Think it's an infra red emitter like if the tank had been hit by another tank. Not sure if it's instakill though

Like Tom says mine simulator. Basically a reed switch put under 1/35 tank an magnets on the ground as mines when tank drives over it simulates a hit as well as the IR battle side. Not certain if it destroys tank or simple loses a life.

I think I asked Kevin at rcta or ivano (ibu) about adding feature to 1/16 scale but wasn't interested because it add cost to the unit and effector only effect your tank not others unless had same system.

I suppose one can rig up a Panzerfaust from RCTA to do something similar on the 1/16 side.

So you bury them and make it so they can't be seen right? I mean that is how a land mine works. So how do you retrieve them after the battle is over? LOL! :haha:
