Cheerwing 1:72 German Tiger I Panzer Tank Remote Control Mini RC Tank

There are many revisions of the tank and controller judging from the images of others. Some have an antenna which is why I took mine apart, no antenna in this version. There's a spot for it on the PCB and range is fair (20-30 feet). I modified it with a custom 3D printed FPV camera mount as a DIY platform for a home plumbing inspection bot. Need something that can turn around within a 3 or 4" pipe and this can do it. After playing with it for about an hour figured out there is a speed control and wide turn but the way you use them is unintuitive and the supplied directions are useless. The speed control is indeed the top trigger button as other have mentioned but the difference in speed is almost imperceptible. You can hear the sound difference the servo's make when in "high" or "low" speed mode but it's so minor its almost imperceptible. The wide turn buttons aren't a mode switch, they're a setting and a real pain to deal with. You have to click them many times and the pre-programmed arc of forward/reverse gets tighter with each setting. To go back to driving straight though you must manually undo the wide turn mode by setting the arc in the opposite direction until you're straight. This could take up to 20 button presses to accomplish. Less than ideal but the feature does work, its in there. The turret actually spins in 360, each button press toggles the turret to reverse direction which I took advantage of for mounting an FPV camera. There is no servo to raise or lower the turret. It's on a spring which actually makes the movement quite realistic and enjoyable to watch. The construction is great but i'll ripping most of it apart since the charging port, speaker, and on/off switch are on the bottom which is really bad for driving over anything liquid. There's a tiny 110mah lipo in the tank and it lasts a good while, very power efficient. For my project I'll probably have to upgrade the battery. I'm extremely happy with the purchase. It's actually better quality than I was expecting. There's no way I could make those tiny tank treads on my 3D printer. The turret & treads are delicate and probably won't last long in the hands of a small child and to my knowledge there's no way to purchase replacement treads separately. I would love to be able to purchase them separately to have spares. It's extremely hard to find an RC car let alone a tank this small. I wish the turret had a servo to go up/down. Honestly this tank is darn near perfect and I'll probably buy another.

We shipped this to one of our three grandsons who lives in Alabama (we're in Arizona), and who is into all things military, especially WWII militaria; tanks, trucks, figures, weapons and planes. We were told he absolutely "lost it" when he opened the box and nearly "shut down" when he saw the several "4 packs" of "Call of Duty" figures we also sent. However, this little tank was the top gift he received in his estimation and best yet it was something he was not expecting expecting the least. I bought this "Tiny Tiger" because 1) it had the highest review grades of all the RC WWII Tanks displayed 2) It had sound, recoil, 360° turret rotation and adequate detail. 3) it was something myself, a 65yr old man would wish he could have had when he was 8 yrs old... I thought it was just cool! My son, "his dad" told me the tank did run weird and had a slight hesitation problem, but assume have since assumed it was corrected as i have not gotten a negative update on the condition. Besides, at $20 bucks a replacement toy is easily done should something terminal occur. So I very highly recommend to anyone tk buy this toy as a gift for someones initial foray into the world of RC Tank/vehicle models/toys, or to have it to play with this "Tiny Tiger Tank" themselves!

4/5 if you love Tiger tanks, but maybe a 2 or 3 otherwise. I ordered two. They both use the same channel. Pros - It's inexpensive. It looks really nice visually. The sounds are okay: loud and sort of accurate-sounding. I dropped it on the floor a few times and it didn't shatter. I haven't run it for more than a few minutes, so the battery may suck. It's pretty fun and I plan to modify it. I think the cat might learn to like it. Cons - overall crappy execution of the idea. It sucks at pretending to be a Tiger tank. The controls are terrible and simplistic, and I'm sure the gearing is from a race car or something - it's stupidly quick and way too responsive. It gets boring fast. It charges off the controller, which uses 4 AA batteries. It'll probably break before long. I doubt I'd buy another one, but if you want a tiny R/C Tiger MkI you might want one of these in your toy box.

I'm the type of guy who reads the description and details of everything I buy. A lot of the time I get disappointed because some feature mentioned doesn't work as neatly as it's described. Happens everywhere, right? Not here. Everything works exactly as the description painted my mind's image as. Excellent detail for a 1/72 toy, incredibly durable (I've accidentally driven it off several multi-foot drops and it's just bounced and kept going when set on it's tracks), and lots of fun. My personal favorite thing is to drive it over a dirt path or in an area that's just dirt and imagine it hunting Cromwells and Cruisers and M3 Lee's. The only thing I don't like is the low gear setting. It's only a slight difference from the high speed gear setting. It could stand to be a bit slower, but that's my own personal opinion. The battery in the tank lasts for a good 20'ish minutes, and it recharges in about 10-15. That maybe because of the batteries I have in the controller (Energizer Ultimate Lithiums), but I'm loving it. All in all, this is well worth the price tag. I don't know how long it'll last or when it'll eventually break and I gut it to make a small diorama and immortalize it, but untill then, I'm going to enjoy every minute it gives me.

The tank is cute and fun to play with once I got it working. Right out of the box the tank would not run. When switched on the front red LED would light up with engine sounds on. But it would not respond to any commands from the remote. I thought the tank needed charging so I plugged it to the remote but the remote light didn't come on. (According to the instructions, the light would come on until the tank is fully charged so I thought the tank came fully charged.) After some investigation I found the connections in the battery compartment to be loose and no power was going to the remote. This is basic quality control. Make sure something as mundane as the battery compartment is sound. (I think this is the reason for some of the poor reviews.) Once I tightened the connection terminals and got the remote working the tank works as advertised. One thing I dislike is the turning speed, it is simply too fast and extremely hard to control. If it can be slowed down then the tank would be a lot more fun.

This little thing is pretty awesome. I got two as presents, and they were both loved. It feels like a solidly built toy, and the plastic isn't too cheap and flimsy. Plus, it has a bunch of sweet functions such as forward, backward, zero-turning, turret rotation, kickback when you fire it, and lights and sounds. Plus, the tank itself plugs into the remote to charge, so the 4 AA batteries are all you need. Pros: - it suprised me with all the little details and functions - it's pretty fast (even though the speed isn't to scale) - plastics feel decent - packaging looks cool and has a sweet compartment for the remote. Also, the design doesn't look reslly cheasily put together in a Chinese factory. It looks and feels like a solid reputable toy. Anddd then you open the instructions... a little tricky to understand, but there isn't much to it anyway Cons: - it's very small, and I can see pet hairs getting caught pretty easily and clogging up the axles (expected from this scale anyway) - one of the remotes wasn't controlling the tank, so I popped it open and soldered a wire that had popped out of the circuit board. It was an easy fix, and was probably because as soon as I got it, I dropped the box onto concrete from about 4 feet up. Nothing else broke, so Im happy with it! - there are two mysterious buttons on the remote that don't do anything, or at least I haven't figured it out yet. They don't work on either of the two I bought, so I'm guessing I just don't understand

This tank could easily be a five star product!! While it was working it was great fun! Looked super cool and controlled pretty well! The cats were curious about it but steered clear of it. So what’s the issue with this toy? The charging plug. Pure and simple. Change that to a better design and you guys have a winner! After two charges the pin inside of the tank that attaches to the charging cable of the controller, broke. I have read other reviews (AFTER I bought it) that had the same issue. It’s not a crazy expensive toy, but it should last longer than two charge-ups. Anyway, as stated above if they can fix the charging part of this toy, they have a great RC tank!! But in its current state I can’t recommend it. Which sucks because it’s so cool!! When it works it controls pretty well and makes a great Diesel engine sound too! The canon firing sound could use some MAJOR improvement though. The turret spins and it has some great detail! I have read other reviews about faulty treads but I can’t attest to that. If you buy one, just be aware that it might not last that long. 😕

Bought as a Christmas gift for our 11 year old son. So far it runs great. The turret rotates, running sounds, fires and we laughed about the cool recoil after firing! This is very small and quite fast! Runs from hardwood to our berber carpet without any problems. Our son created ramps and obstacle courses and it handled them with ease. (As long as the ramp isn't too steep) He also used it to push around his Magic 8 Ball! Boys will be boys!! Charging time is minimal, of course it is small, so it doesn't need much. May have to purchase another for his upcoming birthday. Highly recommend! I wish they made other types of tanks besides the Tiger/Panzer.

Fácil de usar y la carga dura un buen.

The Product looks Good but, after reading the reviews I am a bit hesitant on how long it’s going to Last. It shouldn’t have Batteries in this Day and Age. They both should be Rechargeable.

A mi hijo le ha encantado y juega con el desde el sabado 6 de enero, y funciona muy bien.

No me gustó el color de camuflaje que me enviaron. Pero el tanque está bien Funciona correctamente
