Buying guide
How to Choose an RC Tank
Choose a single tank or a twin pack
The SULIFEVIP T-90 1:30 RC Tank (Green) supplies a single tank. The 7JI C6-11B Infrared RC Battle Tank Set comes with two tanks and separate handsets so both players can start with the same battle system.
Check infrared versus projectile firing
The Hitish TJ206B Infrared RC Battle Tanks uses infrared to register hits. The Supdex M1A2 Abrams 1:18 RC Tank fires physical BBs. Check the exact version and follow its package instructions and warnings.
Match scale and dimensions to the space
A 1:30 tank such as the SULIFEVIP T-90 1:30 RC Tank (Green) usually needs less space than a 1:18 replica. Compare actual dimensions, including the barrel, before choosing.
Look at the tracks, turret and effects
The Supdex Tiger I ZY021-812PRO 1:18 RC Tank has alloy tracks and a rotating turret. Other tanks focus on lights, sound or compact handling. Check which movements the handset controls and which are adjusted by hand.
Check both battery requirements
The Hitish 680-6 RC Tank supplies two rechargeable tank batteries. A handset may use separate batteries. Check whether the box includes a charging cable and any power adaptor you need.

Common questions
RC Tank FAQs
Are these RC tanks ready to run?
The tanks featured here come assembled. Charge or fit the tank battery, check whether the handset needs batteries and follow the setup instructions for the exact model.
How do infrared RC tanks register hits?
An infrared signal from one tank is detected by the other. On the Hitish TJ206B Infrared RC Battle Tanks, rear lights show how many lives remain during a battle.
Which RC tank set includes two controllers?
The 7JI C6-11B Infrared RC Battle Tank Set includes two tanks and two controllers. The HUAJUN Infrared RC Battle Tanks (Green and Cream) also supplies separate handsets for the green and cream tanks.
Will infrared tanks from different brands work together?
Check compatibility for the exact models. A matched twin pack comes with tanks designed for the same battle system.
Can I get an RC tank that fires BBs?
Yes. The Supdex M1A2 Abrams 1:18 RC Tank is a BB-firing edition. Check the manufacturer’s instructions, warnings and ammunition requirements for the exact model.
What do the scale numbers mean?
A 1:18 model is one eighteenth of the size of the original subject. Compare the finished model’s dimensions, since different full-size tanks and barrel lengths can affect how much space a model takes up.
Do RC tanks include batteries for both the tank and controller?
Check each item separately. The 7JI C6-11B Infrared RC Battle Tank Set includes rechargeable tank batteries, while the handsets use separate batteries.
