      What are the best mini ir tanks on the market? I am guessing those digiq ones are the best.
      Can someone please tell me?
      Thanks. Blur.

      betty hit the nail on the head,
      combatdigiQ’s may be the best minitanks ever,
      but production stopped years back. :dead:

      rare and expensive as they were years back,
      they are still treasured by a small group of die-hard fan’s.

      there are some offers for used ones on the marked from time to time,
      take care to buy a working one and prepare to replace the internal batteries.
      for some more info take a look at my webpage.
      (is there a link in my profile ? wait, i’ll check).

      more a high tech novelty than a rc toy.

      epoxy, cheers for the link 🙂

      I’ve got 2 sets of tanks, but can’t remember the brands.

      One has moving turrets, the other is like a VS clone, bit faster.

      my pleasure. :beer:

      @ dangerous dave,
      i’ve been thinking about a battlefield for my tanks for age’s,
      but never seem to get around building a propper one.

      the “vision” is something like a modelrailroad layout
      (without trains of course) or maybe more like a WW2 diorama,
      maybe both.

      would be really cool if the infra-red battle tanks could take out those infra-red battle helicopters and vice versa.. haahha:gatlin:

      my old slot car layout was perfect for running the tanks, a few hills and some roads to speed along.

      Even did a spot of car crushing with the tanks hehe

      Unfortunately I didn’t take any pics of them in action
