Vs M1A2 Abrams
 
Just got a really nice M! for next too nothing today that is in really good shape. Only problem is I cant get it too work. Replaced the batteries but nothing. Dont know what else to try with this as this is my very first Vs tank. This thing really looks awesome so I just may pick up a T-72 too have some fun with. But I really need too know what else too try with this one. the guy i got it from said it works great so am I missing something here, Yeah tried all the switches too.

Yep, don't own one. But it appears there's no special way to communicate the transmitter to the tank other than turning on both the transmitter and tank.....and matching crystals in the correct position per manual.<div>http://www.vstank.com/vspro/manual/p...MCU_manual.pdf</div>

make sure the battery tabs are hitting all the batteries ....look at the plastic tabs where the AA's button nipple head supposed to hit the tanks contact sometimes they don't on some VS tanks they left a plastic section there where the AA's go in that can be cut down with a exacto blade to make the batteries button head reach the contact.

Well, cleaned up all the battery terminals as the tank was stored for a long time with batteries still in it(BIG NO NO) and reset the crystals an she works just fine. No sound though. Did these first version Vs tanks have sound? I took off a little plastic cover on the bottom of the tank because I thought there may have been a switch under it and the tank says Tokyo  Muari so i'm guessing this is the first version. Nasty little airsoft gun in this puppy. Now I need to go and buy a Vs AS T-72. Atleast I'll finally have some modern armor to actually do some type of battling with Hooraah.

Hi what you have is not a VS it's a muari tank they covered the muari label on it they can from another factory.... same thing though but they came with different box art.

RE: Vs M1A2 Abrams
 
Isn't the Muari Tank more costly? That was the first brand I was looking at before finding out about knock offs and HL when I entered this hobby. I've been trying to find actual Muari tanks, but HL has plagued many searches with their Muari OEM's, making it quite difficult to find an actual Muari. (I know Toyeast has them, but I refuse to consider their prices after shipping)

just buy a VS they are exactly the same. but the tiger I VS uses different gear boxes for some reason.
I have a few marui tanks tigers and leaopards and abrams.

they don't make any sound at all and have the one hand held controler.

RE: Vs M1A2 Abrams
 
I reqally like this little tank shen, not crazy about the one handed transmitter though. Does any one do HL upgrades in these tanks and is it worth it. i just got 2 complete HL IR conversion kits from Bill that i was gonna put in some other tanks but maybe could work one into this tank.

RE: Vs M1A2 Abrams
 
Hi i have a vs abrams and a marui lepard A5 that i put full HL smoke and sound electrics in it... Suppose you can do the IR....but it's tight in the tanks..... why not get the VS IR or better yet the FOV 1/24 Ir tanks there nice.

I have the T-72 and I wish the controller was like the heng long too. The annoying thing is that the tank sound only comes on when I make it move. I like the sounds ok, but they are also very LOUD. No way to adjust the volume....what were they thinking?

:DFOV 1/24 tanks sound 100% better than VS and the radio is a FM normal size 2 stick radio.

Hey Steve do you have a linik for those great Airsoft pellets you where using. the biodegradable ones that explode on impact. I cant wait to get this T-72 and rock its world with my Abrams.
