How to Use an Airsoft Tank

Airsoft tanks are life-like scale models of tanks used during combat over the last century. Made by Heng Long, a Chinese manufacturer, these tanks are designed to move in all directions and roll over even the toughest terrain. Once you've mastered the controls, you'll feel like a tank operator in one of the world wars. Airsoft tanks are as realistic as they come, complete with ammunition. Set up your battlefield and commence the attack with an Airsoft tank.

Instructions

- 1
  Load the batteries in your remote control and your Airsoft tank. The remote control takes eight AA batteries, while the tank takes a 7.2 volt Ni-Cd battery. The location for these two devices are the back and the underside, respectively. Turn the switch on the remote "on" first, then turn the tank "on."
- 2
  Familiarize yourself with the remote control. There are two circles on the left and right sides with a lever that moves 360 degrees. The right-hand side controls your tank's directional movement, while the left-hand side controls the turret and gun control.
- 3
  Practice moving your tank with the right-hand side controls. Pushing the lever up moves the tank forward, while pushing it straight back moves the tank backwards. If you push the lever into the 1 o'clock position, your tank would make a right turn and if you pushed it into the 11 o'clock position, your tank would make a left turn. To make backwards left and right turns, push your lever in the 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock positions, respectively.

  Press the "G" button at the bottom of your remote control to simulate a shooting sound and press the "K" button to simulate a cannonball sound.
- 5
  Push the right control stick to the 3 o'clock position to perform a "super right spin," and push the stick to the 9 o'clock position to perform a "super left spin." These super spins are when the two caterpillars move in opposite directions, making the turn possible.
- 6
  Use the left control lever to control the turret and the gun on your tank. Press the lever to the 9 o'clock position to turn the turret to the left and press it to the 3 o'clock position to turn it to the right. Pressing the lever either 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock brings the gun up or down, respectively. You can also shoot BBs from the gun by pressing "BB SHOOT" button on your joystick.
