WHAT TO DO IMMEDIATELY AFTER UNBOXING
"Two Minute Test Drive"
Immediately after unboxing, the "two minute test drive" is used 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. This is covered in the manual, but here is the step by step in more detail:
1) Unbox the tank and place it on the ground exactly as it arrives out of the box. Do not attach any
accessories yet or unbox the boxes of parts.
2) Insert 6 AA batteries into the radio. 1.5V alkaline or NiMHs are recommended.
3) Locate the battery, it will have a storage charge on it that should be enough for a few minutes of easy
driving.
4) Insert the battery into the battery bay under the tank.
5) Plug the battery into the tank's connector.
6) Turn the radio on via the sliding switch in the center of the radio between the two control sticks.
7) 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)
8) The tank's headlight will slowly flash. This tells you that the system is armed and ready to go.
9) Press the "Lock" button on the far right of the radio. This is the “ignition”. The tank will roar to life!
10) Press the "S" smoke button to turn smoke on and off. Note that it may take a minute or so for the
smoke to heat up.
11) 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. Select a volume you like.
12) Press the "G" and "K" buttons at the same time to cycle through four different sound sets. Leave it at
the sound set you like, the radio will remember this setting the next time you turn the tank on. You can
reset it at any time.
