Maintenance after driving
Proper maintenance is very important. Make sure to always perform appropriate maintenance after driving so that you can enjoy driving without
problems next time.
Completely remove all dirt and debris from the vehicle, especially in the suspension, drive shafts and steering parts. Inspect each part and screw
for loosening, missing or damages.
You should always make sure your wheels are tight and parts move freely after and before use.
France Mode
The Transmitter has a switch labelled “France Mode” “FR-EU”.
Please make sure the “French Mode” switch on the Transmitter is in the “FR” position. The receiver will
ONLY auto-
matically bind with the transmitter if the switch in the “FR” position.
Please note: Switching from or to “France mode” clears the binding settings. Follow the instructions on how to reset
these in these instructions.
Driving
Driving an R/C car can be very difficult to master but here are some basic tips to help you to understand how to use it before you have your first
attempt
•
Drive the vehicle in a very large space, especially until you get the feel of driving the product.
•
Do not run on public streets or highways. This could cause serious accidents, personal injuries and/or property damage.
•
Do not run in water or sand.
•
If you keep pulling the throttle trigger on the transmitter, the vehicle will keep accelerating and run very fast. It is difficult to steer the
vehicle running at high speed until you become used to driving. Drive the vehicle slowly by pulling the throttle trigger to the fullest and
quickly releasing it.
You can turn the vehicle right or left while it is running.
When the vehicle is running toward you, you need to operate the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the operation when the vehicle is
running away from you.
Practice turning the vehicle, referring to the following:
Rather than just paying attention to the direction of the steering wheel, imagine that you are at the centre of the steering wheel, looking ahead of
the vehicle, to turn in the direction you like.
Once you become conformable driving the vehicle, practice driving on a track with cones.
Keep practising until you feel comfortable with the steering, throttle and brake at low speeds.
Once you are feeling comfortable try using reverse.
When you have mastered the basics you will be able to drive at higher speeds in a more controlled fashion.
