Does anyone else play with scale rc tanks? I was given a 1/24th Heng Long M1 Abrams for a birthday gift and it got me hooked. I got a 1/16 full metal Tiger 1 on the way and will probably get the Tamiya Sherman next. So much fun.. blasting the wife in the ass with pellets and being a backyard tank commander..lol I already have a plan to turn half my back yard into a tank battleground. Geez... some dudes just don't grow up...lol

They shoot 6mm airsoft BBs.  Fun stuff.  The real Japanese ones are expensive.   The Chinese clone ones are pretty cheap.

Have you looked here:

The German Tiger 1 with Smoke & sound and the 

Metal track & gear upgrade is a deal at $149.00 

Way back in about 1973 or so, I built a Tamiya model of a Tiger, with motors and all. Long before cheap RC, this thing had a box with switches for the tracks, and the wires were wrapped in black electrical tape to make a cable between the control box and tank. That thing was the coolest toy in all of E. Orange, where we lived in an apt bldg at the time. Of course, we wrecked it by playing with it too much, some adults were able to fix it a few times, but eventually it somehow didn't survive an airdrop from the roof, with 3 or 4 green army man parachutes attached to it. Go figure. I wish I was 9 years old again

you can get them on ebay for $70-80 and at Walmart for $80

How fast do they do, how hard to the shoot?

Ok, those look awesome...maybe I'll be buying myself a new toy

The Tamiya ones are the real deal scale ones.. http://www.tamiyausa.com/items/radio-control-kits-30/1-16-radio-control-tank-series-33000

They arent as expensive as the site says, usually around $500 for the basic models with out out hop ups.

Looks like you would have to find the older ones that shoot BB's..

Or other brands..

Do some reading on them .. some of them have a buttload of up grades available. I got a Taigen full metal version which is kind of a hot rodded Heng Long with all the Asiatam upgrades already built. I got better motors to install in it though..

The Sherman is the cheapest around 500 but some of the others are around 7-800 for just the tank with no electronics. I've been shopping...lol

The heng long does not have all the upgrades the Taigen has. If you were to add up the cost of the heng long and add the upgrades its more then the Taigen.

 

The heng long has a plastic lower hull. The Taigen has the metal hull and that alone is a 100$ upgrade part

Hmm did not know it was metal hull well more overtime to work now

Good I wanna know how they do in grass

The rinky dink 24th plastic Abrams with flimsy rubber tracks did pretty well in the grass. Got a little loose turning tight but it went good so I would say the heavy metal Tiger w/ metal tracks would rip through it.

When my son was young, I gave him an RC truck for Christmas. Nothing fancy, just a 2 channel Radio Shack special--but I wrapped it up in a box with the wheels just sticking out through slots in the bottom. I pointed it out as the box he should open next, then stepped out of sight and picked up the control. Watching him chase the speeding giftwrapped box all through the house was the highlight of the holiday.
