RC Tank Set,1/24 RC Battle Tank Set Toy Tanks with Life Indicators and Spray,2.4G Remote Control with Realistic Sounds and Lights,RC Army Toys for Boys Age 6+ Year Old Gifts for Kids and Adults

My grandson loves them!

Nice play set, seems to be best suited for indoors though. Comes with everything you need for a 1 on 1 tank battle. I like how battle damage is simulated, and you lose functionality as you take hits. But the battle isn't won until one of the tanks is no longer functional at all...

My children keep these toy tanks at my parents' home for when they visit their Grandparents. My father is a retired tanker and loves to direct the kids into formations in his living room. It's a perfect toy for them to bond over. The tanks operate fine between their hard wood floors and carpets.

I purchased these for my son and I think I enjoy playing with them just as much as he does. They are easy to set up, easy to maneuver, and easy for a 6 year old to learn the controls. The tanks are very durable so far. We have rammed them into each other, into furniture, boxes, etc. I will say that the controls must be on the same wave length as one of the Bluetooth lights in our basement because one of the lights will turn on and off if the control is aimed at it. Fun purchase!

When this package arrived, I have to admit I had certain amount of anticipation, not unlike my six year old self on Christmas morning. It was nice to experience that feeling of my childhood again. I may have been channeling George Patton as I began to size up these two tanks. The set looks impressive and is much larger than expected. You get two tanks, two remote controllers, two USB A style battery charging cables and two rechargeable batteries. You'll need four "AA" batteries, too.Then came the unpacking... To free these tanks from their bullet proof packaging, you'll need a razor blade, or very sharp knife, a small Philips head screw driver and a metric ton of patience. First carefully cut away the zip-tie plastic bands holding these in place, but be careful not to damage the tanks in the process. Then carefully remove the tiny screws holding each tank to it's carrier. This took me a good amount of time and my six year old self was growing impatient with the delicate proceedings.Once the tanks are free and the instructions are in hand, charge up the rechargeable battery packs and dig up the 4 "AA" batteries. Each controller takes two batteries and you'll need that tiny screw driver to open the battery compartments on everything. You'll want to charge the batteries for each tank of course and that's when the six year old in me withered and died. I gave each battery an hour of charge time. A light on each cable lit up to tell me there was power but both lights went out within a minute or so and nothing else tells you when the batteries are full. This takes a very long time to set up and play with.Finally, I convinced my wife to take part in a small tank skirmish on the living room floor. Her tank, lit up and made noises (after pairing the controllers) while mine did most of that, save for the lights that you need to play the game correctly. Those didn't work at all. No matter, we're doing this battle live now and we began firing at each other and making advances! Mind you, most of the movements were completely uncontrollable because the joysticks are rather difficult to master. Still I was surprised when my wife began an all out assault on my forces, complete with machine gun fire! This was equally surprising to her because she was not using the controller at the time. Still there was plenty of noise and lights and action enough to say the tanks seem to work. They just don't work very well. Mine, never lit up to show battle damage (as it's described in the manual) and hers, well... It may have been possessed by Rommel himself.The take away is, these may spark a moment of joy for some but for most, they'll probably spell frustration. I'm not saying you (the adult you) won't enjoy these tanks. I'm saying most kids will get frustrated with finicky controls and poor QC. I'd recommend this for teens and adults.

Overall I like these tanks. They drive well and are fun to just use as RC tanks by themselves. I really got them for the ability to battle each other and it works, but could be improved. Each tank can take four hits before it's "destroyed". This is good, except after the first hit one of the treads becomes disabled so you can only spin in circles. After the second hit the other tread is disabled so you can't move at all. It's neat that this simulates battle damage, but it would be much better, in my opinion, if you could still drive after being hit.The second issue - and I understand this can't really be helped - is that these use infrared to shoot each other and the infrared bounces, so you don't even need to be aimed at the opponent to score a hit, especially if playing indoors. This combined with the way the tanks get disabled immediately makes game play rather short.All that said, I still gave these 4 stars because the tanks themselves are nice, and with a little creativity I think the game play can still be fun if you work around the limitations.

These tanks are very fun. The packaging was a bear to get through, though, but that's not terribly uncommon, and these are well packaged for a store shelf or a gift so not too surprising. I really enjoy the battle mode has "scoring functions." I had a similar set from 2020, and those just had 3 "lives" and you came back to life after like 10 seconds. This set has leds to display hits and kills. The tanks look pretty good, cool WWII style tanks. Overall, I can recommend.

The tanks are small enough for indoor play and do add a bit of interactive play with infrared type battle mode. Lights on the rear of the tanks illuminate when hit. 4 hits and you're out. They use a 2.4gh remote and the tracks are rubber. They have good scale detail and are fully operational. They use a twin stick control. All basic controls are there...gun/cannon moves left/right. You have forward, back, left, right controls. For the money they pretty impressive. It offers a bit of interactive fun that can be done inside and out.
