So, my little girl is starting to get a handle on how to drive an RC tank.  I am very proud of her, and definitely thinking of getting her a 1/30 RC tank for her 5th birthday.  And, I was looking see if Heng Long had expanded beyond the Sherman and Pershing, and found this listing on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003582543470.html

And the first item in the description was:

"Many parents think that the term “national defense” is too heavy for children in the popularization of national defense science education, but as a builder and protector of the future of the motherland, it is necessary to understand basic national defense knowledge."

Um...

...yeah.  I didn't think there was a way to make this hobby creepy, but AliExpress found one.

Check this out Robert. Look better than the Heng Long ones

I don't know, man...these tanks don't seem to be trying to brainwash my children at all!  Are we sure we can trust them?

Removing my tongue from my cheek, those look pretty good...definitely worth considering in general.  Thanks!
