German Tiger 1 North Africa Upgrade Edition 1/16 Scale Heavy Tank - RTR from Heng Long - HLG3818-005

The German Tiger I tank, deployed in North Africa in late 1942, was a formidable force with its thick armor and powerful 88mm gun. To suit the desert environment, Tigers were repainted in tropical camouflage—typically a base coat of sand-yellow, sometimes with brown or olive-green disruptive patterns. These tanks served under the command of Erwin Rommel’s Afrika Korps, primarily in Tunisia. Despite mechanical issues in harsh desert conditions, the Tiger I instilled fear among Allied forces with its unmatched firepower.

This Heng Long Upgrade Edition contains economical, lightweight plastic tracks, road wheels, and idlers, while an extensive feature list includes lights, exhaust smoke, realistic sound system, Infrared battle system, airsoft BB launch, and more! All of Motion RC’s Heng Long 1/16 scale tanks utilize the latest TK7.0 MFCB for outstanding control, performance, and upgrade potential!

Exhaust Effect The included glycerin-based "exhaust effect" fluid simulates engine exhaust for added realism, conveniently controlled by a transmitter switch.

Realistic Operation 320 degree turret traverse, 30 degree cannon elevation, programmable track recoil, and four different sound sets put you in complete control.

Features:

• Latest generation TK7.0 multi-function control board (MFCB)

• Volume (five settings including off)
• Four different sound sets. Each contains a unique engine start, idle, accelerating, traverse, elevate, machine gun, cannon firing, and shutdown sound
• Track Recoil (three settings from low, medium, and high)—this shudders the tank briefly rearward to simulate recoil when firing the main cannon
• Fires a 6mm plastic BB (10 meters with minimal accuracy and limited velocity, but should still be treated with caution and with adequate eye protection)
