The
Perfect Present This
is a 1/16 scale fully painted and assembled replica of the German Panzer III Tank
featuring radio-controlled of all movement including turret rotation and gun elevation.
It features full suspension and a main gun that fires BB pellets up to 25 meters!
Excellent value for money and a big improvement on the previous non-sound/smoking
version. A great introduction to large scale radio controlled tanks. |

model comes with a dedicated control transmitter unit with its own on/off switch
and an 'On' indicator light. The transmitter requires 8 AA alkaline batteries

Full Movement Control
 |
The
turret is able to turn left and right to almost a complete circle (320 degrees).
Push
the left joy stock left or right to rotate the turret. The
BB gun can be fired at the same time while the tank is moving. The gun can move
up and down at the same time as the turret is turning. |
|
|
The barrel has an approximately 20 degree tilt up & down.
Push
the left joy stock down to move the gun up & down. |
|
|
Independent suspension and
proportional speeds allow it to climb gradient of 35 degrees and overcome most
terrains and minor obstacles. The
right joy stock is used to control all movement including forward, backward, left
turn, right turn, left spin, right spin, backward left turn and backward right
turn.The two trim levers for the right joy stick can be used to fine tune the
joy stick |
 
Independent Suspension
| Exhaust
Smoking Function
| This
tank comes with a built-in smoke generator to provide exhaust smoking function.
The smoke comes out of the rear exhaust when the engine is running. It can be
switched off via a switch underneath the tank. The tank comes with a little oil
in the smoke generator unit. Add a few drops of oil from the bottle supplied into
the tubes inside the exhaust periodically! Working
front and rear lights. |

the bottom of the tank using a small flat screw driver. Turn clockwise to lower
the volume and anti-clockwise to increase the volume !?!

Changeable
Frequency The
operational frequency of each tank can be changed by simply replacing the crystal
on the transmitter and on the tank by a set with a different frequency. The replaceable
transmitter crystal plugs into a socket to the right of the three function buttons.
The receiver crystal is underneath the tank within the battery compartment. The
two crystals must be the same frequency for the tank to operate. Do not operate
tank of the same frequency close to each other or erratic behaviour may result
and cause possible damage to tank and people. With
multiple sets of different frequency crystals, you can run more than one tank
at the same time and battle
with friends for extra fun! Use crystals in the 27MHz range.
Rechargeable
Battery and Charger This
tank comes with a 7.2V Ni-Cad rechargeable battery and charger suitable for use
in the UK. Oversea customers will need a converter/transformer. The charger need
about 7 to 8 hours for a full charge. Running time per full charge can be as long
as 30 minutes depending on pattern of play. | Go
on, treat yourself. You know you want it!
| Warning!
Because of the power of the BB gun, they can cause pain and bruising if exposed
skin is struck at close range and severe eye injury if they strike someone in
the eye. These items are therefore not recommended or children under 18 years
of age without parental supervision. They are sold only to adults 18 years and
over. Wearing of eye protection goggle is also highly recommended. |
