Meet The Toughest, Meanest Truck On The Block — MUDZlLLA’"!
Mudzilla'” is powered by two high torque high output electric motors driving all four wheels. This
gives it incredible power to rumble over any terrain. But, MudzillaW' has a secret weapon inside it's
massive wheels — amazing SPIKES that automatically deploy when ever MudzillaTM needs some
extra traction! These spikes help MudzillaTM travel where no other truck dare to go — over rocks, up
steep hills, even over grassy terrain.
Mudzilla’"I was designed to be extremely tough. But, like all high performance vehicles, you have
to know how to set it up, drive it, and maintain it to get the most out of it. Please review these
instructions carefully and keep them in safe place for future reference.

Vehicle Set Up
You will need to supply a fully charged 9.6-volt Ni-cad battery pack to make Mudzilla'"| run. These
are very commonly available at most toy stores and are made by manufacturers such as Nikko, Radio
Shack, or Newbrightr These will work perfectly for your vehicle. if you purchase a Ni»cad pack from
a hobby store, DO NOT select one with a value greater than 800ma/hour. Using Ni-cad batteries
higher than 800ma/hr may cause premature burn out of your electric motors.
NOTE: Fol/ow ALL instructions provided by the manufacturer for your battery pack and charging unit
exact/y. Be careful to keep the Antenna away from your eyes as you work near the Battery
Compartment.
When the Ni cad battery is charged and allowed to cool, open the battery box by moving the bat-
tery door release COUNTERCLOCKWISE in the direction of the “unlock" position (Fig 3). Slide out
the door and connect and lock the power cables as shown (Fig 4). Replace the battery compart»
rnent door and turn the battery door release CLOCKWISE to the “lock" position.

Transmitter Set Up
Find the metal antenna and screw it into the top of the Transmitter (Fig 5). Also, make sure that
the Antenna in the back of MudzillaTM is fully raised.
Next, open the battery box in the back of the transmitter with a screwdriver and insert a 9V battery
as shown. (Fig 6) Replace the battery door and screw with a screwdriver. Carefully extend the
metal antenna to its full length. You’re MudzillaTM is now ready to drive!
Finding A Good Location To Run The MudzillaTM Vehicle
Mudzillam is designed to work well on indoors and out. Outdoors, Mudzilla7M has a radio radius of
approximately 60 feet. (Fig 7). However, indoors the range may be reduced.
When playing outdoors, take Mudzilla'M to a location that will allow you to SAFELY play with it in a
large open area. A playground, unused parking lot, or open field with a flat surface will work well.
Try to avoid areas that have concrete barriers, walls, or hard obstacles that the vehicle can acci»
dentally hit. NEVER play with your Mudzilla7M in a street where cars, bicycles, people or animals
may be, as this can be highly dangerous.
If you decide to run it indoors, be careful to not hit objects, persons, or animals that may get in the
way.
Fig 7
Operating The Vehicle
Turn the OnlOft Switch on the transmitter to the On position. The
red LED will glow (Fig 8).
Turn the On/Otf Switch on the bottom of Mudzilla'"I to the ON posi»
tion (Fig 9).
Mudzllla'"l does not steer like a normal car. The wheels are
designed to move more like a Tank. This give Mudzilla'"I maximum
traction and the ability to turn in very small areas.
Here are some tips to get Mudzilla'M to move in correct direction:
To make MudziIIaW' go straight forward, move BOTH joysticks for~
ward at the same time (Fig 10).
To make Mudzillam go in reverse, move BOTH joysticks backwards
at the same time. (Fig 11)
To make MudziIIaW' go to the left, move the RIGHT joystick forward
and do not move the LEFT joystick. (Fig 12)
To make MudzillaTM go right, move the LEFT joystick forward and do
not move the RIGHT joystick. (Fig 13)
To make Mudzilla'"| turn in a sharp circle, move BOTH joysticks in
the OPPOSITE direction at the same time (Fig 14) .
How The Spikes Work
The Spikes are designed to extend AUTOMATICALLY if they are in
the "unlocked" position (see the next sec-
tion). They are not controlled by the con»
troller. Instead, the wheels are designed to
"sense" when more traction is needed and
deploy the spikes at the appropriate time.
(Fig 15) Depending on the terrain, you will
see them extend and retract when the vehicle
gets into a tough situation,
Fig 16
Locking And Unlocking The Wheel Spikes
You can choose to have all of the wheels spikes automatically pop out or have any or all remain in
the wheels. This allows you to choose the best performance for your MudzillaTM depending on the
surface you are running. If you are climbing rocks and rubble, you should allow the spikes to
extend. If you are on a flat slick surface, you may wish for the spikes to remain in the tires. The
choice is yours.
To allow the spikes to extend, In right side wheels PRESS IN and ROTATE the Wheel Spike Lockout
COUNTERCLOCKWISE and release (Fig 16). In left side wheels PRESS IN and ROTATE the wheel
Spike Lockout CLOCKWISE and release.
To keep the spikes from extending, In right side wheels, PRESS IN and ROTATE the Wheel Spike
Lockout CLOCKWISE and release. In left side wheels PRESS IN and ROTATE the wheel Spike
Lockout COUNTERCLOCKWISE and release.
NOTE: You must do this for EACH wheel that you want to effect You can make all four or any of
the four wheels act differently if you wish.
Going Out Of Range
If your Mudzilla'M goes out of effective range of the Transmitter, the vehicle will automatically shut
the electric motors off. You will not have control of the vehicle until you get back into range.
NOTE: Radio range will vary depending on where you run your vehicle. lfyou are in an area of high
radio "noise" {such as a power transformer, overhead electric lines, or large metal structures), your
range may be greatly reduced.
Important Tips On Cleaning Your MudziIIaT"
Vour Mudzilla‘M will certainly be doing some dirty jobs as you drive it in all sorts of off road areas.
Naturally, you want to keep your vehicle looking shiny and new! Here are some tips:
IMPORTANT: Always REMOVE the Ni-cad Battery FIRST before doing any cleaning of the vehicle.
NEVER put too much water on Mudzilla'M or "dunk” it in water. Do not use any "spray" cleaners
as this may damage the electronic circuits.
Instead, clean the body with a damp cloth and wipe any moisture dry. Avoid water going into any
cooling slot or holes in the bodywork.
Removing Mudzillam’s Tires For Cleaning
To clean MudziIIaTM's tires, you need to remove them and clean them separately from the body.
Here‘s how:
Removing the Wheels
1) Pull off the Tire Removal Tool from the Battery door compartment door (Fig 17).
2) Turn your Mudzilla'“ vehicle upside down so you can see the axle area between the wheels and
the chassis.
3) Slide the Tire Removal Tool over the axles to push out the RETAINER CLIPS (Fig 18).
4) Slide the wheel off of the Axle. BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOOSE THE CLIPSA Replace the tool
back onto the Battery Compartment door for safe keeping.
You can now wash the tires under gently running water. Shake any water out as best as you can
and dry the wheel with a paper towel.
Replacing the Wheels
1) Check to see that the rotation of the wheel in the correct
direction. Look PRINTING at the inside of the tire to help you
determine which way is correct (Fig 19)
2) Using your fingers, place the clip In the correct position on the
axle and snap it into place (Fig 20).
3) Repeat for all tour wheels.
Be Careful With Water And Your Mudzillaf"!
The Mudzillam is designed to allow a very limited amount of water to make contact with it from
mud, grass, and damp areas. However, IT IS NOT A BOAT OR SUBMARINE. Do not drive it through
water or mud puddles of any kind. Do not place it under a water faucet to fill the tank. Do not
wash the vehicle with a hose. Quickly wipe or blow away any water that may drip onto the vehicle.
Keep all liquids from entering the cooling slots by the motor under the car.
Special Notes About Ni-cad Battery Pack
The 9.6 Volt Ni-cad battery pack will last about 10 to 20 minutes in normal continuous play pro-
vided the Ni»cad batteries are in good operating condition and were charged properly. The differ-
ence will depend on how hard you drive the vehicle and the battery condition.
If you use a brand new Ni~cad battery pack for the first time, the run time may be significantly
less. This is normal. Ni-cad batteries may take a few charges and complete discharges until they
reach their maximum energy potential.
When the Ni-cad battery pack is in use, they will get warm to the touch. THIS IS NORMAL. It is
also normal that they will become warm when being recharged.
Ni»cad batteries will only be rechargeable for a limited amount of times. Normally, you can charge
and discharge them about 1000 times. To help ensure their maximum life and efficiency, always
wait until the batteries have cooled before using them or recharging them.
Run the batteries completely down before recharging them. This will allow them to recharge to their
peak performance.
ALWAYS comply with the instructions of the manufacturer of your battery pack fully‘ Always dis-
pose of them in a safe and environmentally correct manner.
