Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Tails RC kart is simple: charge the included battery using the provided cable until fully topped off, then insert it into the vehicle. Ensure the car is switched to the 'On' position using the bottom toggle switch. To care for your RC model, avoid driving through water, mud, or sand, as these can damage the internal electric engine. After use, store the vehicle in a cool, dry place and power off both the remote and the kart to prevent battery drainage. Regularly inspect the wheels for hair or debris that may interfere with steering movement.
