I’ve tried pairing to the the remote but it just won’t do anything. I’ve got power on both the tank and the remote but it’s not doing anything ... I’ve opened both up but I’ve no idea what I’m looking for ...

Help!

Er....have you tried pressing the 'engine' start button?
What version of HL's electronics do you have in there? It would help to know :)

hi i dont know what version you have
have a look on the under side where the battery is see if there is a black button if so
follow this
turn on the radio and the tank
press and hold the start button on the radio
press the small black button in the base of the tank in the battery box

if you look at the left hand side of the board there is a 3 pin wire track that back you should find a black button in your battery box of the tank
turn on the tank
and radio
press and HOLD the start button on the transmitter press the binding button that you found in the battery box on the tank
it will bind and start
