  • Periodically check for debris lodged in the suspension or drivetrain.

6.2 Battery Care

  • Always fully charge the Li-ion battery before storage if it will not be used for an extended period.
  • Do not overcharge or completely discharge the battery, as this can reduce its lifespan.
  • Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Remove batteries from the car and transmitter when not in use to prevent leakage.
