The early production Tiger I rolls into your backyard as a solid 6.79kg 1/16 scale RC Tank from Taigen, ready to run out of the box. In the box you get a 2000mAh Li-ion battery with an XT60 connector, a charger, a 2.4GHz remote, a bottle of smoke fluid and a set of accessory parts. Flick it on and the Taigen V3 control board starts the engine with a deep start-up sound that settles into a steady idle. Then exhaust smoke curls from the rear deck as the tracks begin to turn. When a target appears, the metal barrel recoils, an LED flashes inside it and smoke rolls from the muzzle, with machine gun and cannon sounds to match. The IR battle system keeps score, so a friend with a compatible IR tank can try to land the first hit.
Twin 380 sized brushed motors sit on a strong metal chassis base and metal base plate, pulling the long hull along with ease. Rubber track wheels on metal tracks hold firm on grass and packed dirt. The independent torsion bars let each road wheel move on its own, so dips and bumps barely unsettle the turret. Front LED lights help you keep it in view as evening sets in. The plastic upper hull carries a professionally airbrushed paint job that looks just as good parked in the cabinet as it does on the move. Top up the smoke fluid, charge the battery and roll the Tiger out.
