Title: RC tank help needed
Post by: Khare on 05 July 2011, 12:26: I've been given this http://www.yourrcstore.com/store/product138.html (http://www.yourrcstore.com/store/product138.html), however it doesn't have the remote or the battery charger.

I've looked on google and I can't find the remote or battery charger for sale anywhere :sad: Anyone know where I can get hold of them so I can get it working? :smiley:

Post by: Khare on 05 July 2011, 19:25: Cheers Josho, will pop down the local rc shop and get a charger, already has battery. Remote needs to be the exact one though as it needs to have all the right controls :sad:

Post by: Bellend on 05 July 2011, 23:56: No worries. There are a few types. Didn't spot lack of remote though. That's a shame. You been looking on eBay and that on the off chance?

Also if it only costs $50 you might find it cheaper to buy a whole new tank once you've sourced the right batteries and a new remote.

In fact:

If you go down that route the servos and chip might need changing unless they use generic stuff highly unlikely! Great to see a RC Tank check out my sons tiger tank!

Yeah I've seen that, it's one of the reasons I got this tank, looks so much fun!

I may buy the tank as a whole brand new in the future but at the moment I can't, so it's either get a remote I know will work or nothing :sad:
