Maintenance

• After use, especially in water or mud, wipe down the Batmobile with a clean, damp cloth.
• Ensure the charging cable compartment is always sealed when not charging or when operating in wet conditions.
• Store the vehicle and controller in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
• Avoid driving over excessively large obstacles or through very tall grass to prevent strain on the motors and tires.

Troubleshooting

• Controller Beeping: If the controller beeps, the Batmobile is either driving out of range or its battery is low. Turn the vehicle around and drive it closer to the controller. If beeping continues, recharge the Batmobile.
• Vehicle Drifting: If the Batmobile drifts left or right while driving straight, use the trim buttons on the remote control to adjust its steering. Drive straight and press the opposite trim button (e.g., if drifting left, press the right trim button under the steering toggle) until it drives straight.
• No Connection: If the vehicle and controller do not connect on the first attempt, turn both off, then turn them back on and repeat the pairing steps.
