  4. Power On and Pairing:

    Once the vehicle battery is charged and installed, and controller batteries are in place, turn on the RC car using its power switch. Then, turn on the controller. The car and controller should automatically pair. If pairing does not occur, turn both off and on again, ensuring they are close to each other.

  5. Tire Selection:

    The car comes with two sets of tires: drift tires (often harder plastic for sliding) and road tires (softer rubber for grip). Choose the appropriate tires for your desired driving experience. To change tires, carefully remove the existing wheels and replace them with the desired set, ensuring they are securely attached.
