Keep these instructions for future reference: they contain important information.
GET STARTED!
Your vehicle has an amazing Gyro Stabilizer that makes it easy to
drive – and lets it perform amazing stunts! The stabilizer safely
spins at high speed inside the rear wheel, and it works like a
gyroscope to help keep your vehicle upright.
1. GET SET!
Energize the gyro stabilizer! Hold the vehicle off the ground and
push the left control stick all the way forward. Once the stabilizer spins up to full speed, you’ll be able to hear it – and if you
twist the vehicle from side to side you’ll really feel it working!
Be sure to hold the vehicle by the driver figure, keeping
your fingers clear of the wheels.
2. LAUNCH IT!
Now gently hand-launch your vehicle. Set it on the ground and
give it a gentle push while pushing the left stick forward. Now
you’re ready for the coolest stunt driving!

IV. QUICK TIPS
❶ When your vehicle starts to
lose power, it may lose
functions or performance.
It’s time for fresh batteries.
Your vehicle’s running time
may change depending on
your driving style.
❷ Radio interference can
make your vehicle run
badly. Interference can be
caused by other R/C vehi-
cles running on the same
frequency; electrical wires;
large buildings; or CB
radios. Try to stay away
from these!
❸ Point your transmitter
antenna up - not down
toward your vehicle. If your
vehicle gets too far away, it
won’t work properly. Your
maximum range should be
about 30'/9m.
❹ Don’t drive your vehicle in
sand or through water or
snow. If your vehicle does
get wet, wipe with a towel
and allow to dry completely
overnight.
❺ Don’t store your vehicle
near heat or in direct sunlight. Always turn switch
OFF and remove all batteries for storage.

V. DRIVING TIPS
1. You can also start with your
vehicle resting on its side skid
plate: push the left stick forward and steer with the right
stick (into and then out of the
turn). Your vehicle will get up
and go! But remember: if you
start this way, it’ll take the sta-
bilizer a little while to come up
to full speed. And you’ll get
different results on different
driving surfaces.
2. Your vehicle will run really
well on hard packed dirt,
asphalt and other similar surfaces.
3. When you want to stop, it’s
best to turn into a skid while
braking, instead of hitting the
brakes suddenly while going
straight.
VI. COOL STUNTS!
1. DIRT-DIGGIN’ DONUTS!
Push the left stick forward to
drive straight. Now use the
right stick to steer hard (either
right or left) into a leaning
turn. Now let go of the sticks;
your vehicle will glide to a
stop on its side skid plate.
Quickly, while the Gyro Stabilizer is still spinning, push the
left stick all the way forward,
and use the right stick to steer
“into” the donut. As your vehicle picks up speed, use the
right stick to steer “out” of the
donut and bring the vehicle
upright.
This stunt works best on
pavement or hard
packed dirt.
2. SIZZLIN’ SOMERSAULTS!
For amazing somersault
stunts, try driving your vehicle
downhill, aiming at a small
ramp or bump. When you drive
over it, your vehicle may flip
into a fearsome forward somersault!
5
4. WILD WHEELIES!
Drive your vehicle into a jump.
Pull the left stick back once
you’re airborne: your vehicle
will tumble and flip in mid-air.
Push the left stick all the way
forward as soon as you land.
Depending on speed and ramp
angle, your vehicle may land
on both wheels – or in a full
wheelie! Either way, the Gyro
Stabilizer will keep it going for
more cool stunt action!
5. STOP & START!
Push the left stick all the way
forward to accelerate. Now
use the right stick to steer into
a skid (either right or left),
while reducing speed. When
your vehicle’s side skid just
touches the pavement, quickly
jam the left stick forward
again and steer out of the turn.
Your vehicle will right itself
and keep driving to the next
exciting stunt!
3. JAMMIN’ JUMPS!
Push the left stick all the way
forward to accelerate. Drive
your vehicle off a ramp or curb
and watch it catch some “big
air.” For the smoothest jumps,
keep the stick pushed forward
during the jump. Depending on
speed and ramp angle, your
vehicle may land on both
wheels – or in a full wheelie!
You can change the
position of your vehicle
in mid-air by using the
left control stick. Push the
stick forward to keep the nose
up. Pull back to point the nose
down.
