Limited 90-Day Warranty

Battery Notes

• Be sure to set the tank and transmitter to the same band switch position when driving your tank.
• You can race up to six tanks at one time. Be sure you and your friends have different frequencies (27 or 49 MHz) and do not use

the same band switch (A-B-C) position.

• Be sure the tank is not out of the transmitter’s range. The range is determined by  your surrounding and battery strength. 

Obstructions, such as buildings and fences, between the transmitter and the tank reduce the range.

• If someone uses a CB nearby, it might interfere with control of the tank. If this happens, move the tank away from the CB.
• You cannot operate your tank near devices with transmitters that use the same frequency as your tank (27 or 49 MHz).
• The tank has a special circuit to prolong battery life. If you keep the left control trigger in one position for more than 45 

seconds, the transmitter automatically turns off. If this happens, move the control trigger to another position to continue driving.

• If the tank moves slowly after you charge the battery, check the wheel mechanisms for lint, thread, hair and dust.
• When you finish with the tank, place it on the charging stand and replace its clear case. Always hold the stand’s base when you

move the stand. Never hold the clear case.

• Do not remove the tank from the charge stand while the indicator is on.

• Do not drive the tank into people or objects.
• Keep the tank dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry 

immediately.

• Use and store the tank only in room 

temperature environments.

• Handle the tank carefully. Do not drop it.
• Keep the tank away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the tank with a damp cloth occasionally 

to keep it looking new.

• If your tank is not performing as it should, take 

it to your local RadioShack store for 
assistance. Modifying or tampering with the 
tank’s internal components can cause a 
malfunction, invalidate its warranty and void 
your FCC authorization to use it.

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. 

Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, 
alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different 
capacities.

• Never leave dead or weak batteries in the transmitter or charging 

stand.

• If you do not plan to use the tank for several days, remove all the 

batteries from the transmitter and charging stand. Batteries can leak 
chemicals that may destroy electronic parts.

• Do not charge or recharge the tank while it is still on.

• Do not charge the tank’s battery too often. Run the tank until the 

battery fully discharges and the tank stops. Then charge the battery; 
this extends the battery’s ability to fully recharge.

• If the tank runs slowly or does not move at all, recharge the tank.

• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury 

them.

Care & Use

The FCC Wants You to Know

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with 
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of 
the FCC Rules.  These limits are designed to provide rea-
sonable protection against harmful interference in a residen-
tial installation. This equipment generates, uses and can 
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used 
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful inter-
ference to radio communications. However, there is no guar-
antee that interference will not occur in a particular 
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is 
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more 
of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and 

receiver. 

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different 

from that to which the receiver is connected. 

• Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced 

radio/TV technician for help.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires 
that you stop using your radio-controlled vehicle. 
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by 
RadioShack may cause interference and void the user’s 
authority to operate the equipment.
