Shocking Tanks review
Don't be fooled into thinking these tanks are just a toy, there is so much high-tech genius built into these tanks we expect our biggest customer will be the main battle tank training division of the Australian army. But to sum it up - Shocking Tanks is you and your opponent with two radio controlled tanks in a fierce mental and physical battle. Each Tank is equipped with an infra-red cannon. Every time you hit your opponent's tank, they get a painful electric shock from controller. The object of the game is to knock your opponent's tank out of commission, and make your enemy suffer in the process.
The Tanks - They move forwards and backwards and run on tracks just like real main battle tanks. Each track runs separately via the controller's left and right throttles giving you superb control and allows the tanks to make sharp turns to launch surprise attacks or seek cover in a hurry (trust us, this will come in handy!). The tanks accurately detect an infra-red canon hit on its surface. There are six lights on top of each tank. When a tank is hit, it emits concussion sounds and rocks forward and back. Also, the lights go out (more on this in a moment).
The Controllers - In order to control your tank, you must make contact with metal strips on the controller. When your tank is hit, you receive a painful shock from the controller (there is a wrist strap you can wear which prevents the controller from hitting the floor if you drop it :-). The controllers also emit sounds further increasing the atmosphere of the battle.

A direct hit on the tank shocks the driver via the control unit!
