How to use it
Assembly is required before operation. The clear polycarbonate body requires painting with suitable RC polycarbonate paint, and decals are applied after painting. You will need hobby side cutters, screwdrivers, modelling tools, and RC assembly equipment. Install a compatible electronic speed controller, steering servo, receiver, and charged 7.2V battery pack before use. Bind the radio system, check steering and throttle operation, and perform a range test before driving. After each run, clean the chassis, inspect tyres and suspension components, and store batteries according to manufacturer recommendations for maximum longevity. Paint is required. Glue is generally not required for major assembly, although tyre preparation adhesives may be used depending on racing preferences.
