I'm pretty new at this whole R/C thing, but I just bought myself Leopard2 A6 from VSTank . As i was just messing around with it turned the turret back as far as it could and fired. The funny thing I found it recoils like firing forward. Something they have to definately change in the software.

Status: offline 		Harold, he's talking about the smaller 1/24 VSTank models. They jerk like HL's do (I just never press the G button) and can't be "fixed"... the recoil-back action on all tanks can go to hell as far as I care

Status: offline 		Doesn't so much worry me because I don't use it (K button - oops I wrote G up there). Darkith DBU can disable recoil action if you cant help but press the K button. I dont think they'll implement a more-realistic recoil because that'd need turret-position sensors etc

Status: offline 		I can handle some recoil but if you put it to scale that tank flys back like 3feet. I still think they should change the recoil and make it fire properly depending on the turret location. It would make it more realistic. YOu have to have some recoil so you cant just cut that out.

Status: offline 		They're sold as toys - kids don't care if it recoils or triple-backflips, it's a tank and it's "cool"

Then us enthusiasts get hold of them, size them up and do our thing, accurize them. De-toy them and make them into miniature versions of the real thing, something to be proud of.

It's wrong to expect too much of them (turret angle sensors etc), they're in it for the dollars, heck I think its awesome that theres so many good products out there right now to base projects on...
