VsTank Pro - Introduction In 1999 VsTank began designing the worlds first 1/24th scale remote controlled tank and in 2000 they released the JSDGF Type-90 to the Japanese market followed the US Abrams M1A2 a year later.   2005 saw VsTank release the M1A2 to the American and European markets. This was soon followed by the German Leopard, Tiger I (Early, Mid and Late productions), Russian T-72, Type-90, KV-2 and the US Sherman. But this does not stop here, VsTank plan more releases which include the Russian KV-1 and SU152. VsTank have quickly built a world wide reputation for producing a range of WWII and modern day 1/24th remote controlled tanks renowned for their quality, attention to detail, innovative features and value for money. VsTank has developed two distinct versions of the VsTank Pro range of tanks. There is an airsoft version that shoots 6mm BB bullets over 25m and an infrared version that does not fire BB bullets but instead, uses an interactive infrared system to battle against other VsTank Pro infrared tanks.   VsTank Pro - What's in the Box The VsTank Pro package comes complete with a ready to run tank, controller, English manual, aerial(s) and accessories.  Once out of the box, insert the batteries (not supplied) in the tank and controller and you're ready to commence battle.   VsTank Pro - Getting your tank up and running Insert 8 AA batteries in the tank and 6 AA batteries in the controller. Insert the aerial or aerials in the tank as detailed in the instruction manual (can differ dependant on model) and you're off and running. Battery advice direct from VsTank: Alkaline Batteries: VsTank recommend Duracell and Energizer as the best alkaline batteries to use for the VsTank Pro tanks. Duracell gives the best results for power movements (i.e. climbing slopes) but Energizer gives you the longest playing time. Over 30 minutes continuous use can be achieved but this will depend on how the tanks are used (i.e. climbing slopes uses more battery power and will reduce it's life) To get the best continuous use though VsTank recommends using re-chargeable batteries. Best results have been achieved using Sanyo 2700mAh Ni-MH batteries. Fully charged the tanks can run for over 1 hour. But if you use Sanyo 1200mAh re-chargeable batteries, you would only get something in the region of 30 minutes playing time. Any type of AA battery can be used for the controller as this uses very little power. The above should only be used as a guide as differences in how these tanks are used will effect over-all battery life and power.   VsTank Pro - Main Product Features Climbs slopes to 45o Individual wheel suspension Up/Down cannon movement Realistic sound effects when running and shooting (sound adjustable on later models) Supports up to 13 players   VsTank Pro - Airsoft Version Features (Shoots BB Bullets) Bullets are loaded into the hatch which can hold up to 20 BB bullets. Tanks can shoot 6mm airsoft BB bullets with speed and power up to 25m. When the tank fires it recoils realistically and produces a firing sound. The tanks has sound effects when running and shooting.   VsTank Pro - Infrared Version Features (Interactive Battling) Uses an infrared system for interactive battles. When the tank is defeated an explosion sound is made and the tanks become temporarily inoperable. When the tank fires it recoils realistically and produces a firing sound. When the tank is hit it shakes with explosion sounds and lights.   VsTank Pro - Promotional Videos To watch the VsTank Pro promotional videos hover over the images below and press enter.
