===Tanks=== Radio-controlled tanks are replicas of armored fighting vehicles that can move, rotate the turret and some even shoot all by using the hand-held transmitter. Radio-controlled tanks are produced in numerous scale size for commercial offerings like: 1/35th scale. Probably the best known make in this scale is by [[Tamiya Corporation|Tamiya]]. 1/24 scale. This scale often includes a mounted [[Airsoft]]gun, the possibly the best offering is by Tokyo-Marui, but there are imitations by Heng Long, who offer cheap remakes of the tanks. The downsides to the Heng Long imitations are that they were standardized to their [[Type 90 KyΕ«-maru|Type 90]] tank which has 6 road wheels, then they produced a Leopard 2 and M1A2 Abrams on the same chassis but both of the tanks have 7 road wheels. 1/16 scale is the more intimidating vehicle design scale. [[Tamiya Corporation|Tamiya]] produce some of the best of this scale, these usually include realistic features like flashing lights, engine sounds, main gun recoil and - on their [[Leopard 2A6]] - an optional gyro-stabilization system for the gun. Chinese manufacturers such as ([[Heng Long]] and [[Matorro]]) also produce a variety of high-quality 1/16 tanks and other AFVs.<ref>[https://rctanks.net/ RC Tank All In One Website]</ref> Both the [[Tamiya Corporation|Tamiya]] and the Heng Long vehicles can make use of an [[Infra Red]] battle system, which attaches a small IR "gun" and target to the tanks, allowing them to engage in direct battle. As with cars, tanks can come from ready to run to a full assembly kit. In more private offerings there are 1/6 and 1/4 scale vehicles available. The largest RC tank available anywhere in the world is the [[King tiger]] in 1/4 scale, over {{convert|8|ft}} long. These GRP fiberglass tanks were originally created and produced by Alex Shlakhter.
