If you are a military type-of-person, or enjoy heavy machinery used for war, an electric RC tank might perk your interest.
Electric RC Tanks come in several sizes and have many different features. Some of these features are: Infrared sensors and beams. Infrared is used for battling each other by shooting the "beams" at the other tank. A lot of the infrared sensor tanks come in a bundle of two so that you can get right into the action battling your friend. A good example of this would be "laser tag" with tanks. Another feature some tanks have is sound capability. With sound capability the tank emits sounds of war as you play with it. This could be cannon sounds, engine sounds, or machine gun sounds. My favorite feature is the ability to shoot BB's from the cannon. Tanks with this feature can be loaded with plastic BB's or pellets that it will shoot out of its cannon at the opposing tanks.
The Snow Leopard has several great features being a higher priced tank. It has sound capability, shoots plastic pellets, and has a movable turret so that your can turn on the spot and shoot the enemy. These are just a few of the features that it has.
The Snow Leopard electric RC tank is 18 inches long, 9 inches wide, 8 inches high, and weighs in around 18 pounds. It is powered by an electric motor and a 7.2 volt rechargeable battery which allows the tank to run for up to 30 minutes before recharging. The cannon is powered by an "Airsoft" gun motor and can fire the plastic pellets as far as 25 meters distance. The cannon also has an auto-reload feature making it easier to pump out round after round at your enemy. This tank comes "ready to battle", meaning it is pre-assembled and pre-painted with a camouflage finish. It is controlled by a 3-channel remote system and a 2 speed electric motor. This tank has excellent maneuvering performance giving you an edge over your enemy. It has full motion functionality and the turret moves left, right, up, and down as well.
What comes with it? The 1:16 Snow Leopard comes with the tank, the remote (AA batteries not included), a 7.2 volt rechargeable battery pack and a battery charger adapter (110 volt), and even comes with a bag of plastic BB's to get you started.
Who is it for? I would say that the 1:16 Snow Leopard is for people who like to re-enact war on a scale level, or just anyone who wants to battle with their friends. I would not recommend this for children under 10 due to the ability to shoot pellets which could cause harm if not careful.
