RC German Tiger Tank R/C WWII Battle Panzer Kampfwagen III with Electric Airsoft Gun

This particuliar RC model tank is in a word boring!. Wait one moment, please read on. However, it is well made and it works very well right out of the box. I have purchased both the Tiger Tank and this Panzer III. I prefer the tiger on size, but the little Panzer III wins on all other levels. Again, this is right out of the box, charge the battery and go " tanking ". I do think that it is well made and with even a modest amount of work, the Panzer III can be detailed a whole lot more. It actually
fires it's rounds fairly accurate and the suspension system works very well. By now, anyone who has purchased one or the other of these RC tanks knows that they are so basic in construction. However, they are well made for the most part. Many hobby type upgrades are available from both the hobby stores and the manufacturer ( Hen Long ). I actually run my Panzer III very hard. I run it through water, mud, dirt and what ever else I can find too work this little tank very hard. So far, I...Read more

My son is having a lot of fun with it. It shoots projectiles. What more do I have to say. This thing has "guy" fun written all over it. It's best driven on a driveway as it picks up "stuff" in the tracks if grass is loose. We bought army men to shoot. Only complaint is it pulls a little to the left when you go straight so we have to make constant corrections. I wish there was a dwell on it to get it to drive straight.

I normally like to touch and feel things before I buy them but I have been happy with Amazon's prompt response and a decent product. I'm not an "anti-Walmart" person but their quality has hit rock bottom. I've been looking for other sources to buy things from. Amazon might be a new "store" for me.

I purchased this tank myself via Thinkgeek, and I must say so far it's fairly sweet.

I wish it were easier to aim but it does fire fairly accurately and fairly hard. The LED headlights on the front are nice and bright and make it easy to navigate, even when it's not in sight, it also feels fairly satisfying to press the button and hear that engine roar to life, even if said engine is just a speaker inside the housing.

On most TC tanks the tracks are just two strips of rubber, I was pleased to see that the tracks on this beast are made from linked pieces just like the tracks on a real tank, albeit from plastic, that plus the suspension makes it seem very realistic as it runs over terrain, be it the yard, your shoes, or from carpet to hard flooring. The smoking exhaust is also a nice touch that adds realism. Plus I had no idea that there was a button on the controller to make the hull mounted machine gun light up and make firing noises, which is a nice touch. I've...Read more
