I just ordered one. I'll post pics and updates when I get it and a short review. They look pretty nice to me!

I just got one of these yesterday, I ordered it off ebay. It’s not too bad, it’s nothing spectacular, but not bad. It has dual cells and dual motors as you may expect. But the quality control seems to be pretty bad. Just little things, like the charging lid not staying closed, the “on air” light turning on when it’s charging and the “chg” light being on when your driving. Also, it had this big sticker that wrapped all the way around the controller that said combat tank, and some other junk, that was stuck on upside down.
But those cons are rather small and picky if you think about it. For the price you really can’t wrong (with shipping it was $14.44 for me). And they have some good potential, the motors in them are the same size as bits, and I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to hide another cell in the top gun part (I think they call them turrets).
I took a little pic of mine so you can see it, they do look pretty cool. For size reasons it’s sitting with my iracer, a couple of my bits, and my kidriffic truck.

Sure thing... Its just like a bit clone control, but the right/left is replaced by another forward/reverse... I have seen other ceapy tanks on ebay that do have a right/left button tho... I have no idea how it could drive like a tank with a right/left button.
