    The Panzerkampfwagen III, commonly known as the Panzer III, was a medium tank developed in the 1930s by Germany, and was used extensively in World War II. It was intended to fight other armored fighting vehicles and serve alongside and support the similar Panzer IV, which was originally designed for infantry support.

    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 Panzer III 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, but it is UNPAINTED, giving modelers more freedom to detail, paint, and weather their model to their final preference. For the pre-painted version, visit here.

    360 Degree Turret

    The turret rotates in full 360 degrees.
    Barrel Recoil

    The barrel has fully functioning recoil to further the scale realism and appeal.
    Exhaust Effect

      One caveat: A metal turret on a small chassis can be top heavy. I had a Mato P-III that literally flipped backwards while climbing a steep grade. Bent the barrel. Shouldn't be a problem on relatively level surfaces, though.
      Twenty six tanks, and not done yet!
