Purchased a new RC Battle Tank, the Leopard II A5 for my son. He was incredibly excited to have his first RC vehicle only to find out something's not right and it doesn't work.

After reading through the brief directions, I'm at a loss. I've charged the battery in the tank, replaced the battery in the remote. Changed and tried all A-B-C channels. I only get lights on the tank when I flip between channels, no other signs of life.

My guess is that it's possibly linked to programming the remote but I've tried nearly everything with that. I've followed the directions, turning the remote on first, then the tank and shutting down in reverse.

I'm at a loss and searching for suggestions. My son is crushed!!

I appreciate any and all ideas!!!<br type="_moz" />
