5. Setup

5.1 Charging the Li-Po Batteries

  1. Connect the USB charging cable to a USB power adapter (not included, 5V/2A recommended).
  2. Connect the battery to the charging cable.
  3. The indicator light on the USB charger will show charging status (e.g., red for charging, green for fully charged).
  4. Charging typically takes 2-3 hours per battery. Do not overcharge.

5.2 Installing Batteries in the RC Car

  1. Remove the car shell by detaching the body clips.
  2. Open the battery compartment cover.
  3. Insert a fully charged Li-Po battery into the compartment.
  4. Connect the battery connector to the car's power connector.
  5. Close the battery compartment and reattach the car shell.

5.3 Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

  1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote control.
  2. Insert 3 x AA batteries (not included) according to the polarity markings.
  3. Close the battery cover.

5.4 Binding the Remote Control to the RC Car

  1. Ensure the RC car battery is connected and the car's power switch is OFF.
  2. Turn ON the remote control transmitter. The indicator light will flash.
  3. Turn ON the RC car's power switch.
  4. The indicator light on the remote control will become solid, indicating a successful binding.
  5. If binding fails, turn off both devices and repeat the steps.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Starting the Vehicle

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

  • After each use, especially in dirty or dusty conditions, clean the car.
  • Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dirt and debris from the chassis, wheels, and suspension components.
  • Wipe the body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water directly on electronic components.

7.2 Battery Care

  • Always disconnect batteries from the car and charger when not in use.
  • Store Li-Po batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  • Do not store fully charged or completely discharged Li-Po batteries for extended periods. Charge them to a storage voltage (around 3.8V per cell) if storing for more than a few days.
  • If a battery appears swollen or damaged, discontinue use immediately and dispose of it safely.

7.3 Component Inspection

  • Regularly check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight.
  • Inspect the tires for wear and tear.
  • Check the suspension for any damage or bent parts.
  • Ensure the wheel hub metal sheets are intact to prevent deformation.
