We ordered this for my son for Christmas. It was delivered timely and it works exactly as described. The problem is this is not an Abrams Tank. It is a replica of a Japanese P90 tank. That being said, it is a lot of fun to play with and it works very well. But I don't know if I ever would have purchased it if I had known what it really was. Watch out for the Airsoft pellets because this shoots with some velocity.

Granted, we have only had this tank one week, but it has endured a lot! My son was extatic when he discovered it CHRISTmas morning! We were just hoping it wouldn't be broken before the end of the day. Beware, despite threats to not shoot your brother, "accidents" happen - this thing STINGS!!! but thus far nothing fatal. The only down time this thing has had was when the boys were sleeping, while the battery was charging, or when someone was in trouble for "accidently" shooting each other. Believe it or not, the youngest tempts his brother to shoot him (???counseling in his future???). This tank has knocked down block towers, taken on enemy (non-motorized) tanks, and gone over an amazing amount of obstacles to check out its "suspension". I am truly pleased with its performance thus far!!!

I must say this is an exceptional tank. It is well constructed, with a attention to the detail. The firing mechanism has a safety to prevent accidents and the overall motion is very realistic. My son loves to play with it and I can't resist a few minutes of fun neither. Certainly a keeper.

Operates better than advertised. A battery charge lasts a very long time. Great traction, goes just about anywhere. Canon fires much further than I thought it would. Easy to control. Bought it to drive my dogs crazy, which, it does remarkably well.

Tank looks realistic enough for a plastic tank. Movement is GREAT! Turret spins quickly. And my son's favorite part!!! - it shoots plastic bbs. You can raise it up (or go down) to aim higher (or lower). The instructions could use some work, but overall not difficult to understand for what you need. This was my son's favorite present. Although I do agree it is NOT meant for driving through the dirt and grass outside. It will get inside the tracks and make it not drive very well. This is pointed out in the instructions as well. My son uses it in the house and shoots at targets. Otherwise, drives great.

This is a great toy for playing on hard surfaces. Not meant for grass or dirt.

My 10 year old has enjoyed this tank. We bought two because we thought he would play with them more with a friend. He has played very little by himself. He enjoys placing army men for targets while playing with his friend.

I would HIGHLY recommend that those around even if not playing wear safety glasses. Also, when my son plays there are NO children or small animals around. These bbs can bounce of things and easily hurt someone or animal.

Don't hesitate to buy. Just be sure to be safe and keep them on hardwood floors, driveways and so on. Also, consider how much they will be played with individually and if there are responsible friends to play too (if your child is very social and needs them to make it fun).

This tank was really frustrating for me. It is an absolute blast to drive around, and having a turret that actually shoots quadruples the fun BUT.... the manufacturer, Heng Long, doesn't seem to care much about the quality of their products. If you read... actually, if you can decipher the poorly translated manual, you are instructed to thoroughly test the tank to make sure it works before you attach the included accessories to it (hatch figurine, decal stickers, etc.). Huh? That should have been a warning sign. The tank I received usually wouldn't respond to the remote's input, when it did, occasionally it would do something it shouldn't, for instance, pressing the turret rotate button sometimes made the tank drive straight forward. The last straw for me was when I pressed the turret rotate button and the tank drove in front of me, rotated the turret slightly (it just happened to be pointing at me!), turned on the red shooting light, and began to charge up to shoot a BB. No, it didn't fire the BB, I shut off the remote in time. But that little "Chucky" incident forced me to send the tank back. Kudos to Amazon's wonderful return system! If I ever see these RC tanks manufactured to a higher quality standard by a better company, I will purchase one. But I will not purchase any tank currently on the Internet at this time, as they all seem to be made by Heng Long.

It's toys like this that make being a Grandma so much fun.

This was a gift for my 9 year old grandson and he flipped out. He loved it. The service is great and I totally trust Amazon for all my purchases.

out of all the radio controlled cars and trucks i own this one is my favorite. its fun to drive but even funer to shoot things with it.

i love this tank i bought as a gift i love what it can do but its made so cheap one track keep coming off its looser then other one so it only makes turn onside when you fix that track it comes off within 5 minutes other than that its fun to play with and shoot target
