Notes
- This remote control car is only suitable for high-speed driving. At very low speed, the generator may make a strange noise; this is a normal phenomenon.
- The shell is covered with a protective film. If scratches are present, remove the film.
- Original color box may be squeezed during transport.
Battery Use
- Charge promptly when depleted. If completely empty, the battery may not charge.
- Remove the battery from the RC car before charging and disconnect it from the vehicle.
- When not in use, disconnect the battery from the car and store it fully charged.
Protections
- Charging protection: constant current/constant voltage balanced charging; overcharge/overcurrent protection.
- Motor anti-seize protection: overload causes the motor to stop.
- High temperature protection: the drive control circuit stops above the set temperature, and resumes after cooling.
- ESC low voltage power-off: automatic power-off when battery is about 6.3–6.4V to prevent over-discharge.
Q&A
Q1: Why are the tires exposed?
[Special design] The toe grip is strong and not easy to drift, improving stability and tire grip when cornering.
Q2: How to adjust the tire inclination?
Use the trim and throttle fine adjustment buttons on the remote control.
Q3: Missing accessories?
Check the package carefully. If not found, provide a full unboxing video so the warehouse can verify and resolve.
Q4: Remote cannot connect?
Ensure the battery is fully charged, then manually pair the car and remote (see user manual). Testing motherboard voltage helps diagnose.
Q5: Steering works but no forward/reverse?
Confirm the battery is charged; then test motherboard and motor voltage to analyze the issue.
