Setup
Battery Installation
The RC car and remote control require AA batteries (not included). Rechargeable AA batteries are recommended for extended use and convenience.
- For the RC Car: Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the car. Open the cover and insert 3 x AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the battery compartment securely.
- For the Remote Control: Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control. Open the cover and insert 2 x AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the battery compartment securely.
Remote Control Pairing
The car and remote control are pre-paired from the factory. If pairing is lost or you are using multiple RASTAR RC cars, follow these steps:
- Ensure both the car and remote control have fresh batteries installed.
- Turn on the RC car using the ON/OFF switch.
- Turn on the remote control. The indicator light on the remote should blink and then become solid, indicating successful pairing.
- If pairing fails, turn off both devices, wait a few seconds, and repeat the process.
Operating Instructions
Controls
The dual-grip remote control allows for intuitive operation:
- Forward/Backward: Use the designated buttons or triggers to move the car forward or backward.
- Turn Left/Right: Use the directional buttons to steer the car left or right.
Driving Surfaces
The Ferrari F1-75 RC car is designed for optimal performance on smooth, flat surfaces. This includes:
- Pavement
- Hardwood floors
- Low-pile carpet
Avoid driving on rough terrain, sand, or high-pile carpets, as this can impede movement and potentially damage the car's undercarriage or wheels.

Steering Alignment Adjustment

Maintenance

- Battery Care: Remove batteries from both the car and remote control when not in use for extended periods to prevent leakage and corrosion.
