Setup, Compatibility & Care
Charging: Connect the provided USB charging cables to the cars and a compatible power source. Charging takes 30 minutes for a full 15 minutes of runtime.
Track Assembly: Snap the crash barriers into your desired configuration. Ensure the surface is debris-free to maintain traction for the small tires.
Controller Pairing: Ensure fresh AAA batteries are inserted into the controllers. Turn on the cars using the integrated on/off switch to establish the 2.4 GHz link automatically.
Care: Keep the cars clean by wiping them with a dry cloth. Avoid exposing the internal electric engines to water or excessive dust, as small components can clog. Always store the cars and track pieces in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the plastic integrity.
