Hi All,

New here to the group.
I have a Tiger 1 tank that my wife got me a few years back from radio Shack. I think it's 1/48 scale, maybe someone knows for sure, it's prety small. I like it, cause it was a gift for one and it has some neat features. Was wondering if anybody knows anything about these tanks from radio shack? recently i had to replace the battery and after I did that the sound part quit working. Any suggestions or where to get parts would be much appreciated.

Hello skitt and welcome,
Can't help with your questions but can say I have seen a lot of radio shack tanks being sold lately on ebay,mabe you can spot one of the same kind being sold and pick it up for a parts tank. BIGMIG

Thanks for the welcome, I will check out Ebay and see what I find. Hopefully someone may have some thoughts to offer as well.......

heh, i was through LAFAYETTE a year and a bit ago.

unfortunately the radio shack tanks are not very recognized on here. as big mig said, you probably have to find one online and use it as a parts tank. if your spending 100 bucks or more i would say go get a big boy 1:16 heng long.

Yep i'm doing that this week, ordering one of the heng long 1:16 scale Tiger 1's. I am really looking forward to getting the new tank and the forum has been really helpful on learning whats available.

Thanks for the awsome pics! If you can take pics of your tank innards so I can compare, it would be much appreciated. I looked for loose wiring, but just did not see anything. It still recoils when I shoot it.

Heres some pics of my tank. I popped the lid on it and removed the battery because it will not charge.

Honestly I don't know who made them for radio shack or even if you can still get them......would be good to know if anyone knew where to look..
