3. Connect the battery to the ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) using the appropriate connector (e.g., XT60).
4. Secure the battery within the designated compartment to prevent movement during operation.
5. Reattach the body shell, ensuring it clicks securely into place.

5.1 Basic Controls

Use the remote control to steer and accelerate your RC crawler. Familiarize yourself with the throttle trigger for forward/reverse movement and the steering wheel for left/right turns. Practice in an open, safe area before tackling challenging terrain.

5.2 Two-Speed Transmission

The FMS FCX10 features a two-speed transmission. Use the designated switch on your remote control to shift between high and low gears. Low gear provides maximum torque for crawling over obstacles, while high gear offers greater speed for open trails.

These lights draw power from the chassis and can be activated with a single button on the remote control, enhancing realism and visibility.
