Remote Control

Yes, this is one “war” that won’t consume barrels of oil-per-mile, as it uses batteries instead to get your battle kicks in. The R/C Shooting Tank boasts up to 40 shells which you can make yourself a nuisance with, and it is modeled after the mighty M1A2 Abrams tank.

Suited and booted with the chunky hand-held controller, you can maneuver your radio controlled tank across a variety of surfaces, with impressive speed and agility. Demolish opposing forces and obliterate the enemy by firing real pellets up to 25 meters with the full force and accuracy of this heavyweight military tank. Hunt your enemy and move stealthily into your chosen position, rotate the turret, aim and fire! You can even command your RC tank to obey your battle orders, as the ingenious battle mode allows you to tap in the route you want the army tank to take and where and when to fire. Press ‘go’ and your model RC tank will roll along too!

The R/C Shooting Tank will retail for £34.95.

Since “Going Green” seems to be the latest thing, I suppose that it is high time that someone made a remote for it. Enter the Energy Saver Remote from One for All, which works by turning all the major AV appliances off instead of putting them in standby.

Standby mode consumes 1.5 watts per hour, which is a total of 11.49 kilowatts per year. That statistic is assuming that the television is on for three hours a day, but I think we all know that most of our TVs play longer than that during a normal day. Especially if you have a satellite receiver, which uses 6 watts per hour (45.99 Kilowatts annually).

The Energy Saver Remote has an On/Off Power Plug that allows a user to plug all their major AV appliances into. The controller also has a special “Green Button” that allows an instant shutoff for these AV devices.
