Features proportional throttle and turret control, proportional smoke, 270° turret rotation with optional 360° upgrade, turret elevation, metal barrel, metal torsion bar suspension, realistic sound effects, and LED machine gun. Available in airsoft BB or infrared, ready to run out of the box. Plastic Edition - What This Means The Plastic Edition uses a plastic turret, hull, tracks, and wheels in place of the metal components found on the Full Metal Edition. The metal barrel, torsion bar suspension, and all V3 electronics remain the same. The ideal entry point into Taigen RC tanks - same experience, lower price. Proportional Smoke Metal Barrel Torsion Bar Suspension 270° Turret Rotation 360° Kit Available Turret Elevation LED Machine Gun Sound Effects V3 Electronics RTR - Ready to Run ⚙️ What You Get 💨 Proportional Smoke Smoke output scales with throttle input - a light wisp at idle, a heavy plume at full speed. Smoke fluid included in the accessory kit. 🔄 270° Turret + Elevation Proportional 270° turret rotation and barrel elevation control included. Upgrade to full 360° rotation anytime with the optional kit. 🎯 Airsoft or Infrared Airsoft fires 6mm .12–.20g BBs at 100–150fps for target practice. Infrared emits a beam detected by other Taigen IR-equipped tanks for safe combat play. 🔩 Metal Barrel & Suspension Metal barrel and metal torsion bar suspension - the key structural components match the Full Metal Edition for durability where it counts most. 🔊 Realistic Sound Effects V3 electronics with authentic Tiger engine, firing, and movement sounds plus an LED machine gun for full battlefield immersion. 📡 V3 Electronics Same advanced V3 board as the Metal Edition - compatible with most 6-channel hobby-grade transmitters and receivers. 🎖️ The Real Tank: WWII History The Tiger 1 was a game-changer from the moment it first appeared on the battlefield in 1942. Armed with the 8.8cm KwK 36 gun, it could destroy any Allied or Soviet tank at ranges where return fire was nearly impossible. Over 50 tons of armor and firepower, it was the tank every Allied commander feared most and every German crew wanted to command. At the Battle of Kursk in 1943 - the largest tank battle in history - small numbers of Tiger 1s held defensive positions against overwhelming Soviet forces, destroying dozens of enemy tanks while sustaining minimal losses. Stories from both sides describe the Tiger's psychological impact as much as its physical one. The mere report of Tigers in the area could halt an Allied advance. More than 1,300 Tiger 1s were produced between 1942 and 1944, and they claimed over 1,500 enemy tanks and vehicles before being succeeded by the King Tiger. Its advanced features - interleaved road wheels, the powerful Maybach engine, and the devastating 88mm gun - influenced tank design worldwide. The Tiger 1 remains the most recognized and studied tank of World War II. 📋 Technical Specifications Specification Details Scale 1/16 Approximate Size 16.1 × 7 × 6.7 in (41 × 18 × 17 cm) Approximate Weight 10.4 lbs (4.7 kg) Gearboxes Zinc (3:1, Mid/Low, 48mm) Firing Unit Airsoft BB or Infrared (choose variant) Airsoft Velocity 100–150fps with .12–.20g 6mm BBs Turret Plastic turret with metal barrel, 270° rotation (360° kit available) Turret Elevation Yes - proportional Upper Hull Plastic Lower Chassis Metal & plastic hybrid Suspension Metal torsion bar system Drive & Idler Wheels Plastic Road Wheels Plastic Tracks Plastic caterpillar tracks Battery 7.2V 2000mAh NiMH (included) Radio System 2.4GHz with V3 electronics Smoke Proportional (scales with throttle) Lighting Upper hull MG LED & LED headlight Want the Full Metal Experience?
