- Steering Wheel: Rotate left or right to control the direction of the car.
- Accelerator Trigger: Pull to accelerate forward, push to brake or reverse. This is a full proportional throttle for precise speed control.
- LED Light Button: Press to cycle through LED headlight modes: normal light, slow flashing, fast flashing.
- Three-Speed Control: Adjust the switch to select between Fast, Medium, or Slow speed modes, suitable for different skill levels and environments.
Driving Tips
- Initial Driving: Start in Slow or Medium speed mode to get accustomed to the car's handling.
- Terrain: The SG316 MAX is designed for off-road use. It performs well on flat surfaces, sand, mud, and grass due to its strong grip tires and 4WD system.
- Braking: Push the accelerator trigger forward to engage the brake. Pushing further will activate reverse.
- Headlights: Utilize the LED headlights for improved visibility during low-light conditions or for added visual effect.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan and performance of your RC car.
- Cleaning: After each use, especially in dirty or wet conditions, clean the car thoroughly. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dirt and debris from the chassis, wheels, and suspension components. Avoid using water directly on electronic parts.
- Battery Care: Store Lipo batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not fully discharge batteries before storing them for extended periods. Always charge batteries on a non-flammable surface.
- Component Inspection: Regularly check for loose screws, damaged parts, or excessive wear on tires, shocks, and differentials. Tighten any loose fasteners. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of RC-safe lubricant to moving metal parts, such as differential gears and drive shafts, to reduce friction and wear.
