These are very commonly available at most toy stores and are made by manufacturers such as Nikko, Radio Shack, or Newbright. 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: Follow 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- ment door and turn the battery door release CLOCKWISE to the “lock" position. Fig 5 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 iv‘rudziiiam 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 Mudzilla'” is now ready to drive! Finding A Good Location To Run The MudzillaTM Vehicle MudzillaTM is designed to work well on indoors and out. Outdoors, MudzillaTM has a radio radius of approximately 60 feet. (Fig 7). However, indoors the range may be reduced. When playing outdoors, take Mudzilla'”I 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 Mudzilla'M 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 0n/0ff Switch on the transmitter to the On position. The red LED wiii glow (Fig 8). Turn the On/Off Switch on the bottom of Mudzilla'"I to the ON posi- tion (Fig 9). MuclzillaTM does not steer like a normal car. The wheels are designed to move more like a Tank. This give Mudzilla'M maximum traction and the ability to turn in very small areas Here are some tips to get MudzillarM to move in correct direction: To make Mudzillaw go straight forward, move BOTH ioysticks for- ward at the same time (Fig 10). To make Mudzilla'M go in reverse, move BOTH joysticks backwards at the same time. (Fig 11) To make Mudzilla’” go to the left, move the RIGHT joystick forward and do not move the LEFT joystick. (Fig 12) To make Mudzilla'M go right, move the LEFT joystick forward and do not move the RIGHT joystick. (Fig 13) To make MudzillaWI 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 .‘ludzil|a"" 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 MudziIIaWI Your 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 Mudzi/la7M 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 Mudzillam's tires, you need to remove them and clean them separately from the body. Here’s how: Removing the Wheels 1) Pull oti the Tire Removal Tool from the Battery door compartment door (Fig 17). 2) Turn your MudzillaW' 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 directiont 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)t 3) Repeat for all four wheels. Be Careful With Water And Your MudzillaT"! The MudzillaTM 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-cao‘ batteries are in good operating condition and were charged property. 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. Trouble Shooting urmcuny Mudzilla'“ does not move. MudziIIaW's spikes do not extend. MudzillaTM did not run more than 5 minutes before significantly slowing down. Mudzilla‘” does not respond well to the transmitter. Mudzilla‘" slows down significantly when i play for about 10 to 20 minutes. Solution 1) Check to see that the transmitter is ON and the LED indicator lit. Replace the 9 volt battery in the transmitter if necessary. 2) Check to see that the Ni£ad battery pack is fully charged. 3) Make sure the antenna on Mudzilla and the transmitter are fully extended. 1) Check to see that the Spike Lockouts are in the correct position. 2) Try to run Mudzilla'"I over tough obstacles. 1) Make sure the batteries were fully charged. 2) Make sure the batteries had a chance to cool down from recharging before using them. 3) If they are brand new batteries used for the first time, try to recharge them again. 1) Move the car to a location that does not have strong radio interference nearby. 2) Make sure the radio antennas are fully upright or extended. This is normal. Remove the Ni—cad battery pack and replace it with a fully charged unit.
