Default Question about HL IR

Beleive it or not I have never function tested Heng Longs IR. My tanks seem to immediately go under the knife. From my understanding there is no weight class, and it is 5 shots to put you out of action. Does the tank slow after each hit, with diminishing top speed after each hit????, or is it just simply race around until you get hit five times.

Nope...I don't believe it Dan!!! Holy moly, I do find that a bit shocking! lol
But, I don't have an IR system for either brands, so....yeah, I shouldn't talk. lol
Anyway, by looking at this KT vs KV1 video...it doesn't appear to do anything other than cause a violent reaction in the tanks as they register hits.

An equally large problem is that the system is essentially semi automatic - there's no reload delay, so it's impossible to have a semi realistic battle with my 6 yr old who simply mashes the fire button in my general direction as I try to outmaneuver.

My HL IR Stug III has a delay. The gun fires repeatedly but there is no IR beam sent out for about 5 or 6 seconds. Check it with your cell phone camera. The following shots are w/o IR until it "reloads". Bob

HL IR is almost identical to VsTank in function except it works outdoors.
