KYOSHO MINI TANK???

[bullfrog]

Hey have n e of u guys seen this??? do any of u have it??? its like 30 bux should i get it?? thanks

[Rc1oGtMaN]

Oh yeah, I saw those somewhere. They look like lots of fun. Maybe you could rig the Tamiya battle system up to them and wage wars with the guys. That would be sweet. Thirty bones? For that price, why hold back on it?

thanks i am getting it .... mabey i can get another radio tape the two together and make it so the "gunpod" turns and it shoots caps. it would be hard though.

[Rc1oGtMaN]

Bullfrog, where are you getting the tank from?

SB, thanks for the info. Do you know where they are sold. It would be fun to fight with those too. Maybe I can sneak that into the local paintball arena, and shoot paintballs instead of pellets.

they sells em on tower hobbies fer 30 bux minus batteries.

[Serius Black]

I know I shouldn't be promoting this thing, cause it could possibly cause bodily harm, but I still thought it was pretty cool.
There's a paintball company out there that has an r/c tank that shoots little plastic pellets, and at a fairly high rate of speed. I guess Mauri(sp?) has something to do with it. One of the employees at a local hobby shop ordered one, it looked pretty cool. I think they run around $200 ready to run.
The pellets will leave welts at close range.

These things are col I got to play with one in a hobby shop while in Japan, next day I came in to pick one up but all they had left was the display one. Too bad, but hey I guess I might get one from tower at $30 its cheaper then most other stuff for RC lol.

[bullfrog]

hey how fast do thye go ????? do they look go scale speed or faster?? thanks

[bullfrog]

well guys i just got my dad to order it for me like 10 mins ago i cant wait till it gets here i go the $12 shipping and my dad payed for it!!!! so i only had to pay 30 bux it should get here in 6 days ill tell u how it is when it gets here.

[Jo_bomb17]

Hey bullfrog, u been working on your canned heat project latley??Do u think u will get it to go faster than a mini z???? :D

[SteveP]

The mini tanks are not that inexpensive - but they're much less than a Mini-Z however. The M1 tank has a four-button controller, and the Tiger tank has a six-button controller with a rotating turret - hence the reason for the higher price. Here's a link where you can buy them in the US. :D

Steve, does the battle system for the Tiger I work with other tanks, such as the King Tiger DMD, or the Sherman DMD?

[SteveP]

You're thinking about the battle system for the Tamiya tanks. They're much bigger than these Kyosho mini tanks. No way to make it fit.

[WhoKnowsWho]

Hey Serius Black, Tokyo Marui makes them, they also make a line of Replica Model Guns that fire the 6mm plastic pellets, most are very high quality. It's one of my other hobbies :) But you can find those tanks for less, I've seen some for about $140, on eBay and some Airsoft sites.

[Rc1oGtMaN]

Steve, I was talking about putting the Tiger I battle system into another Tamiya tank. The Sherman DMD Full Option and King Tiger DMD are both 1/16 scale, and are made by Tamiya. Those are the tanks I was thinking about putting the system into.

[SteveP]

Mark - I'm not sure if the systems are interchangeable, but Tamiya is coming out with a system for the Sherman tank.

[Rc1oGtMaN]

Thanks a lot, Steve. The kits would sell more if the systems could be switched. Compared to the Tiger I turret, the other two look to be too small for the battle system. It probably would recoil either. Thanks again, Steve.

hehe, I want to get one but Tower is the only place I know that has em, and shipping is 17 bucks to Canada and thats in US dollars!!!! Guess I'll get my LHS to order one and wait oh 3 months for them to get it :D Oh and did any of you guys read the description on the link Steve sent? check it out
Pocket Armour Series M1A2 Abrams. With four buttons of the transmitter, you can enjoy the free running only of the tank. With forcibleness 45 degree of gradeability, obstacle something that. This force is the miracle which exceeds size. Furthermore at frequency of 3 types, also simultaneous traveling is possible. As for kit paint being completed. The enjoyment which decare and installation et cetera of the accessory part assemble it can taste. Furthermore also the series of the full paint being completed successively with the complete assembly being completed appearance.

Bad Japanese translators :p

[Rc1oGtMaN]

I noticed that the translation was a bit off too. I think it was from French to English.
