Taigen German Tiger I RC Tank Electric Tracked 1/24 Scale RTR - Late Version

Ramps, rugs and the odd door sill are no trouble for the Taigen German Tiger I Late Version, a 1/24 scale RC Tank that climbs slopes of up to 35 degrees. It arrives ready to run with a 7.4V 800mAh Li-ion battery and a charger in the box, so all you need are two AA batteries for the controller. At 352mm long and just 0.8kg, it's sized perfectly for the lounge room, and its rubber tracks roll smoothly across floorboards, tiles and carpet. A start-up sound greets you at switch-on, the engine note follows every move as you drive, and a stop sound signs off when you park.

Combat is where this little Tiger shines. The turret spins through 1080 degrees while the sturdy metal barrel lifts and lowers through 20 degrees, letting you track a rival around the coffee table and settle the sights right on it. Pull the trigger and an LED flashes at the muzzle with a booming gun sound as the hull kicks back, and a separate button adds bursts of machine gun fire. The built-in infrared combat system answers incoming hits too, with vibrations that shake the tank and a side-to-side sway whenever it's struck. A single front LED and twin red rear LEDs pick it out in a dim room, and the professionally painted airbrush finish gives the Late Version a look worth keeping on the shelf between skirmishes.
