4.1 Pairing the Remote Control

The car and remote control are typically pre-paired. If they do not connect automatically:

1. Ensure both the car and remote control have fresh or fully charged batteries.

The 2-channel remote control allows for basic movement:

• Left/Right: Use the steering control (usually a separate button or joystick) to turn the car left or right while moving.

The Spidey Web Crawler RC Car can reach a maximum speed of 6 km/h. Practice in an open area to familiarize yourself with the controls.

This product can be combined with the RC Spin Techno-Racer (item number 203222007) and the RC Spidey Team Vehicle (item number 203226000). With one remote control, all three vehicles can be controlled by easily switching between models at the touch of a button.
