Howdy!
For years now (off and on) I had fantasized about playing "laser tag" with model tanks but it wasn't until recently that I actually got "serious" with the idea and discovered that there was a community of just such people! So for the past couple of weeks I've been cruising websites and shadowing this forum trying to figure out what I want to start with and how to go about it.
I have minimal experience with RC modeling. Nothing more than "out of the box" cars.
Some of questions I have... that some answers have currently evaded me are:
1. What is the range of the infrared beam and how accurate is it?
2. Are some IR systems better than others?
From what I have seen, (glossing over this forum) you can have barrel recoil or BB shooting abilities but not "both". So question three is:
3. Is there a barrel recoil system that allows for the launching of simulated projectiles of ultimate destruction? (Does it wiggle and shoot bb's at the same time?)
I'm currently in the market for my first tank and intend to purchase a second (cheaper) 😆 one to serve as a present for my uncle in an effort to get him interested in the hobby. (Him being retired Army I have NO DOUBT that he'll be on board)
For my first purchase I'm considering this one on the bay of "E".
This seller claims the tank has both barrel recoil AND fires BB's so question four is:
4. Is this tank all it's cracked up to be?
Thanks (in advance) to all for your attention!
