- Turn on the vehicle's power switch.
- Wait for the transmitter and receiver to establish a connection (indicated by LED lights).
2. Basic Controls
- Steering Wheel: Controls left and right movement.
- Throttle Trigger: Pull to accelerate forward, push to brake/reverse.
- Steering Trim: Adjust if the vehicle does not drive straight when the steering wheel is centered.
3. Driving Tips
The Pro4 SC10 is a powerful vehicle. Start with gentle throttle inputs to familiarize yourself with its handling characteristics. The four-wheel independent suspension and oil-filled coil-over shock absorbers provide excellent stability. Be mindful of high speeds, especially during turns, as the vehicle can roll over. The integrated sway bars help to manage body roll during aggressive cornering.

Maintenance
1. General Cleaning
After each use, especially in dusty or wet conditions, clean the vehicle to remove dirt, debris, and moisture. Use a soft brush or compressed air for hard-to-reach areas. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage plastic or electronic components.
2. Inspection and Fasteners
Regularly inspect the vehicle for any loose screws, nuts, or damaged parts. Pay close attention to the wheels, suspension components, and drivetrain. Tighten any loose fasteners to prevent further damage during operation.
3. Motor and ESC Care
The Reedy 3300kV brushless motor and water-resistant ESC are designed for performance. Ensure the motor's cooling fan is free from obstructions. Monitor motor and ESC temperatures during extended runs to prevent overheating. Allow components to cool down between battery packs.
