2-Set M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tanks RC 1/24 Infrared LED Tank R/C US MBT Review

First of all these are NOT models of the M1A2 Abrams main battle tank used by the USA. These are German made LEAPARD II tanks with in many aspects are superior to the Abrams. (You can tell this by the obviously sloping armor displayed by the Leopard II.) But anyway, These tanks are great. They can climb surprizingly steep angles of attack and up to 3 inches vertically at full battery power. They can turn on a dime and the turret swings 359 degrees. The "laser" gunshots are acurate at long range(relatively) and it does sport a machine gun. The battery life is what you would expect from rechagable batteries, but if you leave the battery charging for extended periods of time it diminishes the battery life. I made this mistake because there is no light indicating weather the battery is full. I continue to leave the battery charging to this minute and were the amount of time the tank is operational is shorter it is still fun to play with. It continues to annoy me that it is advertised as an Abrams but I gave it five stars anyway. I guess now that I think about it it only deserves four, but there is an emotional aspect to consider esp. when your driving it over huge pillows and thinking: "This tank is a BEAST!"

Syma S107/S107G R/C Helicopter - Colors may vary Review

I ordered this helicopter along with 3 other helicopters. 3 from Syma and one off brand helicopter. I ordered multiple helicopters because the only ones I have flown have been 2 channel and if one broke I would have backup. I ordered the Syma S107 and S105 at the same time, and the S107 arrived first and the S105 arrived the next day. On my frist flight of the S107 I was suprised how stable and smooth the flight was. The box says 14 and up but I think anyone could control this helicopter. It goes up, down, left, right, forward, and backwards, all at a balanced speed thats good for indoor flight. It is not too slow to be boring or too fast that you can't controll it. The trim button on the controller is pretty much not needed because it does not spin out of control. I still havnt adjusted the trim after about 20 flights. Also, both Syma helicopters are VERY durable since they are made of metal and hard plastic. The blades are also durable. There are some differences in the S107 and S105. The S105 is slightly wider and slightly longer. It also has two LED lights on each side and one in the front, a total of 6, which can be cool or annoying, it just depends on preference. The s107 has a single light on the front. The S105 seems to spin out more than the S107 and is more difficult to trim. This is an obvious flaw that was addressed with the newer S107, because it does not spin out at all. They both can be charged with the controller or through a USB port on your computer which is good if you don't want to waste your batteries on your controller. They both use 6 AA batteries in the controller. Both helicopters are extremely durable and have been crashed several times. My only complaint with them is the flight time is only around 5 minutes, although I don't have anything to compare it to because the other 2 helicopters I ordered are still not here yet after about a week and a half. Also, the only option for shipping is standard shipping. Overall I would recommend the S107 over the S105 because of the trim issue with the S105, but both are excellent helicopters and they are a very good price.
