Operating the Vehicle
Driving Basics
Familiarize yourself with the transmitter controls. The trigger controls forward and reverse throttle, while the steering wheel controls left and right turns. Start with slow, controlled movements to get a feel for the vehicle's handling before attempting high-speed maneuvers.

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
The integrated Spektrum DSC system helps maintain vehicle stability, especially during high-speed cornering or on loose surfaces. This feature can be adjusted or disabled via the transmitter settings, allowing you to tailor the driving experience to your preference and skill level.
Throttle Limiting
For new drivers or when operating in confined spaces, utilize the throttle limiting feature on your Spektrum SLT2 transmitter. This reduces the maximum power output, making the truck easier to control and preventing accidental damage.
