The tank is capable of rolling over a [wide array of terrain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arctic-trucks-toyota-land-cruiser-250-at37) including loose dirt or stones, while also being able to handle any kind of impact without causing it to falter in its functionality. The unit also has an [amphibious functionality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoquad-v2) that will enable it to take to the water at the leisure of the operator. The XRC Brawler gets its power from 12 LiPo cells that will enable it to operate as fast as 35mph and is constructed with a custom suspension that provides more than 70mm of clearance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Remote-controlled Tanks:** The growing demand for remote-controlled tanks in the hobby and entertainment industries presents an opportunity for innovative designs and features. - **Amphibious Vehicles:** The development of amphibious features in remote-controlled vehicles creates potential applications in the military and marine industries. - **High-speed Performance:** The increase in demand for high-performance remote-controlled vehicles presents opportunities for improvements in speed, maneuverability, and durability. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hobby:** Remote-controlled tanks offer potential growth in the hobby industry for enthusiasts interested in military vehicles and technology. - **Entertainment:** The use of remote-controlled tanks with advanced features can create opportunities in the entertainment industry for realistic battle scenarios and simulations. - **Military:** Development of remote-controlled vehicles with amphibious capabilities presents potential uses in the military for reconnaissance, surveillance, and logistical operations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Angular Remote-Controlled Tanks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rc-kit.md) - [Remote-Controlled Monster Truck Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-wheels-monster-trucks-hw-transforming-rhinomite-rc.md) - [DIY All-Terrain Tanks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allterrain-tank.md) - [Motion Control Combat Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ganker-ex-pro.md) - [Modernized Superhero RC Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-wheels-rc-original-edition-batmobile.md) - [Powerfully Versatile Underwater Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerfully-versatile-underwater-drone.md) - [Camera-Equipped Remote Control Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snt-micro-fpv-car.md) - [Life-Sized Electric Toy Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-one-max.md) - [Modular Electric Utility Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2x2-ultra-bike.md)
