Realistic Firing Action Main gun firing action is one of the most impressive features of this model. When firing, muzzle flashes, speaker roars and recoil gearbox retracts gun barrel, then slowly returns it to standard position. |
340 Degree Turret Rotation The turret can be rotated approximately 340 degrees. The gun barrel can be controlled within a 20 degree range. The moving speed can be controlled by transmitter stick. |
Independent Suspension Independent suspension is damped by torsion bar springs, just like the full size M26. Combined with pre-assembled track, they provide smooth, exciting and realistic maneuverability, even on rough terrain. |
Exceptional Realism The tank commander figure is recreated with realistic detail. This model also recreates distinctive features of the M26 such as cylindrical commander's cupola, smoke dischargers, turret w/pistol port, air cleaner, equipment and texture of armor plates. |
Easy Access Access to the control unit is simple and easy. |
High Torque System Equipped with a factory-assembled independent twin gearbox and powered by two RS-380 motors and has a 36.98:1 gear ratio. The high torque system enables the heavy 4,100g tank to maneuver superbly. |
