General Information

This Manual is subject to change without prior notification.
This product is NOT a toy, and not intended for users under 14 years of age, unless closely supervised by an adult. The specifications and images in the manual may vary from the actual product.
Never operate the vehicle on public streets. This could cause traffic accidents, personal injury and/or property damage. This vehicle is ONLY be driven on the open track which is for RC cars. Do NOT handle this vehicle to chase pets or other animals.
The receiver, steering servo and other electronics installed in this vehicle are merely splash water-resistant. Do not immerse this vehicle into water.
Regular cheek on the transmitter power is very important. Remove the batteries from the transmitter when not in use.
Replace with the fresh batteries if necessary. Do NOT run this vehicle by low power from transmitter. When this vehicle becomes stuck, do NOT force on throttle. Failure to do so will cause an abrupt damage to the motor and/or the ESC(Electronic Speed Controller).
Check and clean the obstacles before running again.
Be careful not to touch any moving parts when servicing this vehicle.
To prevent excessive r.p.m. from damaging the motor, and/or the drive train components, we suggest reducing the throttle while in the air during jumps.
Never attempt to re-assemble motor, ESC, and receiver as these have been precisely calibrated at factory.
Always apply the factory optional/tooling parts to this vehicle.
To upgrade this vehicle requires the user to upgrade the entire radio/driving system (such as motor, ESC, receiver and so forth.) They should be strictly matched.
To run this vehicle, turn on the transmitter (radio controller) first and then the receiver. To stop running this vehicle, turn off the receiver first, and then the transmitter).
Erect the receiver antenna (if it comes with this vehicle) for best receiving performance. Never cut the receiver antenna (if it comes with this vehicle). Otherwise, it could lose control of the vehicle.

Do not mix old and new batteries in use.
Remove the batteries from the transmitter when not in use.
Do not use leaky batteries.

Proportional 2.4GHz Transmitter

Warning: Do not move the trigger and the steering control while the transmitter is being bound with the ESC/Receiver. Failure to do so will lead to wrong signal input. Please operate the transmitter after binding operation has been fulfilled.

1) Power Switch (On/Off): Slide it to switch on or off power.
2) Steering Wheel: Proportionally operates the car’s right and left steering control.
3) Throttle Trigger: Pull to accelerate, release to slow down, and push it to brake. Center it and then push it a second time to reverse.
4) Trim Steering Tab: Using your throttle hand thumb on this tab to steer while using the trim buttons with your other hand. (presented for personal preference only.)
5) Power LED: It flashes rapidly during binding. After binding, it stops flashing and stays on solid. Please charge the transmitter’s batteries in case the LED goes slow flashes.
6) Steering Trim: it is used to make the vehicle drive in straight line. Turning the steering trim knob to adjust.
7) Speed: Turning down the knob all the way will reduce the maximum speed down to 30-40% of the maximum speed. Turning up the knob will increase max speed up to 100%.
8) Steering Reverse Switch: It allows you to electronically switch the direction of the steering servo travel. For instance, if you move the steering wheel to the right and your vehicle turns left, flip this switch to make it turn right.
9) and 10): Aux. Switches, disabled on this vehicle.

To drive the vehicle

(1) Switch on the transmitter, and then the vehicle.

1) Slide the ON/OFF switch to switch on the transmitter.
2) Press and hold the button on the ESC/Receiver for 2-3 seconds to switch on the ESC/Receiver.

(2) Checking up the throttle [Proportional]

When you pull the throttle trigger, your vehicle accelerates forward. When you push the throttle trigger, your vehicle brakes. When you release the trigger then push again, your vehicle goes in reverse.

(3) Turning the steering trim to align the front wheels

If the front wheels are unaligned and off the center line the time you do not move the steering wheel on the transmitter, please turn the steering trim knob to align front wheels in line. Turn the steering trim clockwise to align them if the front wheels point to the left. Turn the steering trim anti-clockwise to align them if the front wheels point to the right.

(4) Tuning the speed switch

This Speed Switch is actually the throttle limiter. Turning down the knob all the way will reduce the maximum speed down to 30-40% of maximum speed. Turning up the knob will increase max speed up to 100%. It is strongly recommended that you learn from slow speed before trying to run the vehicle at high speeds.

(5) Steering Reverse Switch

It you move the steering wheel to the right and your vehicle turns left, flip the Steering Reverse Switch to make your vehicle turn right.
If you move the steering wheel to the left and your vehicle turns right, flip the Steering Reverse Switch to make your vehicle turn left.

To stop driving the vehicle

(1) Switch off the vehicle, and then the transmitter.

1) Press and hold the button on the ESC/Receiver for 2-3 seconds to switch off the ESC/Receiver.
2) Slide the ON/OFF switch to switch on the transmitter.

2) Clean the vehicle with the soft cloth and brush, and store it in a dry, cool and clean place away from the reach of children.

Maintenance Guide

Check the chassis for any loose screws, especially the motor mounting screws. Tighten them if necessary.
Any screws that are threaded directly into metal should be secured in place with thread lock. This will prevent the screws from loosening during use. Screws threaded into nylon or composite material do not require thread lock.
Check the condition of the transmitter batteries each item you drive your vehicle. If you think they might need replacement, do so before driving your vehicle again.
After a period of time the chassis will accumulate a lot of dirt and debris. This buildup should be cleaned off using a soft brush and compressed air.
After cleaning the chassis and motor with compressed air, apply a couple of drops of lubricating oil to the motor bushings.
Check the suspension and steering system to ensure both are working smoothly without any binding.
Check the electronics for any signs of damage. This includes the steering servo, ESC/Receiver, motor and wiring.
Periodically check the glue joints between the tires and wheels, looking for any signs of tire separation. If you notice any tire separation, re-glue the tire to the wheels using a good quality tire glue.
