LiteHawk STING Instruction Manual 

3

Welcome to the World of LiteHawk!

Before we get ready for your first driving adventure, let’s cover the basics together!

STING is a scaled down version of a Monster Racing Truck! With its wide stance and 

oversized tires, your new LiteHawk STING is ready for adventure! The durable chassis is 

designed to protect vital electronics in case of a crash - the electronics are also sealed 

for safety!

Attempting to use your LiteHawk STING without completely reading the manual may 

cause injury to yourself and people in the vicinity, as well as damage to the R/C model.  

LiteHawk R/C Car and Truck Terms 101

Transmitter: The hand-held radio unit that sends throttle and steering inputs to your 

model. Also known as the radio or controller.

Body: The Lexan shell is flexible and painted from the inside, protecting the finish!

ESC: The Electronic Speed Control provides digital proportional throttle control to the 

truck’s motor based upon your throttle input on the radio.

LiteHawk STING - Transmitter Set Up

Grip Radio.

- Make sure the transmitter is turned off.

- Remove the battery cover as shown. 

Phillips screw driver not included.

- Insert 4 x AA batteries, noting correct 

polarity. 

- Replace the battery cover.

- ALWAYS REMOVE THE BATTERIES FROM 

THE TRANSMITTER WHEN YOU 

WILL NOT BE USING YOUR MODEL FOR 

LONG PERIODS OF TIME.

- Dispose and recycle correctly when there 

is no longer life in the batteries, they should 

be disposed of at an approved battery 

recycling center. DO NOT THROW IN 

HOUSEHOLD WASTE!

LiteHawk STING - 2.4 Ghz

Your LiteHawk STING comes with a 2.4 Ghz radio system, which allows you to play 

without the fear of ever losing control! Race or play with countless other drivers. The 

range of your model is approximately 150ft which, due to its small size, is in excess of 

normal vision. The farther the model goes away from you the smaller it will become and 

the harder it will be to determine the model’s direction We suggest you stay at a 

distance between 20ft-50ft, this keeps your STING within a safe operational distance.
