The electronic toy market is highly competitive which means margins are often razor thin. A ton of creativity goes into making awesome toys with the least amount of parts and manufacturing effort.
Lewin Day got his hands on an RC tank battle toy that falls into this category. After altogether too much fun playing with them, he tears down his R/C battle tanks to see what makes them tick.

"Great tear down, nice! Thanks for sharing.
BTW, if the small DC motors are commutated as they usually are, they generate a
lot of high frequency noise. That noise can interfere with the control IC and a
way to avoid that is to a) shield the motor, b) get all that noise to a common
ground that has very low impedance, and that noise (rapid changes of potential
between terminals) is shorted with decoupling capacitors before they get to the
sensitive ICs. See more here for example:

I had a similar toy ... that was just very fun for that size !
I had one of these but it wasn't a battle tank, you just drive it. it was pretty
slow. I do have a regular size battle tank and everything works but I had to
make a battery for it. it moves pretty good but the tracks seem to want to come
off a lot.
Great video! thanks for the explanation... how can I slow down the tank? it
seems to be to much fast for me...
mine is steering to right-side when driving forward. have you encountered a
similar tendency? would it be due to the asymmetric wheels, tracks, bushing or
due to motors themselves?
TI branded LM358 op-amp for charge management? Someone must be the first, i
guess.:)
