I can attest to the fact that Alpha is alive and well...Just incredibly busy as all of us at Motion RC are at the moment. Lots and lots and lots of new product from surface to air!

Alpha hasn't posted anything since November.

Who knows?

This Upgrade version features steel gears and plastic tracks for an economical balance between durability and weight. Heng Long has produced RC tanks for over 20 years, and their products offer an ideal starting point for new customers wanting to explore the world of RC tanks. All of Motion RC’s Heng Long 1/16 scale tanks utilize the latest TK6 MFCB for outstanding control, performance, playability, and upgrade potential!

Independent Suspension and Steel Geared Gearbox Reliable steel geared gearboxes transfer power while independent suspension provide traction over rough surfaces.

IR Battle Ready Engage in friendly infrared ("IR") combat with other TK6-equipped tanks, both inflicting hits upon and receiving hits from opponents! Sounds and action signal each hit, until the 5th hit disables the tank. After 10 seconds, the disabled tank restarts and can rejoin the fight!

Airsoft BB Launch Safely fire 6mm plastic airsoft BBs at the included paper target at short ranges. *Take safety precautions and wear eye protection.
