Setup
1. Charging the Vehicle Battery:
- Locate the 3.7V 95mAh Li-po battery inside the car.
- Connect the included USB charger to a compatible USB power source (e.g., computer, USB wall adapter).
- Connect the car's battery to the USB charger. The charging indicator on the charger will show the charging status.
- Charging typically takes approximately 4.5 hours for a full charge. Do not overcharge.
A fully charged battery provides approximately 30 minutes of run time at full speed.

Operating Instructions
1. Power On and Pairing:
- Turn on the remote controller first.
- Turn on the power switch on the RC car.
- The remote controller and car should automatically pair. If pairing fails, turn both off and repeat the process.
2. Basic Controls:
- Throttle Trigger: Pull the trigger to move forward, push to brake or reverse.
- Steering Wheel: Turn the wheel left or right to steer the car.
3. Driving Tips:
- Start with slow speeds to familiarize yourself with the controls.
- Avoid driving in wet conditions or through deep puddles to prevent damage to electronic components.
- Operate within the remote control distance of approximately 98 feet (30 meters).
Maintenance
1. Cleaning:
- After each use, gently clean the car to remove dirt, dust, or debris.
- Use a soft, dry cloth or a small brush. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners.
2. Storage:
- When not in use, store the car and remote controller in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Remove batteries from the remote controller if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
- Ensure the vehicle battery is partially charged (not fully charged or fully discharged) for long-term storage to maintain battery health.
Troubleshooting
- Car does not respond to remote:
Check if both the car and remote controller are powered on. Ensure batteries are correctly installed and charged. Re-pair the remote and car. - Short run time:
The vehicle battery may not be fully charged. Ensure the battery is charged for the recommended 4.5 hours. Battery performance can decrease over time. - Vehicle stops or lights flash:
This indicates a low voltage status alarm. The front and rear lights will flash quickly, and the vehicle will cease operation. Recharge the vehicle battery immediately. - Poor control range:
Ensure you are within the specified remote control distance. Avoid areas with strong electromagnetic interference.
