Charge the receiver battery fully, install AA batteries in the transmitter, and check steering/throttle response before starting.
Prepare the correct petrol + 2-stroke oil fuel mix as recommended for the engine, then fill the fuel tank carefully in a well-ventilated area.
Turn on the transmitter first, then power the vehicle receiver, prime the fuel system, engage choke if the engine is cold, and pull-start the engine.
Allow the engine to idle briefly for warm-up, then operate smoothly during initial runs to help proper engine break-in.
After use, switch off the engine, clean dust/debris, inspect fasteners, clean the air filter, and empty remaining fuel if storing long-term.
