• Steering: Use the steering wheel on the remote control to turn the car left or right.
• Trim Adjustments: If the car does not drive straight, use the steering trim dial on the remote to fine-tune the steering alignment.

5.2 Drifting Techniques

The LDRC 1/18 Rx7 is designed for RWD drifting. The built-in gyroscope assistance system helps maintain stability during slides. Practice in an open area to master control:

• Initiate a drift by turning sharply while applying throttle.
• Counter-steer (turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction of the turn) to maintain the slide.
• Adjust throttle input to control the speed and angle of the drift.
