Once paired, you can begin operating your RC Construction Racer.

• Forward/Backward: Use the left joystick (or corresponding control) to move the vehicle forward or backward.
• Steering (Left/Right): Use the right joystick (or corresponding control) to steer the vehicle left or right.
• Speed Control: The vehicle's speed is proportional to how far you push the joystick.

Driving Tips:

• Start in an open area to get accustomed to the controls.
• Practice smooth turns and acceleration.
• The all-wheel drive system provides good traction on various surfaces, but avoid extremely rough terrain or steep inclines that could damage the vehicle.
