Night battles are on the cards with the Taigen German Panther Type G, a 5.68kg 1/16 scale RC Tank whose working LED lights keep it rolling well after sunset. It comes ready to run with a 2000mAh Li-ion battery, a USB charger, a 2.4GHz remote, a bottle of smoke fluid and an accessory pack, so the only wait is for the first charge. The new V3 multi-function control system runs the show, starting with a full working sound system that growls into life at start-up and rumbles along beneath every move. Fire the main cannon and the barrel recoils and flashes, smoke bursts from the muzzle and the whole tank rocks back on its tracks. A working smoke unit adds haze as you drive, the turret swings through a full 360 degrees, and the upgraded IR battle system lets you settle scores with any compatible IR tank.

All that weight works in the Panther's favour once the going gets rough. Heavy metal tracks bite into dirt, grass and gravel, while rubber track wheels hold onto those tracks for smoother, surer running. Underneath, a sturdy metal lower hull and a strong metal bash plate guard the undercarriage against rocks and kerbs. When it's time to swap the battery or check the internals, the easy opening design gets you inside in moments. Choice metal parts and sharp scale detail are finished in a professional grade airbrushed paint job with dirt flecks, giving this Panther the look of a tank fresh from the front line. Which corner of the yard will it take first?

Barrel Recoil and Flash with Smoke

Line up your target, pull the trigger and the barrel and hull rock back together as the shot goes off. An LED in the muzzle flashes and a small puff of smoke drifts from the end of the barrel, just like a full-size cannon firing. Every shot looks the part, No matter what you target.

Battle Your Mates with Infrared

Taigen Includes its infrared battle hop-up as standard, so you can take on your mates as soon as the tank is out of the box. Fire at another compatible tank, and your barrel kicks back with recoil. When enough shots land, the tank you hit reacts as if it's damaged and stops for a few seconds, so there's never any argument over who won. The 2.4GHz radio lets several tanks fight at once without interfering with each other, and your backyard becomes a full tank battle.

Full Combat Noise

Flick the Switch to Power on, and the built-in sound system rumbles into life with the growl of a working motor. The machine gun rattles and the main cannon booms on command, completing the scale look and sound of this historical replica. As it rolls into battle, your Taigen tank sounds every bit as powerful as it looks.

LED Lighting

The Taigen range of tanks come factory equipped with an assortment of front and rear LED lights. Additionally, each tank comes with an LED in the barrel that lights when you fire the main gun. The carefully selected lights add yet another layer to the already amazing scale detail.

Professional Spec Paint Job

The Taigen IS series of tanks come with professionally painted colouring that even experienced hobby painters would be impressed by. High-detail texturing and airbrushing techniques make this look as realistic as possible.

Ready to Run Package

Your armoured assault starts the moment the box is open. The factory has already assembled the tank, so charge the included 7.4V battery and get ready to roll. The tank and transmitter come in the box, and all you add is a few AA batteries for the remote. It's ideal for hobbyists and anyone who just wants to get driving straight away.

Unstoppable Performance

Metal tracks bite into dirt, gravel and grass, and the metal-geared gearbox keeps the torque coming. Individual torsion bar suspension holds each road wheel down, so the tracks stay flat to the ground for maximum grip. Logs, rocks and garden edging that stop smaller tanks barely slow the KV-2 down.

Working Smoke Exhausts

Pour in the included smoke oil, hit a button, and this tank belches thick exhaust smoke as the engine rumbles into life. The smoke rolls out behind the tracks as it advances, so every drive feels more and more real. Paired with the included sound unit, this tank is something nobody can ignore.
