PACK 10

Stage 50

Contains: Smoke Generator Switch, Screws, Treads, Pins.

For this stage, you will need all the parts received, as well as the lower hull, and the track.

The Smoke Generator Switch will fit to the lower hull, which you will receive with Stage 60, so keep these parts to one side for the moment, and refer back to this stage when you fit them.


Insert the smoke generator switch into the slot located next to the rear of the battery box. Insert a screw into the hole and carefully tighten the screw until it is holding the switch board to the post. Don’t overtighten, as that can break the board.

Insert the second screw into the other hole in the board. Carefully tighten the second screw.

Combine the treads supplied with this stage. Engage the new section with the end of your existing track. Place the track on its side and hammer the pins into place.

This stage is now complete. Store the assembly and any remaining parts in a Stage labelled bag.

Stage 51

Contains: Smoke Generator Liquid (bottle), Precision Nozzle

For this stage, you will need all the parts received, the lower hull (received at Stage 60), side cutters, and wheel parts from Stage 6.

The wheel parts from Stage 6 will fit to the lower hull, which you will receive with Stage 60, so keep these parts to one side for the moment, and refer back to this stage when you fit them.

You can choose to prepare the bottle containing the smoke liquid now, or later when it will be used. Use side cutters to remove the tip of the bottle nozzle

Place the precision nozzle onto the nozzle on the bottle. This will allow you to be more accurate when filling the smoke generator. To keep the liquid in the container from evaporating, remove the precision nozzle and place the cap over the bottle nozzle.

Now begin fitting the road wheels. Take the spring from the road wheel set and insert the perpendicular end into the hole in the recess. Place the suspension bar over the spring, Turn the suspension bar clockwise until the stopper is positioned to the right of the one on the hull. Now pass the axle bolt through the hole in the bar.

Secure the bolt by placing a washer onto the free end on the inside of the lower hull, followed by a split washer. Then tighten the nut onto it, using your fingertips. Hold the nut in place with a finger, a wrench or pliers, and tighten the bolt with a screwdriver.

Now place the two halves of the wheel onto the suspension bar. Tighten the washer screw into the hole in the suspension bar to secure the wheel. Press the hub cap into the recess in the centre of the wheel.

This stage is now complete. Store the assembly and any remaining parts in a Stage labelled bag.

Stage 52

Contains: Building Front, Screws

For this stage, you will need all the parts received, the lower hull (received at Stage 60), and the wheel parts from Stage 8.

The wheel parts from Stage 8 will fit to the lower hull, which you will receive with Stage 60, so keep these parts to one side for the moment, and refer back to this stage when you fit them.

Half tighten the six screws into the posts in the rear of the building front, to avoid losing them.

Take the spring from the road wheel set and insert the perpendicular end into the hole in the recess. Place the suspension bar over the spring, turning it clockwise until the stopper is positioned to the right of the one on the hull. Then pass the axle bolt through the hole in the bar. Secure the bolt by placing a washer, a split washer and a nut onto the free end on the inside of the lower hull. Hold the nut in place and tighten the bolt with a screwdriver

Place the inner part of the wheel on the bar, as shown. Then mount the outer part of the wheel. Tighten the washer screw into the hole in the suspension bar to secure the wheel in place. Press the hub cap into the recess in the centre of the wheel.

This stage is now complete. Store the assembly and any remaining parts in a Stage labelled bag.

Stage 53

Contains: Cones, Antenna Base, Nut, Antenna Bottom, Antenna Top

For this stage, you will need the parts received, the turret, the lower hull (received at Stage 60), and the wheel parts from Stage 12

The wheel parts from Stage 12 will fit to the lower hull, which you will receive with Stage 60, so keep these parts to one side for the moment, and refer back to this stage when you fit them.


If you want to install the antenna, remove the gun barrel rotor from the inside of the turret (reverse the steps in Stage 39).

Place the nut from this stage into the hole. Screw the antenna base into the hole behind the turret hatch, while holding the nut in place on the inside.

Carefully connect the two parts of the antenna together. Tighten the antenna into the base to test-fit it. To avoid damaging it, remove it for now. Re-fit the gun barrel rotor

Fit the road wheel set spring into the next hole, then place the suspension bar over it, turning it clockwise until the stopper is positioned to the right of the one on the hull. Pass the axle bolt through the hole and secure with a washer, split washer and nut.

Place both parts of the wheel onto the bar and secure with a washer screw. Press the hub cap into the recess in the centre of the wheel.

This stage is now complete. Store the assembly and any remaining parts in a Stage labelled bag.

Stage 54

Contains: Receiver Box

For this stage, you will need the parts received, the building front, the hull (received at Stage 60) and road wheel parts from Stage 14.

The wheel parts from Stage 14 will fit to the lower hull, which you will receive with Stage 60, so keep these parts to one side for the moment, and refer back to this stage when you fit them.

Remove the four screws from the holes in the back of the front wall. Place the receiver box onto the rear of the wall. The speaker and battery box should be facing away from the wall. Insert the four screws removed in Step 2 into the holes in the box. Tighten the screws just enough to hold the parts together, as you will need to move the box later.

Take the spring from the road wheel set and insert the perpendicular end into the hole of the next recess. Place the suspension bar over the spring, turning it clockwise until the stopper is positioned to the right of the one on the hull.

Pass the axle bolt through the hole in the bar. Secure the bolt by placing a washer, a split washer and a nut onto the free end on the inside of the lower hull. Hold the nut in place and tighten the bolt with a screwdriver

Make sure that the bush hasn’t come out of the inner wheel. Fit the inner and outer wheels together. Tighten the washer screw into the wheel. Then press the hub cap into the recess in the centre of the wheel

This stage is now complete. Store the assembly and any remaining parts in a Stage labelled bag.

Stage 55

Contains: Charger

Note: You will need to source your own plug adapter for the charger, these are available in most supermarkets.

For this stage, you will need the gun, the turret, the spring and the turret base, as well as the screws from Stage 7

Place the spring onto the raised circular projection in the centre of the turret.

Insert the tab at the rear of the recoil mechanism into the hole in the front of the rotor.

Position the two posts on the side of the recoil mechanism into the recesses at the front of turret.

Gather all of the wires together. You may find the following steps easier if you bind them together with an elastic band or masking tape.

Carefully place the turret base onto the bottom of the turret. Pass the cables through the bottom of the base. Align the holes in the base with the corresponding posts in the turret.

Remove the screws holding the turret ring to the turret base. Then remove the ring from the base. Half-tighten the screws from Stage 7 into the five holes in the base. Once all the screws are in position, tighten them fully.

This stage is now complete. Store the assembly and any remaining parts in a Stage labelled bag.
