Quick instructions:
Charge the drive battery by connecting it to the charging adapter and connecting it to a power source. If the model is equipped with a charging connector, you do not need to remove the battery, you can charge it directly in the model. Insert the appropriate number of AA batteries into the transmitter. Insert the charged drive battery into the tank and connect it to the power connector. Turn the transmitter ON first, and then turn the model ON. Press the start button on the transmitter, or switch the start lever (depending on the transmitter version). A start sound will be heard and the model is ready to drive after a while (about 20-30 seconds). The left stick controls the turret rotation right-left. The left stick, pressed forward-backward, controls the cannon raising-lowering and firing. In the BB version of the tank, depending on the transmitter version, it is sometimes necessary to simultaneously hold down the safety button on the top of the transmitter when firing the cannon. The right lever smoothly controls the model's movement forward-backward-right-left-turning. The function buttons or switches, depending on the transmitter version, control the volume of sounds, machine gun shooting, cannon shooting (press the upper right button and push the left lever forward), engine start-stop and sound set. After the ride, always turn the model OFF first and then the transmitter OFF. Always recharge the battery before putting it away. If the battery is not going to be used for a long time, it is necessary to check and recharge it continuously.

Explanation of abbreviations:
The BB model is equipped with a 6mm plastic bullet firing mechanism, which is usually blocked for safety reasons.
The IR model is equipped with a flash unit in the barrel of the cannon, a slide mechanism and has the option of connecting a combat IR module (sold as a separate accessory).
The IR+BB model is equipped with a firing mechanism, which is usually blocked for safety reasons. It has the option of connecting a combat IR module, which is part of the set. It usually does not have a functional cannon slide mechanism.
RTR - a ready-to-drive model, the set includes a model and a transmitter (usually a battery and a charging adapter).
BS - the model includes a Battle System - an infrared "cannon" and a hit sensor. It is used to simulate tank battles. A strong source of IR radiation (such as the sun) can interfere with the function of the IR combat module.
PRO - the model contains various combinations of tuning parts, such as metal belts, a metal chassis tub, or better gearboxes or electronics.

ATTENTION! This RC tank is not a toy, but a more sophisticated, functional model that behaves similarly to a real tank. Due to its realistic parameters, if it is not properly assembled and operated correctly, it can cause injury to you, or to a spectator, or damage property. When using the model in the BB version (shoots 6mm plastic bullets), always follow basic safety rules. Never leave the model unattended in the presence of children under 14 years of age. If you unlock the firing mechanism, always wear protective glasses, as should any spectators. The fired bullet can bounce and damage your eyesight! Never aim and shoot at people or animals! Check the target area before firing. Never look (or the spectator) into the barrel of a tank with the firing mechanism unlocked, even if you think the magazine is empty. The user of the model, not the manufacturer or seller, is responsible for any damage or injury caused!

The model is intended for driving indoors or outdoors on a suitable dry surface. It is not waterproof or water-resistant, it cannot drive in water and snow (after melting it is water). It can drive on concrete, asphalt, solid clay surfaces, gravel, sand, thick mud and drive on wet surfaces (very shallow puddles). Be careful, pebbles, clay, or other objects accumulated in parts of the chassis can cause the track to break or damage the drive. Driving on grass is not recommended, there is a risk of overloading the engines and burning them, or damage to the electronics not covered by the warranty. High "hairy" carpets are also unsuitable surfaces. Driving on public roads and other places with car traffic is prohibited. The tracks can come off during driving due to the action of dirt collected in the drive, or due to the action of friction forces when turning on a non-slippery surface. Falling or breaking of the belts is a common occurrence in a tank model and is not a manufacturing defect. Regular maintenance of the model is recommended.
The model is intended for modelers over 14 years of age.

The warranty is 24 months and covers manufacturing defects discovered immediately during the test run of the model, or manifested within a short period of time after the start of operation. The warranty does not cover wear and tear on functional parts caused by the operation and use of the model. The extent of operational wear is not defined and may be different for metal and plastic parts of the model. The warranty does not cover damage caused by impacts, overloading of mechanical or electronic parts of the model, incorrect wiring, overheating, getting wet or neglected maintenance.

Our test: This model from the Chinese manufacturer Heng long (packaged under the brand Torro, or Amewi, or another) is also among the best products from this manufacturer in the basic version. The model is equipped with a new 5th generation multifunctional unit HL.TK-7.0, which has an integrated receiver, sound module and mix-module ensuring the movement of the model. Compared to the previous version, this is again a significant improvement in all MFU functions. The movement characteristics of the model itself, sounds and lights have visibly improved. Finally, it can be said that the sound of the engine is not exactly toy-like. The model is controlled by a standard "tank" transmitter. I give the manufacturer a great idea: On the inside of the battery compartment door there is a "pull" with instructions for controlling the functions. The model is equipped with an IR module, so it is also possible to do tank battles. The sensor mushroom is connected via a cable under the hatch and is simply placed on top of the tower and held in place with a magnet. A clear table of what each lever does. Among other improvements, I also count the fact that the manufacturer abandoned the old Tamiya connector on the battery and replaced it with a modern XT-60. The Li-Ion battery is also standard, which is good. The only thing that spoils the joy is the included USB "charger", which allows you to charge the battery, but I recommend throwing it away and using only a high-quality programmable model charger. After unpacking, the model must be "decorated" with a large number of external plastic and metal details. In the end, you will get a truly remarkably nice model of this tank! The manufacturer cleverly hid the battery compartment in front of the turret, so the model does not need to be disassembled or turned upside down when replacing the battery. It is just a little inconvenient that it is necessary to turn the turret sideways and, most importantly, you have to discover the battery compartment cover lock hidden under the driver's hatch. The power switch is also funny hidden under the driver's hatch. My final assessment is that this model is one of the best RC tank models on the market. To cool down the enthusiasm, I would like to point out that the electronics still do not reach the level of the Japanese Tamiya or the German Elmod, but it is the best Chinese MFU so far. If you are a beginner RC tank modeler, then this is a fully sufficient electronics that will make you happy.
However, if you are one of the more demanding modelers, or fans of high-quality tank models, we recommend that you completely replace this Chinese electronics with the German Elmod Fusion X using the Carson Reflex 6k transmitter. With this German electronics, you will get a model at an even higher and more realistic level.
