AWESOME Sister Annoyer,

This review is from: Large RC Abrams Tank (Toy)
The other day, I caught my 10 year old GrandSon blasting away at
his little sister (age 6) and of course, Grand Dad (me) had to
come and help out. I was amazed at the range of the main battle
gun - almost 30 yards!!! If you are hit by one of the little
6mm plastic BB's, you will know it but there is no sting or no
broken skin no matter how close you are to the gun. The tank
has life like detail and sounds pretty good. Educational value
of a toy like this is down around zero but, in the words of my
ten year old GrandSon, "It does make for an awesome little
sister blaster." My older grand children think it is "cute."
If you shoot the dog, count on seeing the tank torn to shreds
before you can perform a rescue. The neighbors cat could care
less and he just went home with his tail in the air. It is a
lot of fun but make sure you monitor anyone...Read more

A Fragile Main Battle Tank,
February 8, 2009 Grammie of Two (Juneau, Alaska) - See all my reviews

= Fun: = Educational: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Large RC Abrams Tank (Toy)
The tank, although a fun toy for my grandsons, arrived cracked and broken in three places. It was poorly packaged. An hour was spent with a screwdriver and super glue to get the toy ready for use. It is overall of poor quality construction & fit and very cheaply made (including the remote control). The plastic is fragile and the tread is very flimsy and comes off easily (and it is difficult to get back on). The grandsons thoroughly enjoyed the toy, especially the air gun (which frequently doesn't fire unless you tap the toy to redistribute the little yellow pellets). The speed of the toy is too fast; there is no slow speed, just fast or faster. The rechargeable battery pack is poorly designed and difficult to remove, recharge and replace in the battery compartment. A great improvement would be to have a recharging port on the tank itself, so the battery pack would not have to be removed every time it needs to be charged. Overall, the toy is not a good value for the price.

Large RC Battle Tank,
January 7, 2009 HONEST REVIEW - See all my reviews

My kids are having a lot of fun with this tank. It runs well, shoots well and overall is highly enjoyable.
The biggest drawback is in the intial set up and learning to use it as the directions are all in CHINESE!
