Really Awesome Piece of Junk,

This is a really cool toy. It looks great, it moves well enough, the controls are cool once you figure out how to "trim", with the only downside being that that must be done each time you turn on the unit. The rotating turret is awesome. The sound effects CONSTANTLY coming out of the controller are HORRIBLE, just TV static white noise. The main reason however not to buy this toy is that the laser tag functionality which apparently isn't even mentioned on Amazon is total garbage. I bought FIVE of these toys today, and out of the five TWO worked. Yes, only TWO out of FIVE actually are able to both fire and register hits from other tanks. The woman at tech support told me that this is the first they've heard about this problem which I don't believe for a second. Its a really great really cheap toy, and I wish they retailed for $50 instead of $30 and were a bit sturdier and more reliable. It pains me that such a potentially AWESOME toy is really not worth buying because of the vast...Read more

Didn't work right!!,

My son is IN LOVE with all things military, and we bought this yesterday for his 5th birthday. My husband is the master of all things remote control or technical, and could NOT get it to work properly. The tank refused to go straight! There's a way to align the treads to fix this, only this function still wouldn't work on the tank. There's nothing worse than seeing it try to go across the floor, which it's completely unable to do.
Thanks Halo for ruining what we thought would be the greatest toy-gift ever. (It really WOULD have been, if it wasn't so cheap made and it actually worked!)

This review is from: Halo R/C Scorpion Tank (Toy)
I am a huge fan of Halo, and was thrilled to see they had a radio controlled Scorpion (Tank) and Warthog (Jeep). I bought both, the jeep works fine, infact I think it is a very well designed toy and worth every cent.
The tank is a dismall failure! The first problem I ran into was the screw that holds the lid on the battery compartment of the tank itself was stripped? Anyway, I managed to finally remove the lid and place the batteries in it. When I turned it on it began making horrible noises. These dreadful sounds are suppose to make it sound like a tank... as somone who has worked with sound effects and sound related media, I have to say it sucks! Okay, I am still trying to be excited at this point, so I turn the horrible static noise off. Then I try to put it through it's paces.... it only turns in one direction. I try it on a very low nap carpet first, no good, okay I try it on the bare floor... still no good. So I flip it over and examine the wheels/treads as I...Read more
