- Insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment securely.
2. Car Charging
The C66 RC car is powered by a 3.7V 55mAh LiPo battery. It can be charged using two methods:
- Using the USB & Type-C Charging Cable: Connect the provided USB & Type-C charging cable to the car's Type-C port and a compatible USB power source.
- Using the P36 Remote Control: The remote control features an onboard USB-C charging port. Connect the car directly to this port for convenient charging. Ensure the remote control has sufficient battery power.
Charging time is approximately 40 minutes for a full charge.
3. Pairing the Car and Remote
To establish a connection between the remote control and the vehicle:
- Ensure both the remote control and the vehicle are powered on.
- Use the provided pairing pin to press the BIND pin hole on the vehicle.
- The front lights of the vehicle will change from flashing to permanently on, indicating successful pairing.
Operating Instructions
1. Basic Controls
- Steering Wheel: Rotate the wheel on the remote control left or right to steer the car.
- Throttle Trigger: Pull the trigger to move the car forward. Push the trigger away from you to engage reverse.
2. Advanced Control Adjustments (P36 Remote)
The P36 remote control offers several adjustment options to fine-tune your driving experience:
- ST-TRIM (Steering Trim): Adjusts the neutral position of the steering. Use this if the car does not drive straight when the steering wheel is centered.
- TH-TRIM (Throttle Trim): Adjusts the neutral position of the throttle. If the car moves forward or backward automatically when the throttle trigger is released, adjust this trim. Ensure the TH-TRIM arrow is aligned with the center point when powering on the remote.
- Gyro Settings: Adjust the gyroscope's sensitivity to assist with drifting and maintaining control, especially during slides.
- Light Settings: The remote control includes buttons to adjust various light settings, including the chassis LED light (Channel 3).
3. Driving Tips
- The C66 RC car performs best on smooth, flat surfaces like kitchen countertops or hardwood floors.
- Utilize the provided "Circle-keeping practice" small track to hone your drifting skills.
- Experiment with the advanced control adjustments to find the settings that best suit your driving style and the surface.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
- Regularly clean the car to remove dust and debris, especially from the wheels and chassis. Use a soft, dry cloth.
- Avoid using water or harsh chemicals, as this can damage electronic components.
2. Battery Care
- Do not overcharge the car's battery. Disconnect once fully charged.
- If storing the car for an extended period, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to prolong its lifespan.
- Remove AAA batteries from the remote control if it will not be used for a long time to prevent leakage.
3. Body Shell Replacement
The C66 RC car features a DIY removable car shell. To replace the shell:
- Carefully detach the current car shell from the chassis.
- Align the new car shell with the chassis and gently press it into place until it is secure.
Troubleshooting
- Not walking in a straight line: Check if the remote control ST-TRIM is at the center point. Adjust the ST-TRIM to make the car drive in a straight line.
- Automatic forward/backward movement of the car: Align the TH-TRIM arrow on the remote control with the center point while the remote is powered on. Then, turn off the remote control and restart it. Reminder: When starting up, do not touch the throttle trigger with your hands, as this can cause the car to move automatically.
- Car runs unstably or shakes: If the car is unstable, it may deviate due to terrain and speed issues. If the speed is set to 100% (fastest), the car's grip may be insufficient, leading to deviation. Consider adjusting speed settings or driving on a more suitable surface.
- Re-pairing (Re-code): When the remote control and the vehicle are powered on normally, use the matching code to match the BIND pin hole on the vehicle. The front lights of the vehicle will change from flashing to permanently on, indicating that the remote control has successfully paired with the vehicle.
