2. Safety Information

WARNING: This RC model is not a toy. It is capable of high speeds and requires careful handling. Improper use can lead to serious injury or property damage. Recommended age: 14 years and older.

• Always operate the model in open areas, away from people, pets, vehicles, and obstacles.
• Never operate near public roads, busy areas, or residential zones.
• Ensure all batteries are fully charged and properly installed before operation.
• Always turn on the transmitter first, then the receiver (car). Turn off the receiver (car) first, then the transmitter.
• Keep hands, hair, and loose clothing away from moving parts.
• Do not touch the motor or ESC immediately after use, as they can become very hot.
• Store the model and batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Use only original or recommended replacement parts.

3. Setup and First Use

3.1 Unboxing and Inspection

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the RC car and remote control for any signs of damage. The package includes:

• Reely 1:7 Deathwatcher XL 6S RtR Vehicle with body decoration
• 4-channel Remote Control
• Vehicle Manual (paper and CD)

3.2 Battery Installation (Not Included)

The RC car and remote control require batteries, which are not included in the package.

1. For the RC Car: This model is designed for powerful LiPo batteries (e.g., 6S configuration). Consult the vehicle manual (on CD) for specific battery type, voltage, and connector requirements. Ensure batteries are fully charged using a compatible LiPo charger before installation. Securely fasten batteries within the chassis using the provided straps.
2. For the Remote Control: Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control. Insert the required batteries (typically AA size, refer to the remote control manual for exact type and quantity) ensuring correct polarity. Close the battery compartment.

3.3 Initial Checks and Binding

Before operating, ensure the remote control and vehicle are properly bound (paired). Refer to the specific remote control manual for detailed binding instructions. Generally, the steps are:

1. Turn on the remote control.
2. Connect the battery to the RC car's ESC.
3. Turn on the RC car's power switch.
4. Observe the indicator lights on both the remote control and the car's receiver to confirm a successful connection.
5. Test steering and throttle response at low speed to ensure proper function.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Controls

Your 4-channel remote control provides precise command over the RC car.

• Throttle Trigger: Pull to accelerate forward, push to brake/reverse.
• Steering Wheel: Turn left or right to steer the vehicle.
• Channel 3/4 (Auxiliary): These channels typically control additional functions such as the disc brake system or light modes. Refer to your remote control manual for specific assignments.

4.2 Driving Tips

• Start with gentle throttle inputs to get accustomed to the car's power and handling.
• Practice steering in wide-open spaces before attempting tighter maneuvers.
• The car features a disc brake system controlled by a high-torque servo. Learn to modulate braking for optimal control, especially at high speeds.
• Be aware of the car's maximum speed of 100 km/h. Always maintain a safe distance from yourself and others.

4.3 LED Lighting System

The Reely Urban Green model is equipped with a functional LED lighting system for enhanced realism and visibility.

• White LED Headlights: Provide illumination for driving in low-light conditions.
• Red LED Brake Lights: Activate when the brake is applied.
• Orange LED Turn Signals (Left/Right): Function when steering at low speeds, mimicking real car behavior.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your RC model car.

• Cleaning: After each use, especially if driven in dusty or dirty conditions, clean the car using a soft brush or compressed air. Avoid using water directly on electronic components.
• Chassis and Suspension: Regularly inspect the aluminum chassis, suspension arms, and shock absorbers for damage or loose screws. Tighten as necessary.
• Gears and Drivetrain: Check the CNC-milled metal gears and steel main shaft for wear. Lubricate moving parts with appropriate RC-grade lubricant.
• Motor and ESC: Ensure the motor cooling fan is free of debris. Monitor motor and ESC temperatures during operation.
• Tires: Inspect tires for wear and damage. Replace worn tires for optimal grip and handling.
• Disc Brake System: Check the disc brake pads and servo linkage for proper function and wear.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your RC car, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps.

• Car not responding:
  • Check if both the remote control and car are powered on.
  • Ensure batteries in both the car and remote control are fully charged and correctly installed.
  • Verify that the remote control and car are properly bound.
  • Check for any loose wiring connections.
• Loss of range/intermittent control:
  • Ensure no other 2.4GHz devices are causing interference.
  • Check the antenna on both the remote control and car for damage.
  • Operate in an open area away from large metal objects or strong radio signals.
• Steering not working correctly:
  • Check the steering servo connection and ensure it's not jammed.
  • Inspect steering linkages for damage or obstructions.
  • Adjust steering trim on the remote control.
• Motor not running or running intermittently:
  • Check battery charge and connections.
  • Ensure the ESC is properly connected to the motor and receiver.
  • Check for any debris obstructing the motor or gears.
  • If the motor or ESC is excessively hot, allow it to cool down.
