• Four-Wheel Independent Suspension System: Enhances stability and shock absorption, allowing for aggressive driving over uneven surfaces.
• LED Searchlights and Headlights: Improve visibility and add to the driving experience, especially in low-light conditions.

6.3 Driving Tips

• Start slowly to get a feel for the controls before attempting high speeds.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

• After each use, especially in dusty or dirty conditions, clean the car with a soft brush or compressed air.

• Regularly check for debris lodged in the wheels, gears, or suspension components.

7.2 Battery Care

• Always store batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Do not store fully charged or completely depleted batteries for extended periods. Charge them to about 50% for long-term storage.
• Inspect batteries for any signs of damage or swelling before and after each use.

7.3 General Maintenance

• Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight.
• Inspect the tires for wear and tear. Replace if necessary for optimal performance.
• Lubricate moving parts, such as drive shafts and suspension pivots, with appropriate RC lubricant.

8. Troubleshooting

• Car not responding: Ensure both the car and remote are powered on and batteries are charged. Re-pair the remote and car if necessary.
• Reduced range or interference: Check for other 2.4Ghz devices nearby. Ensure the antenna on the remote is fully extended (if applicable).
• Car pulls to one side: Adjust the steering trim on the remote controller.
• Motor not running: Check battery connection and ensure no debris is blocking the motor or gears.
• Overheating: Allow the car to cool down after intense use. Avoid continuous high-speed operation without breaks.
