3. Turn on the vehicle. The indicator lights on both devices should show a successful connection. Refer to the specific instructions for your ESC/receiver for detailed binding procedures if automatic binding fails.

Operating Instructions

Remote Control Functions

• Steering Wheel: Controls left and right steering.
• Throttle Trigger: Pull to accelerate forward, push to brake/reverse.
• Steering Trim (ST.TRIM): Adjusts the neutral steering position if the car pulls to one side when the steering wheel is centered.
• Throttle Trim (TH.TRIM): Adjusts the neutral throttle position. Use if the car moves slightly forward or backward when the trigger is centered.
• Gyro Sensitivity (ESP+): Adjusts the sensitivity of the integrated gyro system. Increase for more stability, decrease for more direct control.
• LED Lighting Modes: Use the designated button on the transmitter to cycle through three different front LED lighting types. Red LED light is also present at the back.

Driving Your RC Car

1. Power On: Turn on the remote control first, then the vehicle.
2. Starting: Gently pull the throttle trigger to move forward. Practice smooth acceleration and braking.
3. Steering: Turn the steering wheel to guide the car. The integrated gyro system provides additional stabilization for precise handling, especially during drifts.
4. Drifting: The car is designed for drifting. Experiment with throttle and steering inputs to initiate and maintain drifts. The adjustable gyro sensitivity can assist in controlling drifts.
5. Top Speed: The car can reach speeds of 40-45 km/h. Always be aware of your surroundings.
6. Driving Time: Expect approximately 10-13 minutes of driving time on a full charge.
7. Power Off: Always turn off the vehicle first, then the remote control, after use. Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.

Maintenance

General Care

• Cleaning: After each use, especially if driven in dusty or dirty conditions, clean the vehicle with a soft brush or compressed air. Avoid using water directly on electronics.
• Storage: Store the model in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight. Always disconnect the battery before storage.
• Battery Care: Do not leave batteries fully charged or fully discharged for extended periods. For long-term storage, charge Li-ion batteries to approximately 50% capacity.

Component Inspection

• Ball Bearings & Drive Shafts: The vehicle is equipped with ball bearings and metal CVD drive shafts for reduced friction and direct power transmission. Periodically inspect these components for wear and ensure they are free of debris. Lubricate as needed with RC-specific lubricants.
• Suspension: Check the shock absorbers and suspension arms for damage or excessive play.
• Tires: Inspect tires for wear and tear. The package includes additional road tires.

Changing Tires

Your Amewi Sport Car Breaker Pro comes with mounted drift tires and additional road tires. To change them:

1. Use the provided tools to carefully remove the wheel nuts from each wheel.
2. Remove the drift tires and replace them with the road tires.
3. Securely fasten the wheel nuts. Do not overtighten.
4. Changing tires allows you to adapt the car's performance for different surfaces and driving styles (drifting vs. on-road racing).
