A dedicated safety switch and rubber barrel plug allow the airsoft function to be disabled when required. The turret rotates 320 degrees and the cannon elevates/depresses by 30 degrees, while topside LEDs indicate IR battle damage for added realism.
Driving performance is confident and manoeuvrable thanks to a multi‑wheel suspension and high‑grip tracks.

Two‑speed throttle control provides the choice of quick manoeuvres or slower, scale‑like movement. The integrated sound system simulates engine, main gun and machine gun effects for immersive play.
