welcome to my unboxing of the land Rider
0:11
403 from Arctic hobby which as you may or may not have noticed has a very
0:15
similar logo to Arctic cooling so Arctic hobby has released the land the land
0:21
Rider 403 battle tank so let's see what
0:24
they have to say for themselves leopard tank with authentic design adjustable
0:28
smooth war gun and bullet shooting function yes that's right bullet
0:32
shooting function and realistic sounds
0:36
so here you can see all the different functionality goes forward back right
0:40
left it adjusts the gun up and down and
0:43
to oh to no no wait right left and up and down and it fires phenomenal comes
0:50
with four bullets a 9volt battery a battery pack um a charging cable for
0:55
Arctic hobby charging station a radio control and the tank itself so based on
1:02
the uh fire engine which oh yeah good thinking slick based on the fire engine
1:07
which we've already had a quick look at but I probably won't have released the
1:11
video yet by the time we see the battle tank video uh probably comes with pretty
1:17
much everything you need to get started with your land Rider 403 battle tank
1:23
this thing is so cool look at this
1:27
okay does it get any more badass than
1:32
that I would I would suggest that it
1:36
does not okay let's go ahead and start
1:41
opening this guy up Okay g to undo these seals here I'm
1:48
going to have to S of yeah there we go there we go
1:55
okay there we are so that's how the packaging comes apart at any rate so
2:00
what all we got here here's our battery pack which is uh secured and with uh
2:06
packing tape okay there we are so that looks
2:11
like six ablea cells that are all wired together and whatnot you could probably
2:15
make your own if you wanted but you know wouldn't recommend it unless you don't
2:19
need me to tell you that you could probably make your own so okay let's go ahead and open up that
2:26
so we're going to need this 9vt battery for the yeah
2:30
color matching remote control in authentic
2:35
Army greenness okay so there's that and
2:39
then we have the tank itself which I'm going to have to figure out how to extract so the first thing we find here
2:44
is an antenna which I'm just going to go ahead and going to put in there so that
2:48
it stays up nice and high then we've got this guy whatever this is okay so let's
2:53
we'll have to figure out what that is and then we've got
2:57
bullets yeah yeah
3:00
bullets and then um some kind of
3:04
mechanism that might be for loading the bullets that would be that would be my
3:08
suspicion okay all right what else we got here this rotates you know what
3:12
let's have a look at the accessories
3:16
here I mean how cool of a dad or an
3:19
uncle or a cousin or whoever you are would or I guess mom moms might buy
3:24
tanks for their for their kids but mine never did um how cool would you be if
3:29
you show up with one of these on Christmas morning so it comes with a
3:32
little tank sticker and it comes with instructions so here what okay this just
3:36
shows us how to you know press your thumb on the thing and do the thing um
3:41
how to shoot what else we got here so
3:44
how to install all the batteries how to charge your batteries uh
3:49
actually um you can get a normal charger
3:53
which is just a wallwart and you can charge the battery packs that way you
3:56
can see we already had one going so that we're going to be able to demo this right away uh how to load the bullets so
4:02
you put them in this way and then you use the plunger to push them down and
4:05
how to turn on the remote so I guess it's just a matter of getting it
4:08
extracted from the packaging
4:15
now which I might need a minute to do so bear with me here guys so the battery
4:19
pack gets installed on the bottom we've got that installed you hit the on switch
4:24
and then you're pretty much ready to roll so to
4:27
speak okay so why don't we have have a close look at the tank itself and then
4:32
slick is actually going to be the first one to operate this tank before even I
4:36
get an opportunity I I told him I told him he was allowed to do that oh check
4:39
this out look at this look at this like authentic spring action so you could
4:44
actually in theory roll over something very cool
4:48
okay so the driving ones are actually these ones back here everything else is
4:52
just uh just freewheeling it okay so
4:56
these guys are the drivetrain this one back here what else we got on the bottom
4:59
that's kind of interesting I think that's about it it's of note to me that
5:03
this is actually made of rubber so you're going to have some real traction
5:07
with your battle tank here all right let's have a look at the detailing on
5:10
both sides so you got everything down to like shovels attached here and
5:15
like I don't know what are these smoke grenades I I I don't know anything about
5:20
tanks so I'm just going to get selck to kind of pan here these um like open up
5:25
for some reason maybe that's like a dude goes here and then fires over something
5:30
like I don't know but uh there you go so those open up actually that one opens up
5:34
on the other side as well okay and then we got like some handles and whatnot at
5:39
the front we got like some gear and equipment and stuff check this out check
5:44
out the barrel extension I'm guessing when it fires it actually like recoils
5:48
although I mean if it doesn't I'll forgive it cuz that's pretty elaborate
5:52
but this gun rotates right here this gun on the top rotates around this looks
5:57
like some kind of camera or like a oh that might actually do something cuz
6:01
it's got a light inside it so uh um
6:05
what okay uh the whole thing goes like this I think is what Slick's saying okay
6:09
don't worry about it slick will show you when he's operating it and it'll make me
6:13
feel dumb for not noticing it before okay so there's that more equipment on
6:18
the sides here this thing just generally looks pretty freaking sweet here on the
6:22
back we see the speakers where the sound effects are going to come out of and
6:26
then we've also got a license plate because because if you're driving your
6:30
tank without insurance then you are just
6:33
asking for trouble okay uh we found
6:37
figured out what this is for it's not just a tank picture it is a target so
6:42
we're going to go ahead we're going to put the tank Target right there which
6:47
hopefully will actually stand up for us here if you have to kind of bend it a
6:52
little bit I guess that's understandable on account of they didn't
6:56
really charge you anything for it there we go let's kind of change the balance
7:01
of that there we go okay so the tank Target is up the tank is powered on and
7:05
I'm just going to load her up here and then I'm going to leave it to Slick
7:10
to show you guys how the tank fires its
7:14
gun so let's just put that in there hold on are these covered in anything oh yeah
7:18
these are rubber tipped so they shouldn't really do any damage if they
7:21
if they hit something although I can't imagine it fires that that
7:27
far yeah it doesn't go in very far far so yeah I'm sure I'm sure it's okay does
7:32
it oh hold on oh it's
7:36
springloaded okay so okay over to over
7:39
to
7:43
slick as you guys can see slick is very tall well you can't really see cuz he's
7:47
like hunched over and hiding under his hood but whatever all right slick fire
7:51
the
7:54
cannon that was so cool that was so cool cool wow that
8:00
actually had like some some Force to it
8:03
there that's amazing whoo okay okay hold
8:07
on we better put this on the floor hold on hold on hold on I got it I got it
8:10
okay here we go here we go uh right about now I'm thinking this is okay
8:14
let's let's charge around the tech chips room here let's go go look at it
8:20
go oh way to get the thing
8:25
stuck this must be
8:30
oh hold on hold on okay okay he's showing all the functionality I just wanted him to drive around but I guess
8:34
we should show the functionality okay okay so the gun adjusts up and down show
8:37
me that again okay cool cool rotate the
8:45
turret there we
8:48
go that's pretty cool okay show me some
8:52
sound effects look at that the whole tank
8:57
recoils that's
9:01
ridiculous okay okay drive drive it around drive it
9:06
around please don't drive over that again
9:11
though here take take it out there like drive it here let's go can you go over
9:16
