The Tamiya rendition faithfully captures the truck's modern form with the use of ABS plastic body parts and a number of metal chassis components. One look at the detailed interior and auxiliary equipment, such as air tanks, will confirm that the body features replica-quality realism, which is further enhanced with metal transfers depicting emblems and numerous metal-plated parts.

Article number: 30006010 Product: 1/16 RC Panzer Tiger 1 Full Option Tamiya has put incredible power and versatility of the German Tiger I in your fingertips with this 1/16 scale, fully functional R/C tank. Just some of the many functions this tank is capable of have been recorded in the video clips below. First check out the firing of the main cannon, complete with true to life flash and cannon recoil. The shot is so powerful that it actually causes the tank itself to recoil, just like the full size Tiger I. Then, click on the next image to see the cannon rotate, tracking down the enemy and preparing to fire. Next is the firing of the authentically recreated 7.92mm MG34 machine gun! Finally, take a gander at how the Tiger I moves on its durable resin and metal tracks. *1/16 scale Radio Controlled Assembly Model Kit (overall length: 530mm, overall width: 232mm) *A four-channel RC unit is necessary to operate this kit. Two 7.2V Tamiya Racing Packs (or equivalent) and charger are also required. Powerful Engine Sound Just about every sound the real Tiger I made can be made on Tamiya's 1/16 scale Tiger I. When the tank is switched on, either a manual crank start sound, or an automatic engine start sound is heard. After your engine is turned over, its time to move the tank around. As you accelerate, the engine thundering increases just like the real Tiger I. Stop the tank, and the sound of authentic idling begins. Once you have located your target, rotate the massive turret and listen to the grinding of gears of the real German war machine. The more you control this R/C tank, the more you will feel like the commander of the full size Tiger I ! The front-mounted gearbox contains two Type 380 motors that can operate together or individually to produce forward/reverse running and pivot turning. Metal torsion bars and suspension arms combine with the wide tracks to smoothly absorb bumps and dips in the terrain and provide high maneuverability. In addition, realistic engine sounds accompany the tank as it starts up, drives, and stops to idle. Hull-mounted main gun can be elevated, depressed, and swung to the left and right.

RC models

Squealing tyres, sharp bends and impressive speeds – remote-controlled vehicles rank among the most popular of models. With everything from racing cars to off-road vehicles, vans and monster trucks, we offer an extensive selection of RC model vehicles for action-packed races and adventures.

RC model making – what are RC models?

RC models (remote-controlled models) are designed based on original vehicles and controlled by a remote control. They are typically available in scales ranging from 1:8 to 1:36, although a small number of models are significantly larger or smaller. Unlike preassembled vehicles, our models are shipped as kits with assembly instructions – perfect for model making enthusiasts!

RC kits – model making kits for DIY assembly

RC model kits are shipped as individual parts, which must be assembled by the user in accordance with the supplied instructions – a fun experience in itself. What’s more, building an RC vehicle is also a great way to learn about the various components, such as the principles behind a differential and all-wheel drive, or the difference between a suspension strut and an oil-pressure shock absorber.

How do RC models work?

In simple terms, RC models are controlled via a transmitter in the remote control and a built-in receiver in the model. On a technical level, this involves the following processes:

  1. The position of the control components on the remote control is converted into a PWM (pulse-width modulation) signal.
  2. This signal is transmitted to the built-in receiver in the vehicle over a high frequency (2.4 GHz).
  3. The receiver receives and filters the control signals.
  4. The control signals are sent to the speed controller and steering servo, where they are converted into mechanical movements.

The signals for the steering servo result in a steering movement, while the speed controller signals determine the direction and speed of the motor. For precise control, it’s best to choose a remote control with proportional steering.

What must I pay attention to when choosing an RC model?

There are two key factors to consider before purchasing an RC model kit:

Intended application

First of all, you should consider where you will use the remote-controlled vehicle. Different RC models are designed for different types of terrain – for example, classic racing vehicles are best used on level surfaces, whereas taller off-road vehicles with large tyres can also be used off-road.

Accessories and package contents

Before purchasing a remote-controlled vehicle, it’s always advisable to check the package contents so that you know what’s included and whether you need to purchase any additional accessories. For example, most TAMIYA RC models do not include batteries and are shipped without a receiver, servo and remote control. The CARSON shop contains everything that you need to get your TAMIYA RC model up and running.

By considering these two key aspects and taking the time to compare different RC models, you increase the chances of finding the right RC model vehicle kit for your needs.

What is an RTR model?

The abbreviation “RTR” (sometimes written as RtR”) refers to models that are “ready to run”, or ready to use out of the box. In other words, they don’t need to be assembled, and can be used immediately after inserting the batteries or charging the built-in battery. To find out more, visit the CARSON shop and browse our diverse range of RTR models.

Which types of RC models does TAMIYA offer?

Thanks to our impressive range of RC model making kits, even the most die-hard fans of remote-controlled vehicles are guaranteed to find something new. Our RC models are divided into the following categories:

RC cars

Our RC cars range has everything from feature-packed racing and touring cars to models specifically designed for off-road terrain. Our road vehicles – also known as on-road RC models – are designed for level terrain such as paved roads, while our RC off-road vehicles feature high-grip tyres and a large ground clearance for use on off-road terrain.
