Airsoft Vehicles And Tanks
Radio Controlled Tank: Mean, Marvelous and Must-Have
A Radio Controlled Tank is a toy model of a war vehicle that moves with the help of a hand-held transmitter. This vehicle has radio controlled systems installed in them due which it moves in the direction that is propelled by the transmitter. Commercially, an RC tank comes in 1/35th scale, 1/24th scale and 1/16th scale.
The most well known Radio Controlled Tank in the 1/35th scale is the one manufactured by Tamiya. This is a Japanese manufacturer which specializes in radio controlled cars, plastic models and various educational models. In the category of 1/24th scale, we have the mounted Airsoft guns manufactured by Tokyo-Mauri. You can also find cheaper versions of Airsoft guns made by Heng Long. However the most daunting version of a Radio Controlled Tank comes in the form of the 1/16th scale version. Tamiya is known to be a leader in this range too, manufacturing some of the best RC tanks with realistic features like the engine sound and flashing lights. The one modeled on the lines of the German battle tank Leopard 2, made by Tamiya also comes with a gyro-stabilized gun system. But the flip side is that it comes expensive and can cost around $750 or so.
RC tanks are available for private use too, in 1/6th and 1/4th scale. In fact, the biggest RC tank in the world is the King Tiger, that comes in 1/4th scale and is more than 8 feet long. The prices for these tanks are more than £6500 Pound Sterling.
While buying a Radio Controlled Tank, make sure that it is as close to the real thing, albeit the size of course. Pay attention to things like the engine and gun sound effects, machine guns, working headlights and tail lights, realistic recoil function, motorized turret, full suspension, well articulated tracks, standard speed and realistic looks.
An entry level model comes in 1:30 and 1:24 scales and do not cost much. For instance, Heng Long’s 1/30th scale Pershing and Sherman have realistic sound effects and a good flashing gun and then there is the 1 /24th scale Abrams, that has a BB firing gun capable of shooting standard 6mm plastic BBs. For the uninitiated, the Sherman Tank was the primary tank used by the US and its allies during World War II and the Pershing was the tank introduced in the final stages of the war, succeeding the M4 Sherman. The M1 Abrams is a modern war tank that was incorporated in the US service in the year 1980.
Investing in a 1/16th scale model is even better because though a bit more costlier than entry level ones, this one has real working metal tracks, wheels, gear box and dual motor system, which means it can climb over objects and is an apt replica to the real thing. The look and the design of the Radio Controlled Tank has evolved over a period of time and the contemporary look and features can pass off as the real tank in terms of looks and features.
