M551 Sheridan w/Option Kit 1/16 KIT

Product detailed description

Remote control tank model kit (RC model).

The M551 tank was designed as an amphibious armored vehicle with the ability to ford water streams.With an aluminum hull and rolled steel turret, it weighed just 15 tons, but had impressive firepower in the form of an M81 152mm gun that could fire standard ammunition and MGM-51 Shillelagh rockets. The M551 was in service from 1968 to 1996 and saw almost every jungle action in Vietnam.

The kit contains plastic and metal unassembled parts and pre-assembled mechanical parts (quality metal gearboxes with 380 motors, slide mechanism, barrel aiming mechanism, turret rotation mechanism). The entire lower part of the model is metal, including all the main undercarriage parts (undercarriage parts, suspension arms, drive and idler wheels, gun barrel, etc.).The kit includes a 4-channel multifunctional unit ensuring realistic movement, lighting and sound of the model.

The kit also includes complete electronics, including a DMD Control Unit (integrated two FET speed regulators), a multifunctional unit MF-06 (sound and function generator) and a high-quality speaker. Of course, there is a high-quality flash unit for the cannon and an LED for the machine gun. The lights on the model have realistic functions and can be controlled via a transmitter.
From our own experience, we can confirm the very realistic behavior of the model such as sounds, flashes, recoil simulation, driving characteristics. For example, engine sounds were recorded by the manufacturer at a real tank in high sound quality.

The Tamiya Battle System 300053447 (6453447) module can be purchased as a separate accessory, which can be used to simulate a battle with several models.
