LiteHawk APEX - 2.4 Ghz
Your LiteHawk APEX 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 150ft 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 5ft-25ft, this keeps your APEX within a safe operational distance.
