Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Turn on the tank first, then switch on the transmitter. The indicator light on the transmitter should stabilize, and the tank may make a startup sound to indicate a successful connection.
Connect the battery to the provided USB charger ensuring correct polarity. The charger's LED usually lights up red while charging and turns off or green when the battery is fully charged (approx. 4 hours). Do not leave charging batteries unattended.
Many 1/16 scale Heng Long tanks feature a smoke generator. You must add a small amount of smoke oil to the designated tube (often in the exhaust area) and activate the smoke function via the remote. Do not run the smoke unit without oil to avoid damage.
After operating a Heng Long RC boat, remove the hatch cover and disconnect the battery. Check for any water ingress and dry the interior thoroughly with a cloth to prevent corrosion of electronic components.
Check if the battery is fully charged. If the engine sound is on but tracks won't move, ensure the gearing is not obstructed and the transmitter trim settings are neutral. On newer boards (TK 6.0/7.0), ensure the safety startup sequence has been completed if applicable.
