Tanks
Tamiya's radio controlled tanks have options such as sound, light and optional parts to depict different variants.
M4 Sherman 105 mm
German Tiger II, Production Turret
German Tiger II - Porsche Turret
Tiger I Early Production
M26 Pershing T26E3
Leopard 2A6
German Panther G Jagdpanther
Updated versions of these have some technical and cosmetic innovations over the original models. Also the non-multi function models of the Tigers and Sherman are not made any more.
The latest models (Full Option Kits) have full sound function, fire simulation (barrel moves when fired), the latest Full Option Tank (Leopard 2A6) has an upgrade part available, a barrel stabiliser which keeps the cannon level even with the tank moving.
Also there is a battle function unit for sale, so you can actually fight a tank battle with another Tamiya battle function equipped 1/16 tank..........awesome!
These tanks utilise standard RC modules such as receivers, transmitters and servos that are the same as those used in RC cars, trucks, boats, planes and helicopters. Tamiya's 1/16 scale RC tanks are clearly distinguishable in superb quality from "cheap" tanks from brands like Heng Long and the likes. These Chinese brands do however improve their looks and more and more toy versions are being rebuilt and upgraded as full option "Tamiya-like" tanks, but they're not the same!!
