Order RC US M1A2 Abrams Tank Remote Control Tank 1:24


This is a great detailed RC Tank. Except for one flaw... It's missing it's seventh rolling wheel! But obviously the company's using the same track system for all thier 1:24th tanks. Examples include the: Leopard, T-90, and M1A2 Abrams. No big deal.

The overall motion and physics are awesome! You can control it in the following ways: Foward, Backward (with a 2x speed boost) left, right, spin, and SUPER SPIN (caution: as the super spin drains battery juice rather quickly!). The tank arrives in a cardboard box wrapped with plastic. After unwrapping the tank it is in it's regular box with great artistic coloring, opening the box reveals the tank, battery, remote control, box of accessories, bag of BB's, target board, and instruction booklets.

The remote is programable and has 6 pre-installed demo programs too. The remote allows you to move the turrent, raise it up and down, and the best part... SHOOTING BB'S! But it includes a safety featurefor airsoft. The Tank has a main airsoft control hatch which can turn the airsoft portion off. So it i great for kids!

The tank has great detailing and operates BETTER than advertised! It has rubber tracks that grip great and allows it to climb obstacles such as: DVD cases, Books, pencils, cell phones, sticks, etc. Optional Detailing is in the accessory box.
Tank manufacturer is Heng Long. A great brand in my opinion.

Oh another thing the tank has great range, with the two metal antennas attached to your tank, and the controller antenna extended it can go up to a 15ft radius.
