They are a very good deal for the money. I have a few and they are worthwhile. Even though they are ALL on the same damn frquency. The radio range is very limited to about 30 feet indoors and 50 outside. The model is fairly accurate and drives well. I removed the rear mud flaps 2 min after running it, since they were hard plastic and were like anchors in the snow. The winch is cut off of mine now and will be replaced with a roller for the hilly terrain of Danville. The M16 drives very well but the joysticks are toylike and the configuration for driving and the controlling the gun mounts is awkward. I mounted my video camera in the gun mount so I could pan and tilt it freely to capture some action on the battlefield. The mounts move quickly and since the M16 is very light it is bouncy fpr the camera. The front axle is not powered but that short-coming doesn't mean that it gets stuck easily. The two figures are very, very nicely detailed (one is holding a cigarettte) and worth at least $20 each in and of themselves. I am also converting one to IR battle and hope to have it ready for our next winter NEAD battle-day here in NJ.
I did make some video during my last trip to Danville and I just posted it on youtube.
I have NO time for editing so take it in stride. Here is a link: http://www.youtube.com/user/thecommandernj?feature=mhum
