3. Pairing the Remote Control
The RC car and remote control are typically pre-paired. If pairing is required:
- Turn on the RC car first.
- Then, turn on the remote control.
- The indicator lights on both devices should stabilize, indicating a successful connection.
- If connection fails, turn both off and repeat the process.
Operating Instructions
Basic Controls:
- Accelerator (Trigger): Pull the trigger to move forward. Push the trigger to brake or reverse. The full proportional throttle allows for precise speed control.
- Steering Wheel: Turn the wheel left or right to steer the car.
- Three-Speed Regulation Switch: Adjust the maximum speed of the car (High, Medium, Low). This is useful for beginners or for operating in smaller spaces.
- LED Light Button: Cycles through LED headlight modes: normal light, slow flashing, fast flashing.

Driving Tips:
- Start with the lowest speed setting until you are comfortable with the controls.
- The 4WD system and independent suspension allow for excellent performance on various terrains, including flat surfaces, sand, mud, and grass.
- Practice smooth acceleration and braking to maintain control, especially at high speeds.
- Be mindful of the car's high speed (up to 45mph/70km/h) and avoid operating in confined spaces or near obstacles.
- The car's simulation structure and high toughness explosion-proof PVC shell provide durability, but extreme impacts should be avoided.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life and performance of your RC car.
- Cleaning: After each use, especially in dirty or dusty conditions, clean the car with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using water directly on electronic components.
- Screw Check: Periodically check all screws, especially those on the chassis, suspension, and wheels. Tighten any loose screws to prevent parts from falling off during operation.
- Battery Care:
- Always disconnect batteries from the car when not in use.
- Store batteries in a cool, dry place.
- Do not fully discharge LiPo batteries; charge them before they are completely depleted.
- Allow batteries to cool down before recharging.
- Component Inspection: Regularly inspect the metal differential, metal differential cup, metal CVD front drive shaft, metal rear dogbone, metal wheel cups, metal second bottom plate, metal front and rear arm yards, and metal center drive shaft for any signs of wear or damage. These metal components enhance the car's durability and reliability.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Car does not respond to remote. | Low battery in car or remote; not paired; interference. | Charge car battery, replace remote batteries, re-pair car and remote, move to an area with less interference. |
| Short operating time. | Battery not fully charged; old battery; continuous high-speed use. | Ensure batteries are fully charged, consider replacing old batteries, use lower speed settings for longer run times. |
| Car pulls to one side. | Steering trim not adjusted; damaged steering components. | Adjust steering trim on the remote control. Inspect steering linkages for damage. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Loose gears; debris in drivetrain; damaged motor. | Inspect gears for damage or looseness, remove any debris, contact support if motor damage is suspected. |
| Car stops suddenly. | Overheat protection activated; battery depleted. | Allow car to cool down for 15-20 minutes. Recharge or replace battery. |
