Good move on your part. Like others have said, it will introduce a whole new generation to RC tanking and RC tank battling. It seems a lot of this type of fun is lost on today's kids; that they have a much higher preference for video games...

What was the kids' general impression of the tanks? Did they have any trouble operating them?
Thanks guys for all the comments! Its kind of funny becuase I went to make a " serous video" showing how the road wheels looked rolling over my two wooden bridges and comparing the different tanks as they went by! It was kind of spure of the moment type thing so my Tiger had a dead battery my Panther doesn't like the sand and the kids broke one of my bridges! [>:][X(][:-] Hey becuase if your putting a bridge across a stream if must be for walking right! So I just rolled with it, I recruited the kids to stomped down the sand and make the little jetty so I could have a bridge and a half, and went from there! I was surprise the kids really liked it, some older teanages looked in but the ten year old range really wanted to play, there was four that took turns and they all picked up the radio faily fast! You know sometimes you hit the start button instead of fire, but I have done before myself with the Heng Longs!

Bill I set the camera up on a tri-pod and stayed by it but it worked out OK, I have few videos that were good, and then a kid ran right in front of it, but I will see what I can do once I start playing with (learning) some editing!
