Cheap tank

My cheap tank just came in from ebay.
Here are some pics with my web cam.

As you can see the controller is smal, but in even in my fairly large hands it feels pretty good. The range on this thing, well, sucs. It also stuters when it starts getting far away. It is alredy duel celled, but it uses to cells about 1/3 of the size of normal bit cells. It goes on pretty steep slopes probably around or steeper that 45. It is powered by two green end ball motors. It can go from carpet to hardwood and yo can't notice a differece. Al in all even with the range problems, for 8 dollars shipped from Honk Kong I think this si pretty good.

EDIT: oh yeah one more thing the controller uses button cells, but they some with it, and it has an external charger.

And another thing is that it will not interfere with other bits even though it is 49 mhz.

That tank looks cheap.

I bought a tank today that sucked so bad that it didn't move no matter what. So I opened it up to have a look see and found a 160mah bat in there. I took it out and tested the bat and it was good. So I'm figuring the motor or motors were duds and returned the tank.
I think I might be dropping some loot on some digi qs.

sessiz, I know it is cheap, i think it was made in some Chineese sweat shop. That is why it only costs 4.75 with 3 dollar shipping.

I have 2 of the "Micro Combat Vehicle" tanks and they're pretty good...good speed good turning they're also the ones with the infra red beams like the digi-q's but they aren't that accurate...At close range it's very very easy to hit the person..at long range it's accurate but it has a big "explosion" range..not like shooting a bomb and it exploding when it hits..The beams bounce of walls for ricochet shots..realistic, no..but it does call this a "feature" in the instructions lol. They were about $15 a piece shipped.
