHIFT 24 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  nterference.
FOR SOLO PLAYER:

1. 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)
2. 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.
3. Next turn ON the remote control. The head lamps should stop flashing and immediately become solid indicating that you have successfully synced your SHIFT 24.

*Note: If pairing fails frist 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:

1. Before starting, make sure that the power on all the trucks and all the controllers are in the OFF position.
2. Following a one by one sequence, each player should sync their truck one at a time by Follow steps 1 to 3 above.
3. IMPORTANT: after syncing each truck, make sure to leave each truck ON until all players have completed the syncing process.
4. If there is an interference problem, all players must turn off their controllers and trucks and restart the process again.

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR SHIFT 24:

SPEED SETTINGS

Your SHIFT 24 comes with 2 speed settings for beginner and more advanced drivers. For beginner drivers we suggest you start in the LOW SPEED setting (SEE SPEED  MODE SWITCH DIAGRAM E). In the low speed setting your SHIFT 24 truck 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 SHIFT 24 can  reach its maximum speed and power.

PROPERLY USING THE THROTTLE

The SHIFT 24 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 SHIFT  24 so much more fun and controllable! With digital proportional speed your SHIFT 24 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 SHIFT 24 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 SHIFT 24 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  SHIFT 24 in a straight line while you push the SHIFT 24 to maximum velocity! *Road condition, environmental condition and operator skill can affect performance.

ADJUSTING THE TRIM
The SHIFT 24 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 SHIFT 24 (especially after a few crashes and rolls), you should adjust your steering  trim so the SHIFT 24 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 SHIFT 24 has 6-way control with digital proportional steering. The SHIFT 24 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 SHIFT 24 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 SHIFT 24 steering system. Start slow and remember practice makes perfect!

ENHANCED PERFORMANCE TIRES
Your SHIFT 24 comes with a pair of grey colored enhanced performance tires (see image H) these enhanced performance tires were made out of extra-soft TPR with lower  internal air-compression for improved steering control on smooth or slippery surfaces. The enhanced performance tires are great for indoor or outdoor racing when you need  extra control on smooth surfaces.

PRO TIP: The performance tires are not advisable for off-roading or rougher roads and street terrain.
