German Panzer IV (F Type) Upgrade Edition 1/16 Scale Medium Tank RTR from Heng Long - HLG3858-001
The Panzer IV saw service in all German combat theatres and was the only German tank to remain in continuous production throughout WWII. Originally designed for infantry support, the “F”-version was the last of the “short” versions and 464 units were manufactured. The front bow plate appliqué was replaced by a full 50 mm (1.97 in) thick armored plate, while side armor and turret thickness were raised to 30 mm (1.18 in). Total weight rose to more than 22 tons, which triggered other modifications, like larger track links (from 380 to 400 mm) to reduce ground pressure, and both the idler wheel and front drive sprockets were modified.
This Upgrade version features steel gears and plastic tracks for an economical balance between durability and weight. Heng Long has produced RC tanks for over 20 years, and their products offer an ideal starting point for new customers wanting to explore the world of RC tanks. All of Motion RC’s Heng Long 1/16 scale tanks utilize the latest TK7.0 MFCB for outstanding control, performance, playability, and upgrade potential!
