entry RC level vehicle [TANKS]

[Joe Sommer <anvilus9-at-adelphia.net>]

Wal-Mart has an entry level RC vehicle for $150.

Nylint 1:6 Scale Radio-Controlled Rock Crawler
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4016706

It is a 1/6 scale Jeep Wrangler that could be converted to a
WWII Jeep support vehicle.

Although I did not buy one, it appears to have four new features
beyond 1/6 scale RC Hummers that are available.

1)  soft rubber tires rather than hard plastic
2)  independent rear suspension - see photos at Wal-Mart link
3)  12V gel cell battery rather 9.6V RC car battery
4)  4 channel radio - use gear shift channel to fire a gun

Add $40 for a Splatmatic XJ40 marker to model a post-mount
0.50 caliber MG, and you could kill artillery crews or supply vehicles
with no armor.  Model a post-mount 105mm recoiless rifle and
you could even hunt tanks.

Get a friend to buy one, and you could have your own battles.
