1/16 Scale German Sturmtiger Assault Gun from Torro - RTR - TOR1111700301

Sturmtiger (German: "Assault Tiger") was a World War II German assault gun built on the Tiger I chassis and armed with a 380mm rocket-propelled mortar. The official German designation was Sturmmörserwagen 606/4 mit 38 cm RW 61. Its primary task was to provide heavy fire support for infantry units fighting in urban areas. The few vehicles produced fought in the Warsaw Uprising, the Battle of the Bulge and the Battle of the Reichswald. The fighting vehicle is also known by various informal names, among which the Sturmtiger became the most popular.

Faithfully recreated in 1/16 scale, Torro continues to grow its reputation as a producer of high quality, high functioning RC tanks. This Pro Edition of the German Sturmtiger features more than 70% metal part construction, a 360 degree rotating turret, a realistic torsion bar suspension, and a barrel recoil and muzzle flash effect that fires in sync with the IR (infrared) battle system.

This version is delivered as RTR (Ready to Run), meaning it is fully functional out of the box.

All Metal Track System All of Torro's "Pro-Edition" tanks feature full metal drive systems. Single track links are connected with steel pins, propelled by metal drive sprockets and riding over metal road wheels and idler. Confidently conquer terrain with these durable metal tracks!

High Torque Motors Reliable metal geared gearboxes are driven by high torque motors.

Heavy Metal Castings Hoist hooks, spare track links and even simulated "welds" are reproduced in cast metal! The iconic "Zimmerit" coating applied by tank crews to repel magnetic mines is also molded into the plastic upper hull for additional period accuracy.

IR Battle Ready Engage in friendly infrared ("IR") combat with other tanks using Torro's proprietary IR Battle System, both inflicting hits upon and receiving hits from opponents! Sounds and action signal each hit, until the 5th hit disables the tank. After 10 seconds, the disabled tank restarts and can rejoin the fight!

Onboard Charging Torro's convenient onboard charging system eliminates the hassle of removing batteries after every driving session. Safely charge the onboard NiMH battery by plugging the included charger's plug into the tank's concealed charge port.

Superb Scale Fidelity Molded details, metal cast parts, brass photo-etched parts, and functional elements such as opening hatches all elevate this RC model to the next level, making it a perfect display piece when it's not powering through the battlefield outside.

Metal Lower Hull The lower hull is made of metal for strength and durability.

Exhaust Effect Glycerin-based "exhaust effect" simulates engine exhaust emanating from the two rear mounted chimneys.

Torsion Bar Suspension Unlike simpler models with basic spring suspension arms, this Torro tank features a torsion bar suspension system that functions like the real tank! Torsion bars impart positive downforce on the tracks at all degrees of rotation, resulting in significantly improved traction over uneven terrain.

Features:

• 70%+ metal parts including turret, main barrel, tracks and drive system
• Barrel Recoil with Muzzle Flash effect
• Realistic Torsion Bar suspension system
• Metal lower hull, drive wheels, idler wheels, and road wheels

Really "tough & rough" looking machine, one can imagine how impressive was the real one in action.

All the little holes in the end of the barrel are vents for the rocket gasses so that they didn't fill the interior of the tank and kill the crew while firing. It vents to the front and not the rear. Shows it firing the 380mm rocket mortar shell at about 1:22:

Wow impressive German engineering as in most cases.
I test drove Sturmtiger todays and it worked flawlessly, very fast, turns in a blink of and eye, in all is worth the money, other features to like are off/on switch very conveniently located, cannon flash is very bright and easiness tp remove top.
