Real tanks represent strength, fear and even misery in the real world but in the RC world radio controlled tanks found online today reflect nothing more than fun. Complete with realistic smoke, guns and sounds these models are great fun.

Quite a few of the models on the market today fire ammunition from the gun barrels and expel smoke from the exhaust.

OK so some of the RC tanks may not look the prettiest or be as fast or nimble as the more commonly sought after radio controlled buggies but who wants to be the bell of the ball all the time. Getting dirty and stuck in is certainly more fun.

Being slower and sturdier has its advantages for definite. For example your less likely to pay for an RC tank and crash and break it on the first day…unless you really push the boundaries and try to defy gravity.

You can put obstacles and all manner or surfaces in front of these bad boys and you will be amazed at just how robust these things are. They seldom roll over and give up for any course laid out ahead.

Being solid in build and structure means that knocks and scraps often encountered as part of life for a radio controlled tank are deemed as flesh wounds that barley need your attention.

However any good buying guide would advise on metal parts for your tank as these generally stand the test of time.

Price like anything is always an issue but the good thing about this hobby is these RC tanks can be bought and maintained for very little money. Some good models can be found online for as little as 40.

The running costs are low also, as most radio controlled tanks run on batteries and just require charging. The transmitter will require batteries but again this is low cost. This just leaves the ammo to pay for and BB pellets are as cheap as chips.

What’s great about the BB gun feature is the range and accuracy you can build over time. Initially you may be all over the place but as with controlling the tank, it could take time.

The joysticks used to control these machines are universally recognisable and fairly easy to use. Like anything however they will take a little time to master and coordination is key. The range on these tanks is also fairly impressive.

RC enthusiasts that love RC cars, planes and boats tend to look down on radio controlled tanks because they are the new boys in town. Do not let these be a factor in deterring you to get one – These machines are superb.

Lets take nothing away from other RC models, they all have great features but for me, none compare to the radio controlled tanks – These machines have no flaws and always impress.

Elmo, the red-furred Muppet at Sesame Street, has become very popular until now. For over 20 years in the industry, Elmo has been known for its unforgettable appearance with its red fur, large eyes and orange nose. He is simply adored by his viewers for being optimistic, outgoing, imaginative and friendliness.

Duke Cunningham in April 2002.
