Driving Tips:

For best performance, operate on smooth, dry surfaces. The oversized tires provide traction on various terrains like dirt, grass, or gravel, but extreme conditions should be avoided.
Practice gentle movements with the joysticks to get a feel for the truck's responsiveness.
The 2.4GHz system allows for multiple trucks to race together without interference, up to 100 feet range.
Avoid driving into walls or hard objects at high speeds to prevent damage.

Maintenance

Cleaning: After use, especially outdoors, gently wipe the truck with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not submerge the truck in water.
Battery Storage: If the truck will not be used for an extended period, remove all batteries from both the vehicle and the remote control to prevent leakage and corrosion.
Storage: Store the truck and remote in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Inspection: Periodically check for loose screws or damaged parts. Do not operate if parts are broken.
