This is the 1/16th Scale Electric Powered, Radio Controlled,
Tamiya M4 Sherman Tank.
This Howitzer equipped version was developed as a fire support
vehicle that fired high explosion anti-tank shells
and greatly contributed to the Allied victory in WWII.
This kit reproduces the HVSS suspension equipped late production version.
FEATURES:
Chassis: 1mm thick Duralumin (aluminum).
Motors: Two 380 type with pre-installed connectors.
Main Action: Forward, reverse, turning and pivoting can be controlled
at every speed. The engine sound is a digital recording of a real
M4 Sherman engine that changes pitch with throttle changes. Turret
can be rotated 360° with realistic rotation sounds.
When tank is stopped, turret rotation can be controlled by the
transmitter stick. Elevation, lowering and moving of the Howitzer
cannon with accompanying sounds are also controllable by the
transmitter.
Sound and Visual Effects: The DMD Multi-Function Unit provides sound
effects such as the Howitzer and machine gun fire, engine sounds
and hull recoil action. Sound effects are faithfully reproduced by
a large 2.5" (63mm) speaker.
Gearbox: Open, preassembled with plastic and die-cast metal gears.
Body: Plastic Olive Drab highly detailed with all fittings. Jerry
cans, ammunition boxes and K-ration cases are loaded on the rear as
accessories.
Tracks: Pre-assembled lightweight resin. Metal shafts are used to
connect track links for added durability.
Speed Control: Electronic, DMD Control Unit controls forward, reverse
turret rotation, Howitzer and machine gun firing and movement.
