I got an RC tank at FRY'S for 9.99
Has working treads so it works on carpet!

It is not exactly like the one in the pic, mine is like an M1 Abrams. Still same idea, and cost.
Way more fun then the cheesy little cars that can not handle carpet!

I thought it had wheels on the bottom, neat..
Next is to do formations with like 10 tanks, but they all need to be on dif. freq.
-
Looks like they only come in two or three freqs..
But no wheels, working treads, the thing is awsome, it climbs stuff very well, if only it was just a little longer it would not flip over on its back so much.
Fun diversion at work to kill stress though.

one can guess it's friday afternoon:D

Yes, the board always sucks hard on fridays... I had to post something interesting. :)
-
I agree it needs to be a bit longer, it looks to toyish, but then again, you don't wanna scare any ants..
-
They have this one for sale, its 1/72 and real looking, and over 2 iches long. So it should work better, but 52 bucks is steep!(http://www.backyardarmor.com/Dragon_M1A1_Main_Banner.jpg)

I want the ones where the turrent swivels and when it fires smoke comes out of the barrel and and and!
I remember those trains that had smoke come out, I can't remember what they used to make the smoke come out but it could have the same purpose here for the exhaust and firing thing..
Well there you go, make it and send me a free tiger Tank and Sherman Tank.
Love,
Hawklore

There is this.

Tamiya has put incredible power and versatility of the German Tiger I in your fingertips with this 1/16 scale, fully functional R/C tank. First detail is the firing of the main cannon, complete with true to life flash and cannon recoil. The shot is so powerful that it actually causes the tank itself to recoil, just like the full size Tiger I. The turret fully rotates, tracking down the enemy and preparing to fire. Next is the firing of the authentically recreated 7.92mm MG34 machine gun! Finally, take a gander at how the Tiger I moves on its durable resin and metal tracks. This kind of detail is famous by Tamiya
Powerful Engine Sound
Just about every sound the real Tiger I made can be made on Tamiya's 1/16 scale Tiger I. When the tank is switched on, either a manual crank start sound, or an automatic engine start sound is heard. After your engine is turned over, its time to move the tank around. As you accelerate, the engine thundering increases just like the real Tiger I. Stop the tank, and the sound of authentic idling begins. Once you have located your target, rotate the massive turret and listen to the grinding of gears of the real German war machine. The more you control this R/C tank, the more you will feel like the commander of the full size Tiger I !
The Thundering of the Maybach Engine
The only working King Tiger tank in the world is on display at the Saumur Tank Museum in France. Since the Tiger I used basically the same type of Maybach powerplant, some Tamiya staff members made their way to France to investigate. They recorded all the sounds of the real tank including; battery start-up, crank start-up, fly-wheel sound, etc. All the sounds of the enormous V-12 700hp engine have been clearly recorded and are waiting for you in Tamiya's 1/16 R/C Tiger I kit.
