Actually it's just the oposit the VS radio is cheap the FOV radio is normal RC sized radio that fit's your hands better and also it's all proportional FM not am single speed push button like VS.
Another thing is it don't matter if VS makes a 2.4 radio if they still use the cheap way there ir and tanks sound...
The FOV tanks sound much better and realistic and there iR system is 100% better also as they have cool functins that VS don't have at all Like you can turn the sound on or off on the FOV tanks by pressing 2 buttons on the radio also you can set up to 3 seperate teams on the radios so you can not shoot your team member and also all the anti tank IR weapons can be set up like this also so they won't hit you only your oponet you are battling.
And lastly in a little over 1 year FOV has put out almost more than VS has since they first made there first 1/24 tank many many years ago!
Just look at the box art on the new FOV series they even improved them more with more feature! and they are less $$ than VS also!!

Here is the sound on them i just made it very loud with a amp inside you can't compaire this to VS it's sound blows the cheap clancking VS sound away!

I just about had it with VS i been trying to help them out with ideas and stuff for there tanks since there first model and after all these years they only slightly improved them they just don't listen to customers on the boards who complain about the cheazy radio and sound!
