- This is a 1/16 scale R/C model assembly kit
- Just like the actual tank, the model uses a controlled differential steering system
- Metal components are used for drive sprockets, suspension arms and idler wheelbases
- The horizontal vertical suspension spring (HVSS) uses metal coil springs
- Pre-assembled plastic tracks use metal pins and connectors
This kit requires a 2-channel radio, steering servo, 7.2volt battery & battery charger, and model paints to complete.
The Sherman tank was a staple of the Allied effort in WWII, with a total of about 50,000 vehicles produced, among which were a host of different variants such as the M4 Sherman 105mm Howitzer, a variant used in fire support. The M4 hull featured rolled steel plates, and it employed a 9-cylinder air-cooled radial engine in the rear which powered the front sprockets via a 5-speed transmission with reverse; the 105mm gun fired howitzer rounds, smoke rounds and incendiary ammunition. The late production vehicle had horizontal vertical spring suspension (HVSS) of which 840 units were produced. It was used for infantry support as well as taking part in assaults on enemy strongpoints from Europe to the Pacific Theater.
