I ordered a radio-controlled tank from a video I saw on Facebook.
The video showed a Silver tank doing various maneuvers, one of which was pulling an automobile. Another showed an Asian man standing on top of the tank and riding it around.
The printed description of the ordered tank showed its' weight as 7.35 kg.(3.75 lbs.) and its' size as 42*25*22. The construction was mostly metal and some plastic. The power source was a re-chargeable battery
The tank I received was a camouflage color, weight is only 1.7 lbs., size is only 16.53*9.84*8.66.. The construction is all plastic. It requires four(4) AA batteries.
The tank I received is nowhere the size or weight nor of the construction material as the one in the video. It certainly cannot support the weight even of a small Asian man nor pull even the smallest automobile.
I believe the video was a bait and switch type scam. There are several different companies show a variation of the the tank I ordered. All the videos have different prices for the tank.
I sent the seller a request for a full refund. After waiting four days, I sent another e-mail advising I would file a claim with PayPal if I did not hear from them within 24 hours. I has been almost 48 hours and I haven't received any reply at all.

seems I cannot upload the pictures at the moment.
I made the same mistake back in October. what I received was a "kit" tank as you will see from the photos.
I have also raised a complaint with PayPal which is ongoing.
