PREP ARE THE TRANSMITTERS

TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONS

Push both transmitter
sticks forward to start the
tank moving forward.

Push the left stick
forward; this will make
the tank turn right.

Pull the left stick
back; this will make
the tank turn left.

Pull the right stick
back; this will make
the tank turn right.

FIRING THE CANNON: Push the CANNON “FIRE”
button located on the right side atop your
transmitter in order to attack your opponent. The
tank will recoil as it fires.

SHUT DOWN: Push the “Engine Start”button again
and you will hear your tank's engine wind down to
a halt. Turn off the power to the tank first and then
the transmitter. (in that order)

Push one stick forward and pull the other stick back for lightning-fast

turnabout maneuvers.

1.Fully extend the transmitter antenna.

2. Turn the power on to the transmitter
first and then the tank. (in that order)

3. Push the transmitter button marked
“Engine Start” and the tank will lurch
forward as the tank roars to life.

Push the right stick
forward; this will make
the tank turn left.

Pull both transmitter
sticks back to start the
tank moving backward.

Each tank is equipped with an infra-red cannon which is located on the turret next
to the tank's cannon. Each time the “FIRE” button is pressed, the tank will recoil
as it shoots an invisible infra-red beam. The “HIT SENSOR” on top of your
opponent's tank is your target.Each time a tank receiv es damage you will hear the
sound of crunching, twisting metal as the tank shakes violently. When this
happens the tank will be disabled for 3 to 5 seconds .After three such hits the tank
becomes completely disabled and needs to be re-started before continuing.

Remember!

• Your tank's infra-red beam widens and weakens the further you are away from
your opponent. In battle you will want to get close and blast away every chance
you get!

• Light does not travel through objects so you'll want an unobstructed line of fire
to your opponent.

• Set up obstacles to hide behind, practice maneuvering and firing on the run.
These are some of the ways to put victory within your grasp!
