Using this Sharper Image RC Corvette is a breeze. If you're new to RC cars, start with the arrow buttons on the steering wheel controller. They're simple to use - just press the up arrow to go forward, down to go back, and the side arrows to move left or right. If you're more experienced, hold the steering wheel and use the gravity sensors. Tilt it left or right to turn the car in real - time. When you want to have some fun at night, don't forget to switch on the built - in headlights. They'll light up your path and help you avoid running into things. As for maintenance, keep the car clean. Use a soft cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt. Store it in a dry place when you're not using it. Also, make sure to charge the batteries as recommended to keep the car running smoothly.
