Maintenance
1. Cleaning
After use, especially on dusty or dirty surfaces, gently clean the car's body and chassis with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners directly on electronic components.
2. Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid overcharging or completely draining the LiPo battery. Store the car and remote with partially charged batteries if not in use for extended periods. Remove AA batteries from the remote if storing for a long time.
3. Component Inspection
Regularly inspect the wheels, gears, and steering components for any debris or damage. The R01 features metal gears for durability; however, ensure they remain free of obstructions for smooth operation.

Troubleshooting
- Car Not Responding:
- Ensure both the car and remote control are powered on.
- Check battery levels in both the car and remote. Recharge or replace as needed.
- Verify that the car and remote are properly bound. Refer to the "Binding the Remote Control" section.
- Short Battery Life:
- Ensure the car's LiPo battery is fully charged before use.
- Battery performance can decrease over time; consider replacing if significantly degraded.
- Low Battery Voltage Alarm:
- The remote control provides real-time voltage display and a low voltage alarm. If the alarm sounds, or the front and rear headlights flash rapidly, the car's battery is low. Immediately stop operation and recharge the car. The vehicle will not move under low battery conditions for safety.
- Erratic Movement/Steering:
- Check for obstructions in the wheels or steering mechanism.
- Ensure the steering trim on the remote control is centered.
- Adjust ST Beginner Mode settings for desired steering sensitivity.
