         This is the 1/16th Scale Electric Powered, Radio Controlled,
                          Tamiya M4 Sherman Tank.
        This Howitzer equipped version was developed as a fire support
              vehicle that fired high explosion anti-tank shells
            and greatly contributed to the Allied victory in WWII.
  This kit reproduces the HVSS suspension equipped late production version.

FEATURES: Chassis: 1mm thick Duralumin (aluminum).
          Motors: Two 380 type with pre-installed connectors.
          Main Action: Forward, reverse, turning and pivoting can be controlled
            at every speed.  The engine sound is a digital recording of a real
            M4 Sherman engine that changes pitch with throttle changes.  Turret
            can be rotated 360° with realistic rotation sounds.
            When tank is stopped, turret rotation can be controlled by the
            transmitter stick.  Elevation, lowering and moving of the Howitzer
            cannon with accompanying sounds are also controllable by the
            transmitter.
          Sound and Visual Effects: The DMD Multi-Function Unit provides sound
            effects such as the Howitzer and machine gun fire, engine sounds
            and hull recoil action. Sound effects are faithfully reproduced by
            a large 2.5" (63mm) speaker.
          Gearbox: Open, preassembled with plastic and die-cast metal gears.
          Body: Plastic Olive Drab highly detailed with all fittings.  Jerry
            cans, ammunition boxes and K-ration cases are loaded on the rear as
            accessories.

            connect track links for added durability.

            turret rotation, Howitzer and machine gun firing and movement.
