Driving

Driving an R/C Rock Crawler 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 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.
•
The Rock Crawlers transmission and gearing is set for high torque running and will not give you high speeds. Drive the vehicle slowly by
pulling the throttle trigger slowly and in small increments until you become accustomed to 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.
Once you are feeling comfortable try using reverse.
When you have mastered the basics you will be able to drive in a more controlled fashion and be
able to try your hand at some rock crawling.
