- The indicator light on the USB cable will illuminate (e.g., red) to indicate charging is in progress.
- Charging typically takes approximately 50-60 minutes. The indicator light will turn off or change color when charging is complete.
Installing Remote Control Batteries
The remote control requires 2x AA batteries (not included).
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
- Open the battery compartment cover.
- Insert 2 AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.

Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
- To power on the car, slide the power switch located on the chassis to the 'ON' position.
- To power on the remote control, slide its power switch to the 'ON' position.
- To power off, reverse these steps.
Pairing
The car and remote control are designed to automatically pair when both are powered on. If pairing does not occur, turn both devices off and then on again, ensuring they are in close proximity.
Driving Controls
The remote control provides full proportional control for precise vehicle manipulation.
- Throttle Trigger: Pull the trigger towards you to accelerate forward. Push the trigger away from you to brake or reverse.
- Steering Wheel: Turn the steering wheel left or right to control the car's direction.
- Trim Adjustments: Use the trim dials or buttons on the remote control to fine-tune steering and throttle. If the car pulls to one side when the steering wheel is centered, adjust the steering trim until it drives straight.
