Not sure what to buy him, but he loves this Heng Long Tiger Tank!
It shoots BB to 25Ft and has metal tracks, chassis with solid metal gearing, smoke, 1/6 scale so its big and weighs about 20 odd KG LOL.
He wanted originally a Spitfire plane, but he is only 9 years old so a tank might be better?
Any other good ideas?

thats a rather cool rc tank! plane is a bit much for 9 year old i would think!

Holy sh!t that's awesome!

Heres the plan: Buy one for your son and when he is at school you can play with it  I

That looks cool nice with the smoke. I don't know what they use for the smoke but I would make sure its not some ridiculously expensive smoke fluid.
I recon a plane is a bit much.

I think its just cooking oil they use not sure though.... I can upgrade the BB gun to Co2 proberly 250fps with a better spring, but can't trust him with it at 9yrs, the pets would get shot!
I was shocked at the price of the Tamiya ones jees price of an old golf some.....
One good thing the tracks and gear train is metal unlike the early plastic ones that broke very quickly.
Top speed 15MPH on a tank

Deffo get tank. Planes get expensive when they crash and trust me he WILL stuff it into a tree or the floor. I've done it several times already with an RC plane I have in Spain.

Tank looks great, always wanted one!

Haaa my RC days are well behind me! TBH I did have a few quality ones, passed them on over the years to relatives shame I loved my petrol buggys and trucks  Its weird after 20 odd years coming back to them  :embarassed:

Hey Khare yeah I can handle helicopters but planes especially landing them is an issue even for me
