RE: VStank hard tracks
The headlights and taillights vary by model, but I think all of them have some sort of lighting. My Type 90 has yellow turn signals that blink in the correct direction while turning. I love my VsTanks and don't feel the need to talk about them here because they don't break and don't need upgrades. I do not run the 6 I own very often because after getting a few HL's, I can no longer tolerate the controllers and sounds. As soon as the new electronics are available, I'll be buying 6 upgrade sets and running mine all the time.
I use rechargable 2600Ma/h AA's and get a good 2hrs out of them. Regular AA's run over and hour and cost a fortune to replace 8 x 4 at a time when I have battles in my driveway.
