Did not have that problem with both of mine...But i sold them anyhow and got rid of all my 1/24 IR tanks being that stupid VS made the new tiger IR system only have a range of like 13ft or so when the old system shot 30ft and scored a hit...Also that loud nasty sound that the tigers made was so hiddious i could not live with it!!!

They are supposibly having a new abrams coming out with real recorded sounds from a abrams with the new controller also maybe this one will be nice....I would want this in the airsoft version.
