Command one of the most technologically advanced armoured vehicles in modern history with the Heng Long 1/16 Scale IDF Merkava Mk.IV Main Battle Tank. Modeled after the legendary Israeli "Chariot," this RC replica captures the distinct profile and presence of the 65-ton original. This Australian-compliant version has been factory-modified to disable the projectile firing mechanism, focusing instead on a highly immersive Infrared Combat System. This allows you to battle other Heng Long tanks safely using IR beams, with the tank registering hits and simulating damage.

Heng Long has equipped this model with essential durability upgrades to ensure it runs as well as it looks. The drivetrain features a robust metal driving gearbox and metal suspension arms, providing the strength needed to traverse rough terrain. The realism is heightened by a functioning smoke generator that puffs exhaust, and a sound module that replicates the roar of the engine and the blast of the main gun. When you trigger the "fire" command, the tank simulates the shot with a realistic hull recoil and barrel retraction action.

The turret offers full rotation and barrel elevation, giving you precise control over your aim during IR skirmishes. The tank comes Ready-to-Run with a 2.4GHz radio system, a rechargeable 1800mAh battery, and a USB charger. With working LED lights and authentic detailing, the Merkava Mk.IV is a striking addition to any tank collection, offering a blend of history, performance, and safe multiplayer fun.
