2 Radio Controlled Infra-red fighting tanks

2 Radio Controlled Infra-red fighting tanks 




These two small tanks are a lot of fun, each one has a sensor on-top which picks up if you get shot, 1 shot from the main gun, or 5 from the quick fire machine-gun will result in the loss of a life, 4 lives gone and your tank will shut down  and you will be dead!
•    Speed
3/5

Speed and movement isn’t the main aim of these tanks, it’s all about the fight so don’t be expecting to be zooming around, but you will get decent speed for a tank, realistic track driving and speed.
•    Handling
 4/5

Good handling, with the two slightly different tanks they each have slightly different abilities making this pair of tanks a bit more like a real life fight, the slightly larger one has that bit more speed, but cannot turn as quickly and easily, and the smaller one has less power, but more control but both tanks have an amazing ability to climb over things much better than many much bigger tanks.
•    Looks
4/5

Decent enough looks, not the most indepth and detailed tanks, but they looks good enough, and you will probably need to buy a scale model to get better detail, very good.
•    Price
3/5

Could be a little cheaper, but with the price of other Rc/toys about this is actually a pretty good price especially for what your getting, double the normal, two tanks! What price could you put on 2 kids quiet and having fun together?!
•    Control Range
4/5

Nothing to complain about, because these tanks run on infrared  the range isn’t going to be massive, but as infrared goes it’s pretty damn good!, we didn’t have any problems on our normal testing ground
•    Battery Usage
5/5

Each tank has it’s own rechargeable battery pack and plug in charger which last a long time, and charge up reasonably quickly and these tanks have 4 batteries in each controller which like most controllers will last and last and last!
•    Controller
4/5

Colour coded with the tank which I think is a nice little touch, good feel in the hands and nice controls, ridged directional sticks to give you that bit more grip, and nice easy to reach and use buttons for the turret control and firing mechanism 
•    Gun
5/5

very fine guns on these tanks, each one has a realistic sounding gunshot and even has recoil from each shot and really does give a deadly feel to each shot, and whilst the turret is spinning you can use the same firing buttons as a machine gun.
•    Over view
Overall a lot of fun, looks really good, great guns, really good interaction with the other tank, amazing climbing and driving ability, good price, I’d recommend them, excellent.  4 out of 5

  2. Generally i tend to charge everything over night, it gets charged, i'm sleeping so i'm not waiting for it and then ya get a good hour or so playing time, depending on how vigorously you use it obviously. But a good hour or two charging should give you near enough full charge.
