Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off
Turn on the RC car using the switch on its chassis. Then, turn on the remote controller using its ON/OFF switch. The indicator light on the controller will illuminate.
2. Pairing
The car and controller should automatically pair. If not, turn both off and then on again. The 2.4GHz non-interference transmission allows multiple cars to be operated simultaneously without signal conflict.

3. Controls
- Forward/Backward: Use the trigger on the remote controller. Pull the trigger to move forward, push it to move backward.
- Turn Left/Right: Use the steering wheel on the remote controller. Rotate the wheel left to turn left, and right to turn right.
4. Driving Tips
The SGILE RC car is designed for speed and drifting. Practice controlling the steering and throttle to master drifts and turns. Its excellent shock absorption allows it to climb over small obstacles. For optimal performance, use on flat, paved surfaces like asphalt or concrete. While durable, thick grass may reduce speed and maneuverability.
