The chassis is designed with 4-wheel indepen­dent suspension, and long travel shocks that soak up bumps. Punch the throttle and race up to speeds of 35 km/h (22 mph)! Attempting to use your LiteHawk MONSTER MT 4x4 without completely reading the manual may cause injury to yourself and people in the vicinity, as well as damage to the R/C model.

LiteHawk MONSTER MT 4x4 - 2.4 Ghz
Your LiteHawk MONSTER MT 4x4 comes with a 2.4 Ghz radio system, which allows you to play without the fear of ever losing control! Race or play with countless other drivers. The range of your model is approximately 250ft which, due to its small size, is in excess of normal vision. The farther the model goes away from you the smaller it will become and the harder it will be to determine the model’s direction. We suggest you stay at a distance between 20ft-50ft, this keeps your MONSTER MT 4x4 within a safe operational distance.
Quick Tip: always turn the transmitter on first and off last.
