Operating Instructions
The EXOST Aqua Typhoon is an amphibious 4x4 vehicle capable of operating on land, snow, and water. It has a real speed of 8 km/h (scale speed of 192 km/h) and a control range of 20 meters.
Basic Controls:
The remote control features two joysticks, one for the left side motors and one for the right side motors. This control scheme allows for precise maneuverability and unique stunts.

- Backward: Pull both the left and right joysticks backward simultaneously.
- Turn Left: Push the right joystick forward while keeping the left joystick neutral or pulling it backward.
- Turn Right: Push the left joystick forward while keeping the right joystick neutral or pulling it backward.
- Spin: Push one joystick forward and the other backward to make the vehicle spin in place.
Operating on Different Terrains:
- Land: The vehicle performs best on smooth, flat surfaces. It can also handle uneven terrain, but very tall grass or large obstacles may impede movement.
- Snow: The amphibious design allows for operation on snow. Ensure the battery compartment is sealed to prevent moisture ingress.
- Water: The Aqua Typhoon is designed to float and propel itself in water. Ensure all seals are intact before placing it in water. Avoid deep or fast-flowing water. After water use, always dry the vehicle thoroughly.
