Here's one of the last of a vanishing breed-- almost as in real life: Tamiya's #56005,
M4 Sherman 105mm Howitzer in a 2-channel RC format. It features Tamiya's first Digital Twin Motor Differential (DMD) control unit in a tank kit: T-01. This kit is for both the adventurous RC enthusiast & the collector.
The enthusiast will appreciate the roominess of the interior, which allows for greater power & more after-market features.
The collector will appreciate the early issue features, like the metal tracks & the almost naive simplicity of a 2-channel system (not quite vintage, but on its way). & the remaining features either have become standard on Tamiya's 1:16 RC tanks or are continuously improved for each release.
Special Feature:
When you order this model, you also receive the
Tamiya #53400, Rotational Turret Hop-Up Option) for 1:16 scale RC. Note that you will need a minimum of a 3-channel RC unit with receiver to use this option. A 4-channel or better is recommended.
