1\/16 Scale German King Tiger Heavy Tank from Torro - RTR - TOR1112200701
Tiger II, Konigstiger, King Tiger. By any name, this German heavy tank was the most fearsome tracked weapon during WW2!
Faithfully recreated in 1\/16 scale, Torro continues to grow its reputation as a producer of high quality, high functioning RC tanks. This Pro Edition of the King Tiger features more than 70% metal part construction, a 360 degree rotating turret, a realistic torsion bar suspension, and a barrel recoil and muzzle flash effect that fires in sync with the IR (infrared) battle system.
This version is delivered as RTR (Ready to Run), meaning it is fully functional out of the box.

\n360 Degree Turret

\nBarrel Recoil and Muzzle Flash Effect
The Pro-Edition of Torro tanks are distinguished by their synchronized barrel recoil and muzzle flash effect. When firing the main cannon, the barrel recoils at the same time that an LED inside the barrel flashes and a firing sound plays through the tank's internal speaker. Normally a costly aftermarket feature, this entire system is pre-installed in this Torro Pro-Edition King Tiger.

\nExhaust Effect
Glycerin-based "exhaust effect" simulates engine exhaust emanating from the two rear mounted chimneys.

\nTorsion Bar Suspension
Unlike simpler models with basic spring suspension arms, this Torro tank features a torsion bar suspension system that functions like the real tank! Torsion bars impart positive downforce on the tracks at all degrees of rotation, resulting in significantly improved traction over uneven terrain.
