Widely recognized as the best modern day Main Battle Tank (MBT), Tamiya introduces the latest German Leopard 2 tank, the Leopard 2 A6, to the 1:16 scale R/C tank series. Tamiya's biggest R/C tank ever, it's just like driving the real thing! Evolved DMD unit The T-07 DMD unit provides the 1:16 R/C Leopard 2 A6 with more features than any other Tamiya R/C tank. The T-07 unit matches engine sound (which has been digitally recorded from a real MB873-Ka 501 turbo-charged diesel engine) with tank movements, & controls various lightning combinations activated easily with transmitter. Turret rotation, gun elevation & firing sounds also add to the realism of this model. The T-07 unit & 7.2V battery are mounted in the turret for easy & quick accessibility. Smooth turret & gun movement In order to obtain smooth rotation, the turret ring has been equipped with 20 steel balls. The newly designed system for gun elevation & recoil effect features a servo for more realistic movements. While rotating turret with gun in lowered position, the gun automatically raises & goes back to its initial position to avoid the engine deck, like the actual tank. Synchronized light & sound effects The R/C Leopard 2 A6 is equipped with a sound speaker unit mounted at the center of the hull. A xenon flash tube is used to make gun firing more convincing. When fired, main gun recoils & then goes back smoothly to its initial position thanks to a gearbox mounted in the turret. Of course, these actions are coupled with sound effects which have been digitally recorded from the actual tank. High mobility transmission The R/C Leopard is powered by 2 high-torque Type 540 motors. A specially designed gearbox allows smooth power transmission at both low & high speeds. This system accurately imitates the transmission of the actual tank. One motor controls forward/backward movement & the other motor allows the tank to turn & rotate. Suspension comes equipped with torsion bars that give this model high mobility.7 lighting combinations The R/C leopard 2 A6 features various workable lights such as headlights, tail lamps, brake lights, black-out lights & rotating light. Model features 7 lighting combinations, 4 for tank during combat operations & 3 during non-combat operations. Main gun & axial machinegun also flash when fired. Metal parts for accuracy Kit
