Developed as a countermeasure to the Soviet T-34, the German Panther tank is often referred to as the best tank of WWII. Tamiya is now proud to present this famous tank as the latest member of the 1/16 scale R/C tank lineup. With a length of 572mm, there's no doubt that this R/C kit is massive, and it comes with a dizzying amount of detail. Featuring an aluminum barrel for the 75mm main gun, pre-assembled resin tracks, and die-cast metal parts for the main chassis, suspension arms, and torsion bars, this kit exemplifies Tamiya's trademark quality. In addition to its great looks, this tank is fun to drive, with two gearboxes realistically replicating tank movement. Turret rotation, main gun elevation/depression, main gun/machine gun firing, can all be controlled via 4-channel transmitter. LED light flashes accompany both main gun and machine gun firing, and realistic recoil action accompanies main gun firing as well to provide an exciting tank simulation experience. Kit conveniently includes 4-channel transmitter and 7.2V running battery & charger for instant action straight from the box (Japan market only), and you can install the separately available battle system for realistic battles with other Tamiya 1/16 R/C tanks.
