RC Airsoft Battle Tanks

Posted: February 09, 2018

Radio-controlled tanks that fire actual BBs? Glass sliding doors beware. These RC tanks, which I don't even know how they're allowed really in this day and age but I'm glad they are, are modeled after some of the most iconic tanks utilized in our most iconic wars.

Utilizing airsoft tech and loaded with 6mm BBs for ammunition, these RC Battle Tanks are all equipped with simulated engine and cannon sounds and actual recoil action when the cannon is fired. The tanks come pre-assembled and vary in sizes, quality and price. There is a tank to fit all budgets...and risk tolerances.

Generally, the basic entry level versions of these RC tanks are only 1/24 scale while the upgraded versions come in a 1/16 scale size with full metal gears and tracks along with a more mobile turret in terms of turning angle and vertical function. They also have a longer cannon range. And of course a higher price. All models come with a hardened plastic body panel construction, an authentic engine sound, machine-gun sound and recoil when fired. We've tried to list both versions where applicable.
