I actually bought one of those tanks from Ebay, on a whim (I seem to do that kind of thing quite often.). The shipping cost was outrageous, but I did not pay attention to that until after I had bid. [&o]

Oh well, I honored my bid and shelled out the dough, but I think FedEx delivered it to the wrong place. [:@] I am a teacher at an elementary school, so I listed that address to ship to, so my wife would not know right away.

The driver's notes on the invoice apparently stated that he left it at the door at 10:00 pm. [:'(] Either the guy 'left it' at the wrong address or else he did not exercise common sense and 'left it' in front of an elementary school, in a poor neighborhood. [] Either way, I will never see it, so I hope that some impoverished kid is getting to enjoy it at least.

The reason that I jumped on this thread was not to whine, but to find out if most of these tanks use a 7.2v battery like the one in my link:
