The M4 Sherman, officially Medium Tank, M4, was the most widely used medium tank by the United States and Western Allies in World War II. The M4 Sherman proved to be reliable, relatively cheap to produce, and available in great numbers. It was also the basis of several successful tank destroyers, such as the M10, 17pdr SP Achilles and M36. The official designation of this specific model type is "M4A3(76)W HVSS", but it is most often referred to as the M4A3E8 or "Easy Eight". This variant is visually distinguished by its 76mm M1A2 cannon and its "duckbill" track extensions. The Easy Eight served in WW2, the Korean War, and even into the early stages of the Vietnam War.
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 M4A3 Sherman 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.
