Operation
There is an OFF/ON switch on the
transmitter and on the bottom of the
car. Turn both switches to ON
How to Race:
Your transmitter features two
joysticks. The one on the left moves
up (forward) and down (reverse) to
control the forward and backward
motion of the car. The joystick on the
right moves right and left to control
the turning of your car.
Range:
When the vehicle goes beyond
radio signal contact, loss of control
or slowness will occur. Extend the
transmitting antenna higher for better
signal. Make sure the antenna is
screwed on tightly.
Trim Switch Control:
The switch is located on the
underside of the vehicle between
the two front wheels, just above
the battery compartment. It is used
to align the wheels so that vehicle
drives consistently in a straight line.
If your car turns when it should go
straight, adjust the trim switch until
the problem is eliminated.
Battery Life
Extend the battery life by switching
the unit off when not in use.
Battery life affects how your car
responds. When the transmitter range
decreases, replace the batteries in the
controller and vehicle.
Interference
It is advisable not to use the vehicle
close to high tension wires or CB
radios. Interference from radio waves
may affect the vehicle’s performance.
