Tamiya has put incredible power and versatility of the German
Tiger I in your fingertips with this 1/16 scale, fully functional
R/C tank. Just some of the many functions this tank is capable of
have been recorded in the video clips on the right. First check out
the firing of the main cannon, complete with true to life flash and
cannon recoil. The shot is so powerful that it actually causes the
tank itself to recoil, just like the full size Tiger I. Then, click
on the next image to see the cannon rotate, tracking down the enemy
and preparing to fire. Next is the firing of the authentically
recreated 7.92mm MG34 machine gun! Finally, take a gander at how the
Tiger I moves on its durable resin and metal tracks.
*A
four-channel RC unit is necessary to operate this kit. Two 7.2V
Tamiya Racing Packs (or equivalent) and charger are also
required.
Powerful
Engine Sound
Just about every sound the real Tiger I
made can be made on Tamiya's 1/16 scale Tiger I. When the tank is
switched on, either a manual crank start sound, or an automatic
engine start sound is heard. After your engine is turned over, its
time to move the tank around. As you accelerate, the engine
thundering increases just like the real Tiger I. Stop the tank, and
the sound of authentic idling begins. Once you have located your
target, rotate the massive turret and listen to the grinding of
gears of the real German war machine. The more you control this R/C
tank, the more you will feel like the commander of the full size
Tiger I !
The
Thundering of the Maybach Engine
The only working King
Tiger tank in the world is on display at the Saumur Tank Museum in
France. Since the Tiger I used basically the same type of Maybach
power plant, some Tamiya staff members made their way to France to
investigate. They recorded all the sounds of the real tank
including; battery start-up, crank start-up, fly-wheel sound, etc.
All the sounds of the enormous V-12 700hp engine have been clearly
recorded and are waiting for you in Tamiya's 1/16 R/C Tiger I
kit.

back-fires. |
