See how in our videos, I am able to coordinate both sticks with differing speeds of input.

Notice that all the controls are proportional, meaning that you can do them slowly or quickly. Note, always point the barrel away, just in case there is still a BB in there from the factory testing.ġ6) Drive the tank forward and back with the right stick forward and back, and turn right and left with the right stick left and right. You don't need to have an Airsoft BB loaded. You can reset it at any time.ġ3) Press the 'K' and 'S' buttons at the same time as proscribed in the manual at the same time to cycle through the four levels of track recoil.ġ4) Press the machine gun button and verify that the machine gun sound and LED fires.ġ5) Hold down the machine gun button and press the shooting button at the same time to toggle the Airsoft firing sequence.

Leave it at the sound set you like, the radio will remember this setting the next time you turn the tank on. Select a volume you like.ġ2) Press the 'G' and 'K' buttons at the same time to cycle through four different sound sets. Note that it may take a minute or so for the smoke to heat up.ġ1) Press the 'V' volume button several times and observe how each press makes the volume louder and louder, until it turns the sound off, then begins the cycle again. The tank will roar to life!ġ0) Press the 'S' smoke button to turn smoke on and off. This tells you that the system is armed and ready to go.ĩ) Press the 'Lock' button on the far right of the radio.

1.5V alkaline or NiMHs are fine.ģ) Locate the battery, it will have a storage charge on it that should be enough for a few minutes of easy driving.Ĥ) Insert the battery into the battery bay under the tank.ĥ) Plug the battery into the tank's connectorħ) Turn the tank on (there's an On/Off switch under the tank, or in the case of the Tiger 1, it's under the driver's hatch as seen in its Build Overview video)Ĩ) The tank's headlight will slowly flash. Don't attach any accessories yet.Ģ) Insert 6 AA batteries into the radio. This is covered in the manual, but here is the step by step in more detail:ġ) Unbox the tank and place it on the ground exactly as it arrives out of the box.

Essentially, you want to verify that everything works exactly as the tank arrives out of the box, before you start applying the decals, cosmetic plastic accessory parts, opening the bag of BBs, etc. The idea is fairly straightforward, as I cover in the voiceover portion of most of the tank videos. The 'two minute test drive' is shown in some of the videos, and in others it was edited out.
