You can also change the climbing gradient depending on the road surface. Most of the models that you can find in stores have sound effects similar to that of machine guns, can fire plastic BB ammo, and smoke from their turrets upon firing. With all these amazing features, modern RC tanks are made more realistic. The radio controls are used in moving RC tanks forward and backward as well as climb steep slopes and terrains. The models that you can find today are mostly made of a combination of plastic and metal parts. The professional versions are usually upgraded with tracks made of metal and rubber treads making them appear very realistic. Moreover, the details like metal gearbox, guns, sounds, markings, and figures of commanders in the tank hatch make them look just the same as the genuine tanks used in a real battle. It is common for RC tanks nowadays to engage in mock battles with other tanks. This is made possible by choosing a different channel from the ones that you going to play with. Most RC tanks come with radio controllers in pre-select channels and they run on 27 MHz to 40 MHz normally.
