⚠️ Cautions:

• When turning on power, the remote controller should be first turned ON. When turning off power, the tank should be first turned OFF. Otherwise, the tank may not function normally and may suddenly rush forward.
• If the remote controller is too close to the tank or its antenna touches other articles, the tank may not be properly controlled.
• If the tank is used indoors, controlling range of radio signals may be shortened.
• If the tank is within 1m away from the controller, please shorten the antenna.
• Do not try to force running parts, such as wheels, caterpillar or turret or gun to a sudden stop. The BOOST button functions only when the tank is running forward or backward. (It does not function when the tank is turning.)
• If the gun hits something when moving, it may become bended and unable to shoot.

Cautions:

• Do not try to press the running buttons when the tank is on an even surface or a surface with excessive resistance, or when the caterpillars get loose or entangled with something. Otherwise, the chassis or the motor may be damaged.
• In the event that the caterpillar gets loose, any forced movement may cause it to break. Correctly reassemble the caterpillar before you try to operate it.

4 HOW TO OPERATE

1. When Ⓧ is pressed once in normal operation state, the PROG indicator turn red and the Headlight and the Rearlight on the tank start to flash continuously, indicating a programming state. The player can now use function keys in a desired sequence to program moves of the tank. After the programming, press Ⓧ to set the program, and the tank can then move according to the program.If Ⓧ is pressed when the tank is performing programmed moves, the tank will stop all moves and the program is stored.At this time, if the player press Ⓧ once again, the tank will repeat the program that has just been edited, while use of other function keys will initiate a new programming to overwrite the existing program. The player can use Ⓧ to switch the tank back to normal state. The PROG indicator will turn yellow accordingly and the Headlight and the Rearlight on the tank will both flash once.

1. There are six DEMO programs preset in the toy available for use by the player. To use the preset programs, the player can press down and one corresponding key of the 6 direction keys at the same time.

In normal state, pressing 🔒 and one of the six direction keys at the same time will switch the tank to DEMO state and to perform the preset program. The tank will return to normal state after finishing all moves in the program. But the player can also use 🔒 to terminate the program and switch the tank back to normal state.

DEMO (The 6 DEMO programs are as follows:)

1. The remote controller and the tank both have a Channel switch. The player can shift the switch to choose a proper channel between 3 channels, 0, 1, and 2. Once the channel is set on the tank, the tank can only accept control signals sent from a remote controller whose channel is also set to the same. (For example, if the Channel switch on the tank is set to 1, the Channel switch on the remote controller should also be set to 1. Otherwise, the player will not be able to control the tank.) This special function makes it possible for some tanks to play on the same ground at the same time.

Cautions

1. Fast flash and slow flash: If both the Headlight and the Rearlight flash slowly (about 2Hz), it means that tank lacks power and the batteries need to be replaced. If they flash fast, it means that the tank has entered programming state.
2. The remote controller is powered by one PV laminated cell.
3. The tank is powered by one group of 9.6V rechargeable batteries.

5 HOW TO CONTROL SUPER SPINS

What is "Super Spin"? A kind of spin of the tank performed by controlling the two caterpillars to run at the opposite directions.

Super Left Spin Press the LEFT TURN and the BACKWARD RIGHT TURN buttons. Press at the same time PS FORWARD PS PS BACKWARD PS Super Right Spin Press at the same time PS FORWARD PS PS BACKWARD PS Press the RIGHT TURN and the BACKWARD LEFT TURN buttons.

Warning

When control is interfered by other radio waves or the control signals are not strong enough, the tank may not act correctly and may shoot accidentally. Immediately stop tank running and shooting in such circumstances. (Remember to turn off the switch inside the turret and put the protective cap onto the gun muzzle.)

Caution

Whenever the turret turns to its limit at the back of the tank, the clutch functions and prevents further turning of the turret. It's normal phenomenon. Do not try to force the turret to turn any further to avoid damage.

Caution

The maximum shooting range of the RC tank is 25m, which may differ according to actual shooting conditions, such as vertical angle of the gun and wind speed.

Warning

● Shooting can only be carried out in a safe environment.
● People in the shooting spot should all wear goggles.
- Sometimes bullet remains inside the tank but you think no bullet remains. It's dangerous because the bullet may be shot out accidentally.
- After use, remember to put the protective, cap onto the gun muzzle, turn off the main switch and the shooting switch on the tank remove BB bullets and batteries, and store, them in a safe place.

Caution

Turret should stay horizontal when shooting.

According to the design of the turret, if the left side or the back side of the turret is lower than their counter sides, bullets can not be loaded and shooting becomes impossible.

6 HOW TO CONTROL TURRET
First turn on the remote controller then turn on the tank when turning on power. Sequence for turning off power is the opposite.

Turret Left Turn Press the button for turret to turn left. Turret Right Turn Press the button for turret to turn right. ※The clutch functions whenever the turret reaches this limit and it cannot turn any further.

Gun Up/Down Press the GUN UP/DOWN button. ※ The gun can continuously and alternately move up and

Caution

To prepare for shooting, load in BB bullets as shown in 7P⑦, turn on the shooting switch and remove the protective cap.

● Shooting with protective cap on the gun muzzle may cause damages to the inner mechanism.

To shoot, press the BB SHOOT button and the FIRE button at the same time. Press at the same time Press BB SHOOT button. Caution The gun cannot shoot when the main switch and the shooting switch inside the turret are set to OFF.

※ Shooting continues when the buttons are kept pressed.

Suggestion: Operations can be combined to simulate actual tank moves.

Run + Turret Turn + Gun Up/Down = The tank runs with turret turning and gun moving up and down

Examples Run + Turret Turn + BB Shoot = The tank runs with turret turning and gun shooting BB bullets.

Turn + Turret Turn + BB Shoot = The tank turns with turret turning and gun shooting BB bullets.

※You can think out other new combinations.

Caution

Combinations consume more battery power.

Caution

● Once shot out, the BB bullet becomes dirty and not suitable for reuse.

• If BB bullets with dirt or tiny sand on are used in the gun, the gun barrel may easily be blocked and the inner mechanism may be damaged.
• Improper loading of bullets may lead to malfunction.
• If the bullets used weigh over 0.2g, they won't be shot far enough.

- If dirt or dust gets into the bullet hatch, the rolling of the bullets may be disturbed, making shooting difficult or even impossible. In such circumstances, turn the tank up side down for the bullet hatch to face down and slightly shake for the dirt or dust to fall out. If necessary, you can also remove the cover of the turret and blow into the gap to clean up the dirt before loading in bullets.

7 HOW TO LOAD BB BULLETS

① Open the bullet hatch and put in about 40 BB bullets.
