2. BB Shooting

3. Infrared Combat
An infrared combating system is integrated, allowing multiple tanks to engage in simulated tank battles without radio interference. Utilize the Infrared Combat Transmitter and Receiver for this feature.
4. Sound and Smoke Functions
The 7.0 mainboard provides two selectable sound options. Each action, such as driving and firing, is accompanied by realistic tank mechanical sounds. Emulational LED tank lights are also present. The smoking generator produces smoke, which increases as the tank moves faster. Remember to add smoke liquid as instructed in the Setup section.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Regularly clean the tank's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals, which can damage electronic components or paintwork.
2. Track Maintenance
Inspect the metal tracks for any debris or damage after each use. Ensure the tracks move freely and are not obstructed. Lubricate moving parts if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines.
3. Storage
When not in use, store the tank and controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries from both the tank and controller if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
Troubleshooting
- Tank not responding: Ensure batteries are fully charged and correctly installed in both the tank and controller. Verify that the controller is properly paired with the tank.
- Smoke generator not working: Check if smoke liquid has been added to the reservoir. Ensure it's not overfilled. If the issue persists, the generator may require servicing.
- BB pellets not firing: Confirm that BB pellets are loaded correctly and the firing mechanism is not jammed.
- Unusual sounds or movements: Discontinue operation immediately. Check for any visible damage or obstructions to the tracks or internal components.
