7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

• After each use, clean the vehicle with a soft, dry cloth.
• Remove any dirt, dust, or debris from the chassis, wheels, suspension components, and motor area.
• Do not use water directly on electronic components or immerse the vehicle in water.

7.2 Storage

• Store the vehicle and remote control in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Remove batteries from both the vehicle and remote control if storing for extended periods (more than a few days) to prevent leakage and damage.

7.3 Inspection

• Regularly inspect the vehicle for loose screws, damaged parts, or worn tires.
• Ensure all connections are secure.
• Replace damaged parts as necessary to maintain optimal performance and safety.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1 Vehicle Not Responding

• Ensure both the vehicle and remote control are powered on.
• Check battery levels in both the vehicle and remote control. Recharge or replace batteries as needed.
• Re-pair the remote control and vehicle by turning both off, then turning on the remote, followed by the vehicle.

8.2 Reduced Performance

• Check the vehicle's battery charge. A low battery will result in reduced speed and responsiveness.
• Inspect for debris (e.g., grass, dirt, hair) caught in the wheels, gears, or motor.
• Ensure all electrical connections are secure.

8.3 Motor Stall Protection

If the motor encounters an obstruction and stalls, the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) will activate its protection function. Turn off the vehicle, clear any obstruction, and then restart the vehicle.

8.4 Low Voltage Cut-off

The ESC is equipped with a low voltage cut-off function. If the vehicle's battery voltage drops below 6.3-6.4V, the ESC will automatically shut down to prevent over-discharging and damage to the battery. Recharge the battery immediately when this occurs.
