How do you Play with your RC Tank
SO just a general question here: How do you play with your rc tank. Do you just drive around scale like, set up mock battles in your back yard (Garden for the English chap) or chase the dog round the house. I'm curious as to what others do with there tanks.

Come on, now, we don't "play" with them. We reenact historic events in a scale fashion. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!
Re: How do you Play with your RC Tank
I love taking mine out in the backyard (or the front) and driving realistically slow and challenge myself to some “technical” driving including climbing over some patio stones, stopping and balancing on top of a sharp ridge or tree root or navigate between tight areas. I would also like to build a scale sized wooden bridge to cross. I fire the main gun occasionally just for the sound and visual pleasure of the flash and barrel recoil. My new speaker also allows for some excellent sound quality including the engine sound. I like hearing it when I rev the engine while in neutral. It’s also a great opportunity to take some fun photos.

I have to wait for fall to arrive,...112 degrees today here in Phx.
Therefore Me and my tanks...both of’em are pretty much confined to running around the house

But it’s a dry heat!

I've set up Pepsi cans and paper targets around the garden in the past for BB shooting. Also obstacles to drive around and through/between.

Re: How do you Play with your RC Tank
Generally I take mine down to the woods and practice driving it along the tracks & footpaths. The more challenging the better. Once the summer is over I'll be taking it down to the beach to see how it handles the sand dunes. I also intend to try and get some more video of her in action.
I will also (one day) have a go at IR battles

My Grandson and I take them out and I chase him around a bit. He has fun and I enjoy watching him. I teach him about the history of each vehicle and how the real tanks were used and about the men that crewed them. We are fortunate enough to live next to Ft. Campbell, where I can take him to see a few of the real tanks at the Pratt Museum.

Re: How do you Play with your RC Tank
I personally set up mini battlefields in the garden, i find the american ''Dip'' containers the perfect target to shoot at, currently I am building some scenery to go with the battlefield, really I need to buy some more tanks, then convince the wifey that she wants to have a battle. As it stands I just have one lonely tiger and a mini dachshund that goes bananas when the tank gets pulled out.

Re: How do you Play with your RC Tank
I drive at ultra slow speeds while playing with the tanks literally decenes of voices, sounds and musics, fitting the moment... In the heat of battle or a military parade, we play sounds according.
I also do patrols (even night patrols!) with my children around the house, and sometimes we do ambushes with enemy tanks.
But my fauvorite part is to build them, no doubt!
