Default RE: MY NEW VS 1/24 TIGER 1's are here!!!

Hi guy's here is the video i have a better version i could not post it here i had to shrink the file so much it got degraded
http://www.rcpics.net/img/81031
...But first
gripes with the tanks are:

Biggist problem you CANT use rechargable batteries!! To do so you will have to grind all the plastic tabes for each AA 2 tabs for each so with radio and tank that would be 28 tabs to be ground off what a pain in the BUTT...what where VS thinking we would not want to use rechargable batteries???

Next for some ODD reason the tracks don't ride good on the tanks they lift off on the sprockets almost as if they don't fit correctly making auwfull clicking popping sounds!

The radio works better than the old one BUT the buttons you have to push so far down it kind of stinks I like the old buttons better the way they worked and there are so many buttons it's kind of a pain but you will most likly get used to it..another thing i don't like is the controller don't feel good it don't fit in my hands well and i can't really reach all the buttons that well.. and again rechargables don't fit in the controller you will need to grind the tabs off inside.

the GOOD the tanks look really nice and the recoil and machine gun fire is cool and the way it works now it can be controlled much better and turn in many more radious turns even though i find i like using the low 1 and 2 buttions and just blip on and them to make the tank turn any size turn i want it to...And once you learn all the buttons on the radio it should be good but may take a while !:-) LOL

But i am disapointed paying $250.00 for these tanks i feel they could have did a better job.
Also the tank sounds anoying it's a constint high pitch clapping popping sound ..it needed more bass to make it ballenced out.
