RC Tanks: FAQ

How do I ensure the scale size is accurate for my collection?

Most AliExpress listings use standard scales like 1:16 or 1:24. Always verify the physical dimensions in millimeters provided in the product description to ensure it matches your existing fleet.

How can I tell if the tank has plastic or metal tracks?

Look for 'Pro' or 'Professional' versions in the title, which usually include metal tracks, drive wheels, and gearboxes. Check the item weight specifications; metal components significantly increase the total weight.

What specs indicate a durable RC tank for outdoor use?

Prioritize models with steel gearboxes and independent suspension systems. These features ensure the tank can handle rough terrain like grass or sand without stripping gears or breaking axles.

Will the tank arrive safely given its size and weight?

Large RC tanks are typically shipped in reinforced foam boxes rather than retail packaging to prevent transit damage. Look for 'AliExpress Selection Standard' shipping for better handling of bulky hobby items.

Recommendations for buyers

  • ✓
    Transmission Frequency
    Ensure the model uses a 2.4GHz system to allow for interference-free operation, which is essential when running multiple tanks during infrared battles.
  • ✓
    Battery Chemistry
    Opt for Li-Po or high-capacity Ni-MH batteries. These provide longer run times and more consistent power delivery to the motors compared to standard packs.
  • ✓
    Suspension Type
    Look for independent torsion bar suspension. This allows the tank to traverse obstacles realistically and reduces stress on the chassis during outdoor play.
  • ✓
    Control Functions
    Verify the model supports full proportional control, 360-degree turret rotation, and barrel elevation for a truly immersive tactical experience.
