Thanks. I am happy he is not in front of a TV as much. He LOVES tanks so we have good father / son time with them. In fact it's part of the sales pitch to the wife that I am using tanks to teach my son life skills. Don't tell her it's about the fun.

Here he is making his first IR "kill".

Future leasons will include, driving, shooting, ambush, etc... as well as how to fix and maintain the tanks.

I can give him lots of life leasons with these things. One of the things I like about RC tank battles is that we NEVER shoot at people. Toy guns give the wrong message, that it's OK to shoot at people, and the RC tanks make it more third person. Not sure how to put it, but I think tanks can teach some combat skills, without my son pointing guns at people.
