The perfect present for the child in every man!

This is a 1/24 scale fully painted and assembled replica of the US M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank featuring radio-controlled of all movement including turret rotation and gun elevation. Its rubber belt-type tracks can climb a 35 degree slope with ease.


 This Tank Actually Shoots!


Don's forget to
buy some extra
BB pellets!
This tank actually shoots 6mm plastic BBs from a fully automatic firing system using self-generated compressed air. These can hit a target up to 25m with good accuracy. The tank can fire while on the move or stationary and can hold up to 40 BBs in the turret. A box of pellets is included.


Fully Functional  



Individual linked track is available as an option for extra mobility.

The turret is able to turn just short of a complete circle (320 degrees). The barrel has a 20 degree tilt up and down. Independent suspension and 3 speeds allow it to overcome most terrains and minor obstacles. Its rubber belt-type tracks can climb a 35 degree slope with ease.
Safety Features


Hidden switch under loader's hatch, second firing button under control unit, safety plug


For safety, two buttons need to be pressed together to shoot. A red warning light flashes when the tank is about to shoot. The firing mechanism can also be switch off by a separate switch hidden under the hatch. A red rubber plug is also supplied for the cannon when run in non-firing mode.

Precision Control Via Dedicated Unit



The model comes with a dedicated
pistol-grip style control unit with its
own on/off switch.
The two left buttons on top of each other rotates the turret left and right. There is a similar arrangement on the right, the bottom button lowers or raises the main cannon. (If this is kept pressed down, the cannon will continue to go up and down until it's released. If you release the button and press again, it will change the direction.) The top right button, painted red, is for firing the main cannon. This must be pressed together with another red button underneath the main panel to actually shoot pellets from the cannon. The safety switch on the tank itself under the loading hatch must also be switched on. See section on safety features.

Three Speed

The central cluster of buttons is for movements of the tank. In the centre column, it has three buttons marked 1,2 and 3 representing the three speeds going forward with one marked 'Back' for going backward which is the same speed as the fastest going forward. There are three button either side; two for forward turning slow and fast (L1, L2, R1 and R2) and one for fast backward turning (LB and RB). The left and right turns can be used together to effect pivot turn in place.

After a while, this arrangement becomes intuitive and good control can be maintained over the tank even in confined spaces.


Battle With Friends For Extra Fun!

 

Available in black/brown/dark yellow or Desert Storm camouflage colours, the M1A2 all operate on one of 6 channels in the 27MHz band. Up to six M1A2s can be run together at the same time. The crystal in the battery compartment can be unplugged and a new one put in.

Tokyo Marui also produces a model based on the Japan Self-Defense Force's Type 90 main
battle tank. Unfortunately, a M1A1 cannot be run together with a JSDF Type 90 also operating
in the 27MHz band. However, the 40MHz band version of the JSDF Type 90 is not affected
and will run quite happily with up to six M1A2s. If you wish to run a M1A2 alongside a Type 90,
ask for a 40MHz model.

This item requires:

  • 8 AA alkaline batteries for main tank
  • One 9V battery for transmitter
  • Batteries not included

Make An Excellent Display Model When Not Fighting!

Length: 410mm
Width: 150mm
Height: 125mm

 

Comes with painted commander figure and parts for super-detailing including the two turret-top
machine guns. This is an excellent model of the actual tank. Well-built and beautifully painted,
it looks good both on the move and on static display on a shelf or in a cabinet. It even has twin
metal clip-on/removable radio masts on the turret just like the real thing.

Go on, treat yourself. You know you want it!

Warning!
Because of the power of the BB gun, they can cause pain and bruising if exposed skin is struck at close range and severe eye injury if they strike someone in the eye. These items are therefore not recommended or children under 18 years of age without parental supervision. They are sold only to adults 18 years and over. Wearing of eye protection goggle is also highly recommended.
