Ordered an Air Soft 1/16th R/C Battle Tank... *grin*
Well I was browsing ThinkGeek.com today and I ran across their R/C 1/16th scale airsoft battle tanks...
I got to looking around and found this one:
http://www.bananahobby.com/1105.html
I just ordered it, can't wait till it arrives. Supposedly it will run for an hour and fire pellets up to 25 meters haha. I am going to see if I can find some of those 6mm soft foam pellets to shoot at the cat when he's being a pain haha... maybe my tank will guard the door! (Of course if the foam pellets don't hurt - I wouldn't want to hurt my cat).
At any rate - just excited so I thought I'd post it up - I know it's kind of silly but hey I think I'll have some fun with itLast edited by Mike - MDDHosting; 07-31-2009 at 09:52 PM.

Looks awesome. Then perhaps you can move up to 1/1 scale some day

lol, that's bad ass! I don't think my wife would appreciate mini tanks driving around the house. Mind you, if I ordered 50 she'd have no say

Yeah, I looked at a lot of them and this one was the one that I liked the most. Mayhap someday I'll buy a kit and build one that's real nice+powerful but this one should do good for chasing the cat around the house
Even if I don't load shells the simulated cannon sound will surely send him running
This one *supposedly* will run up to 60 minutes on a full charge where as most of the ones I liked besides this one would last 15 to 30 minutes at most. We'll have to wait until it shows up to see how long it really lasts█ Michael Denney - MDDHosting.com - Proudly hosting more than 37,700 websites since 2007.

Looks pretty cool . I was thinking of buying one of the AirSoft Sniper Rifles a while back, never knew they had mini-tanks as well .

I'm certainly going to post up some videos on YouTube... I already have silly ones of just my cat:

Portrait video for the loss but it's pretty funny. Don't watch it with your sound all the way up
Next Hero video - Tank vs Cat!
I hope the tank will be here by the end of next week but that is being optimistic because I got it shipped via UPS ground.█ Michael Denney - MDDHosting.com - Proudly hosting more than 37,700 websites since 2007.

I wouldn't order it if I were you, Mike never received his tank and had to submit a dispute to get his money back...

I couldn't get in contact with the selling company beyond talking to sales initially and then submitting my order.
I submitted a dispute and after 5 days they didn't respond to the dispute so I escalated it to a claim and had my money back within about 3 more days but I did pay via PayPal.
I went down to the local hobby shop and picked one up - it was a bit more expensive but at least I got it same-day█ Michael Denney - MDDHosting.com - Proudly hosting more than 37,700 websites since 2007.
