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.
