Motion RC is pleased to offer Tongde RC tanks newest release, the Churchill MK VII. Offering unique subjects, Tongde models are available in similar versions to other familiar manufacturers. When combined with Motion RC’s industry-leading selection, parts support, and customer service, Tongde RC models deliver an unbeatable value for RC armor enthusiasts.
The UK Churchill Mk. VII tanks were originally designed and produced toward the end of WWII. Known as the “Heavy Churchill”, the MK VII used a 75mm gun and carried armor twice as thick as that used on a German Tiger I, allowing the Churchill to absorb massive amounts of punish while continuing to fight. The MK VII first saw service in the Battle of Normandy, along the Western Front in Europe, in Italy, and lastly in Korea.
Note: This model does not offer an airsoft BB launch function
This upgrade version offers nylon tracks and road wheels for light weight and budget friendliness, while delivering an extensive feature list that includes LED lights, sound, IR battle system (compatible with other brands), and more. All of Motion RC’s Tongde 1/16 scale tanks utilize the latest TD 2.0 MFCB (Multi-Function Control Board) for outstanding control, performance, playability, and upgrade potential!
