A remote control game system, comprising two or more game sets, each game set having one or more remote control vehicles and an associated control console, each of the remote control vehicles having:

• a vehicle body;
• one or more offensive components mounted with the vehicle body, each of the offensive components operable to communicate at least one offensive signal;
• a plurality of sensors mounted with the vehicle body, each of the sensors located at a different area of the vehicle body and operable to detect an offensive signal thereupon and, in response thereto, generate a hit signal received from an offensive signal from a second source separate from the vehicle;
• and
• one or more drive components (a) responsive to commands from the control console, to move the vehicle body and operate the offensive components and (b) responsive to the hit signal,
• wherein the hit signal will degrade operation one of a particular one of the drive components and the offensive components while leaving operation of another one of the drive components and offensive components unaffected, based upon the location of the sensor generating the hit signal.
