Tamiya has put incredible power and versatility of the German Tiger I in your fingertips with this 1/16 scale, fully functional R/C tank. Just some of the many functions this tank is capable of have been recorded in the video clips below. First check out the firing of the main cannon, complete with true to life flash and cannon recoil. The shot is so powerful that it actually causes the tank itself to recoil, just like the full size Tiger I. Then, click on the next image to see the cannon rotate, tracking down the enemy and preparing to fire. Next is the firing of the authentically recreated 7.92mm MG34 machine gun! Finally, take a gander at how the Tiger I moves on its durable resin and metal tracks. (Please understand that downloading images may take some time.) 
*1/16 scale Radio Controlled Assembly Model Kit
*A four-channel RC unit is necessary to operate this
kit.
Two 7.2V Tamiya Racing Packs (or equivalent)
and
charger are also required.

Unstoppable

tracks.

Powerful
engine sound
Just about every sound the real Tiger I made
can be made on Tamiya's 1/16 scale Tiger I.
When the tank is switched on, either a
manual crank start sound, or an automatic
engine start sound is heard. After your
engine is turned over, its time to move the
tank around. As you accelerate, the engine
thundering increases just like the real
Tiger I. Stop the tank, and the sound of
authentic idling begins. Once you have
located your target, rotate the massive
turret and listen to the grinding of gears
of the real German war machine. The more you
control this R/C tank, the more you will
feel like the commander of the full size
Tiger I !
About
the Engine Sound
The sound of the engine was digitally
recorded from a real Ford GAF liquid cooled
V8 engine of the M26 Pershing at the Ropkey
Armor Museum. All the variation of sound of
the real engine but also all the metallic
clanking of the track has been thoroughly
recorded. |
