THE VS Tank Pro Review

vs tank pro 1/24

We recently got our hands on two VS Tank Pro vehicles. The M4A3 Sherman (USA) and the Pz.753 (German) seemed like good choices. We opted for the infrared instead of the Airsoft versions because we knew with Cubby around we’d have bb holes in walls and bruised shins. On the official VS Tank website the vehicles look pretty dang cool, so how do they look in person? How do they operate? Keep reading to see our review…

Cubby and I had a total blast thrashing each other with some VS Tanks at iHobby 2011. Heck, even after the show doors were closed we were over in that booth blowing each other up. Way cool stuff. VS Tank has a new 1/24 Scale King Tiger Henschel that looks totally awesome. Realistic lights, sounds, rotating turret, the works. Best of all, it’s all set to fight other VS Tanks with some infrared beams.

Make sure you check out VS Tank for the scoop.

Rolling…and…fire! VS Tanks has a new 1/24 scale Zero Edition RTR tank that is ready for battle. The tank includes realistic sound effects, full off-road capabilty, and an infrared beam that registers hits on an opposing tank’s sensor. Five hits and the opposing tank is “destroyed”. Each tank features 3 forward speeds, reverse, left and right turns, even stationay pivots. The turret even rotates 330°. They come completely essembled out of the box, with a two-stick controller included. Just add 14 “AA” batteries and you’re ready to battle. They will be avaliable in late June for a street price of $89.99.

Make sure you check out VS Tanks for all the details. I’m seriously considering a couple of these for an office war :)

They come with a video game style controller, all wheel suspension, can climb steep inclines and the turrets can even rotate! The canon moves up and down and recoils after firing an infrared beam at opponent tanks. If hit, the tank stops for 3 seconds, and after the 6th hit it’s disabled! Pretty cool!
