Welcome to the World of LiteHawk!
Before we get ready for your first driving adventure, let’s cover the basics together!
BOOST is a scaled down version of an Off Road Racer - it will speed across all types of
terrain and thrill with big slides! The chassis is designed with 4-wheel independent
suspension, 4WD and oil filled shocks that soak up bumps. Punch the throttle and race
up to speeds of 50 km/h (30 mph)!
Attempting to use your LiteHawk BOOST without completely reading the manual may
cause injury to yourself and people in the vicinity, as well as damage to the R/C model.
Please read the Instruction Manual thoroughly before using this product.

LiteHawk BOOST - 2.4 Ghz
Your LiteHawk BOOST 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 BOOST within a safe operational distance.
