I had the same problem, so I watched the YouTube video again. You have to squeeze its left hand to activate it. Good luck!

I had the same problem and found I was able to use a remote from a similar Tyco R/C toy. Many of these R/C toys from the same manufacturer and era have compatible control signals and will work with another's controller if they are using the same frequencies. I found a similar 49Mhz Tyco remote from a local thrift store and it works for me, perhaps you can as well..

NICE! got one too! did it come with a receiver in it or were the guts pulled out? most likely going to be easier to hit a hobby shop or ebay and pick a new system out for it because if it did come with a receiver to be reliable you should match brands after that you will need to make sure the crystals are matched for frequency good luck have fun I think some parts for it may be getting hard to find.
