special_combat_force Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Maybe this shouldn't even be on the forums... but hey, it fire BBs! lol Anyways, TM apparantly is releasing M1A2 ABRAMS tank on 31st of May in Japan. Here's the link: http://tokyo-marui.co.jp/products/rcbattle...m1a2/index.html Looks like some improvements has been made on this (as you can expect from Marui, they keep improving!) If any of you want the detailed info on what's improved, I can type it up, but if none of you are interested it's just useless! lol Let me know if you are interested and I will do it ASAP Link to post Share on other sites
n00b3r Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I'm interested. Translate the improvements for me? ™ Link to post Share on other sites
Coop Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hell yeah I'm interested. I had 2 of these before (The german one and the japanese one) and they both have made it to the airsoft junk pile due to broken treds. The rubber really should go, and they should just make them metal. It'll cut down battery power significantly, but hey, at least the tracks wont break mid-combat. Link to post Share on other sites

Bada Bing Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 every summer i promise myself that il get one but never ending up with one. I borrowed a friends M1A2 and chased my cat with it. But she's too fast, luckily the 6mm cannon on it picks her off at range joke ... i would never hurt my cat with it, poor thing would hurt too much, a dog with poofy fur works best. I suppose they're be around the same price range. Link to post Share on other sites
The Original SaXoN Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 but hey, at least the tracks wont break mid-combat. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> WTF ? Mid combat, what sort of combat ? Or do you use it as an entry robot in CQB a'la Metal storm. I'n which case will they be doing a RIS/RAS mount for it Link to post Share on other sites
special_combat_force Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hey, didn't know that so many people are interested in BB tanks (I've had one as well, and I remember me having so much fun lol) 1/24 RC Battle Tank.
