4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Basic Controls

• Throttle (Trigger Lever): Pull the trigger lever towards you to move the truck forward. Push the trigger lever away from you to engage reverse.
• Steering (Steering Wheel): Rotate the steering wheel left to turn the truck left, and right to turn the truck right.
• Proportional Control: The WPL C24-1 features proportional throttle and steering. This means the truck's speed and turning angle respond directly to how much you pull the trigger or turn the wheel, allowing for precise control.
• Steering Trim (Adjustable Knob): If the truck does not drive straight when the steering wheel is centered, use the adjustable trim knob on the remote control to fine-tune the steering alignment.

4.2. Driving Tips

• The 2.4 GHz remote control offers high frequency and long control distance, minimizing interference.
• The truck's strong chassis structure and independent suspension allow it to climb at a 45-degree angle and navigate rugged roads, sand, mud, rock, or mountain terrains.
• LED lights enable driving in low-light conditions or at night.
