Hi I just brought a new Tiger tank 1 1/16 scale remote controlled tank for his birthday.

Pulled it out of box put it together put new batteries in the controller and no Power???????
Checked that they in right way, made sure the crystal is pushed in but still nothing?????

Really annoying as it means he cant even use it

Thats a bummer mate......
Have you tried jiggling the on/off switch....? I have found occasionally in the past with H/L tanks which I assume it is, that sometimes if you partly slide the on/off switch across it will come on or as I said even jiggle it a bit as you slide it. Sorry it sound silly but its worth a try at least mate.......

Cheers Ken

Hi there just tried but no luck

hi i know it sound mad but on the hand set press the batt in from side to side some times they don't quite make the contact with the springs and roll them round see if you get the red light to come on

Hi just tried that one to and no luck at all is it likely to be a bad controller they have sent me?

if you have no red light on the hand set then yes it could well be that do you have another one to test it with

Well we tried mate.... Yep sounds like a dud controller.......

Cheers Ken

No dont have a spare one we just managed to get light on remote to come on but now tank still wont move??? lights are flashing on tank but nothing else happening??

press the key mark button on the bottom of the hand set onthe left
