Tanks feature functional headlights, tail lamps, brake lights, black-out lights and on some models a rotating light. Both actions happen simultaneously to complete the overall firing effect. This action is also linked to the gearbox to accurately reproduce hull recoil movement.
To imitate the firing of the main gun a LED flashes in the muzzle while its own recoil motor retracts the barrel and then returns it to its resting position.

LED simulating the firing of the machine gun on the Russian Heavy Tank KV-1.Īs previously mentioned, Tamiya has been manufacturing the 1/16-scale tanks for many years including the ones that are the full option kits so there will be some slight variations from tank to tank including the size of the included motors, gearboxes as well as the sound systems. Furthermore, when the main gun fires or the machine gun, a LED flashes in the barrel to resemble a muzzle flash and it is linked to the appropriate firing sound for greater realism. Even going so far as to recording the metallic clanking of the tank tracks. Tamiya designers traveled to museums and other locations around the world to record the actual engines of the tanks so that the sound is 100-percent authentic in the RC version. A really cool thing is that Tamiya did not take the easy route and give all their tanks generic sounds, but rather the genuine sounds for each tank. For example, authentic engine sounds like engine start up, acceleration and idle, engine shut down, turret rotation sounds, gun sounds-main and machine gun fire sounds and track related sound effects. Included with each of the Full Option tanks is a DMD Control Unit and DMD Multi-Function Unit with speaker box that links the tank’s actions with realistic sounds. Here is what makes Tamiya’s Full Option tanks truly special. The main gun barrel is one of the parts on the body that is not made of ABS and is actually turned aluminum. With a close look you will find intricate details like panel lines in the armor, the Zimmerit armor coating found on some of the German tanks, latches, hinges, tow hooks along with ammo boxes, jerry cans, tool boxes, spare track, wheels and even tow cables. ABS plastic is used for the bodies of the tanks which is the perfect substance to achieve exacting detail. Since Tamiya is behind the creation of these tanks, you will find that each and every one is an accurate and faithful reproduction of the real thing-the scale realism is just outstanding. Tamiya offers many types and scales of RC tanks from 1/35 up to 1/16-scale and here we will focus on just the largest scale they offer…the incredible 1/16-scale Full Option RC tanks. The tanks have come a long way since then where today’s Tamiya tanks are available as Full Option kits meaning not only are they incredibly accurate in their scale detail, but also offer authentic sound and light systems that bring these RC vehicles to an entirely new level. Tamiya has a long history of making RC tanks with their first coming out in the mid 70’s, the M4 Sherman.
One company in particular that is arguably the best at creating ultra-realistic RC versions of these heavy metal machines is Tamiya. Now if you are a scale enthusiast and/or like having wicked cool RC vehicles, there is one such type that may not have come up on your radar and that is an RC tank. If you can think of a full-size vehicle, chances are there is an RC counterpart for it. Today we are lucky enough to have every type of RC vehicle available to us.
