Hi guys
My awsome wife bought me a german tiger 1 for my birthday 1/6 scale
Fantastic build quality but the instructions are rubbish
Does anyone here have one

I've tried getting my head round the installation

Firstly

Installing the oil for smoke, is that the really tiny tube at the back of the tank
They have provided what looks like a ariel for the tank ... Is that suppose to clip on the brass like fitting on the rear as there is no indication on the box of a ariel on the tank. It looks like a longish steel wire that spirals at the bottom and comes to a ring at the top.
Random bits of plastic ... Have no idea what they are
Can I leave the crystals as they are on the remote and tank.

I've got the battery on charge now will do so for about 4 hours... Is that sufficient
Any advice really... What nots and what to do before use.

I'm really excited about this but a little disappointed about the explanation of the tank and how to properly operate it

Try looking here for help, they seem to know a lot about tanks and Heng Long in particular!!

Thank you ever so much
That explained so much
I'm going to print the page off and throw the useless instruction manual away

God bless
