Best Mini/Micro tanks?
I've found these, http://www.hobbytron.com/mini-rc-tanks.html
And these, http://www.vstank.com/rtype/index.html
I've also read alot about the konamai tanks with the rotational turret, but I can't find any for sale, not even on ebay
I understand that the first ones don't have IR battle capabilities, but I still like them and could still sumo with my friends(and the're incredibly cheap) I found a video on youtube that has those tanks in it, but I'm not sure. If anyone could tell me if the're worth getting or not, I would be grateful.
I already have one of these, http://plantraco.com/product_dtr.html
My bro used to have one, and the battle was fun, then he broke his.
So if I could get some feedback on these tanks, and maybe some info on other ones that I have not stated, that would be great. Thanx.

back to the hong kong factory for defect assessment, but I don't feel like bothering.

RE: Best Mini/Micro tanks?
I like the Dragon micro tank. It is 1:72 scale. The detail is incredible for it's size/price. It only has basic driving functions, but it is powerful for it's size, the tracks (rubber) hold up, and it has pretty good range. Turret does not rotate under RC and there is no IR but IR for tanks this sze really doesn't work.
I love driving this thing across my terribly messy desk, youd be amazed what it can climb.

Yeah, usually, but I usually pick it up and straighten them every couple of mins. It's not the kind of tank you drive from 150 feet away! I did break one track so I emailed Dragon and they sent me six for free from California. Pretty cool.

RE: Best Mini/Micro tanks?
Do you lot in the states get the 1/54 tiger 1 ?-Sort of proportional speed (until you turn), mg sound, turning turret, red led and recoil on main gun, but poor ground clearance
Easily the best small scale IMHO
And the tracks stay on!
