- Inspect tires for damage and ensure they are securely mounted.
- Confirm shock oil levels and differential fluid consistency.
Driving Tips
- Start with gentle throttle inputs to get accustomed to the vehicle's power.
- Practice in an open area away from obstacles and people.
- Avoid prolonged full-throttle operation to prevent overheating of electronics.
- Be mindful of battery voltage and stop operation before the battery is fully depleted to prevent damage.
- Always turn on the transmitter first, then the vehicle. Turn off the vehicle first, then the transmitter.
