We want you to enjoy your R/C vehicle and to operate it with care. Failure to operate your vehicle in a safe and responsible manner may result in injury to yourself and others and may cause damage to proper ty.

Read and understand all instructions carefully before use

and assembly/disassembly.

Do not run your vehicle on public roads or any area where

you may encounter pedestrian or vehicle traffic.

Do not operate in a congested area or in crowds.

Do not operate your vehicle with obstructed line of sight,

at night, or near water.

Your vehicle is radio controlled. Radio waves are subject to

interference. Radio interference can cause loss of control

of your vehicle.

Take care not to injure yourself while using tools to adjust

Your car is equipped with the new 2.4GHz radio system. Please read and understand all instructions below before operating.

Steering Wheel: Proportionally operates the models right and left steering control.

Battery Case: Requires 3pcs of AA size batteries.

Power Switch: Used to turn the radio controller ON/OFF

Steering Dual Rate Dial: Allows you to change the amount of steering servo travel compared

to the amount of physical movement of the steering wheel.

Throttle /Steering Trims: Used to adjust the center trim of the throttle/steering channel.

Steering Reverse: Allows you to electronically switch the direction of steering servo travel .

For example, if you move the steering wheel to the right and the steering ser vo moves to the

left, flip the Steering Reverse Switch to make the steering servo move to the left.

Throttle Reverse : Allows you to electronically switch the direction that the motor operates

in relation to the throttle trigger. For example, if you pull the throttle trigger to accelerate

forward, but the model goes in reverse,

flip the Throttle Reverse Switch to make the model accelerate for ward.

Trigger: Controls the speed and braking ability of your car. Pull it to accelerate, release it to

decelerate, and push it to brake. Pushing it a second time activates the reverse feature.

Indicators: Shows battery power level. Green indicator flashing means battery power is low.

If both red and green indicators are flashing then the radio controller battery is too low to

control the model and you must replace with fresh batteries immediately.

Bind(Pair) button: It is used to bind your 2.4GHz radio system.

1) Slide the battery cover as shown and install 3pcs of AA size batteries, positioning the polarity as indicated.

2) Replace the batter y cover after batteries are installed.

-Use batteries of same type.

-Remove batteries from the case if not in use.

-Always check the battery power.

-Dispose of exhausted batteries properly.

RUNNING YOUR CAR

TURN ON THE RECEIVER O N YO UR CAR

CAUTION

TO BIND THE RECEIVER TO THE RADIO CONTROLLER

Power Switch

Before running, make sure that the radio controller is bound with the receiver, which has been done at factory. If the model is not responding to the controller, it is possible that the controller and receiver are not bound, and you must perform the binding procedure following the instructions below.

1)Turn on the receiver (3-in-1 unit) using the power switch located on the side of the car. (Note: Receiver and ESC are combined inside the 3-in-1 unit.)

2) Hold the Bind(Pair) key and switch on the power on the controller. You must Hold the Bind(Pair) within 5 seconds of turning on the receiver.

3) The green indicator should flash, meaning that the binding process is being performed.

4) Once both red and green indicator are lit and not flashing, then your receiver is bound to your radio controller. The binding process is complete.

Before using your car, make sure the radio controller has sufficient battery power. If the battery power is too low it can lead to the loss of control of your car.

Always turn on the remote controller FIRST, and then the receiver.
