Re: Corgi v. HobbyMaster Armor

Hawkone,

Are you familiar with the Hobby Master RC tanks in 1:56 scale? Do they look very just like the diecast armor released this year? What functionality do they have? I am thinking maybe I could have some extra fun by combining my hobby using the RC tanks and my family's own tigers (cats). I skipped the 1:56 armor because of the odd scale, but after reading the reviews at your (excellent) website I am having second thoughts. Thanks.

Hi.

I haven't personally seen one but they are the exact same model as the regular 1/56 tanks. They were produced with the ability to add the r/c equipment so I think this is why they went with a 1/56 scale. Apparently the r/c stuff is very big in China and Russia. Here is what I copied off my Tech Power page.
Tanks: Come with two micro motors, the two tracks can be controlled separately to give you real tank steering. Can easily perform movements like running forward/backward, turning and
climbing or descending a slope. Three frequencies are available: 27, 40, 49Mhz.
Batteries: Requires 3 x AAA, 1 x 9 volt.

I hope this helps you out.

Dave
