Re: World's smallest 2 channel twin motor RADIO CONTROL Tank
S.O.A.G.
I've given it a lot of effort, my friend. Regular rubber bands are too thick and will not clear the track guards. I suppose that a set could be printed nowadays but the material would have to be super flexible given the miniscule strength of those motors.

Painless

Re: World's smallest 2 channel twin motor RADIO CONTROL Tank
This one looks similar to the Digi-Q models I see so far but not quite. This is RADIO CONTROLLED and all the Digi-Q ones look to be IR control. Also I found one Digi-Q that looks just like this one @ (Panther) but it is not the same Tank as those are IR battle tanks. In this review, the author does not mention the scale that I can see. https://the-gadgeteer.com/2003/07/10/co ... ks_review/
I am still trying to figure out what this thing is and who makes it.

Re: World's smallest 2 channel twin motor RADIO CONTROL Tank
They look like the old Nikko tanks, but I may be wrong

I do not think you are even close gunner lol
I found who is making them now. They are using the same mold looks to me. I will post more info as soon as I get the ones I just ordered. The new ones I ordered are also RADIO CONTROLLED not IR controlled. I am still sticking to my story that these are the smallest r\c tanks in the world (as we know it)

Yeah, maybe the Nikko ones were 48th scale now I think about it.modler wrote:Son of a gun-ner wrote:They look like the old Nikko tanks, but I may be wrong

Re: World's smallest 2 channel twin motor RADIO CONTROL Tank
I found who is selling this Tank now, Banggood. It looks like the same Tank chassis, Tracks, road wheels etc looks the same but may have new electronics. I ordered 2 of them from Banggood. It looks like they may be RRC IR Battle Tanks but is hard to tell as it shows pictures of the Tank with what looks like a battle IR system (IR emitter and collector). I will post more info when the new Tanks arrive.
Re: World's smallest 2 channel twin motor RADIO CONTROL Tank
Well the Tanks I ordered from Banggood are literally on a slow boat from China as they have not arrived yet. I was looking on ebay for RRC HalfTracks and only found one. I wonder why no one does a mass produced Halftrack you can but from Chinatown?
Below is a picture of the only RRC Halftrack I could find. It looks sorta like a M3 Halftrack but what is interesting is that it looks like it uses the Babggood Tanks chassis.

Re: World's smallest motorized HALFTRACK!
I JUST REALISED this is the world's smallest Halftrack! Not only that but it also is the only mass produced Halftrack of any kind that I can find. Looks like it was made in 2003.modler wrote:Well the Tanks I ordered from Banggood are literally on a slow boat from China as they have not arrived yet.

It would be interesting to know if this thing actually has steering front wheels.

Re: World's smallest 2 channel twin motor RADIO CONTROL Tank
There is one of these small M3 looking Halftracks on ebay for $65. Seems like a bit much to me but it is one of a kind. If not for that goofy looking machine gun turret thing it would not look too bad. I can not tell from the picture if the controller is stick of PB or if it steers like a TANK or like a TRUCK. I can not buy it as my wife thinks I have too much of these toys now and she is right lol.
