The M1A1 Abrams Battle Tank was welcomed greatly in the heat of Gulf War as it was far superior to the Iraqi tanks and capable of defeating any tank in the Iraqi inventory.

Should any other further conflicts occur in the Gulf, M1A1 Abrams Battle Tank, the "backbone of the armored forces of the United States military" will probably face conflict again.

This fully remote controlled M1A1 Abrams Battle Tank in HUGE 1:16 scale full-function radio control is available in two different frequencies and two colour scheme options, with electronic sound and lights.

The gun recoils, moves up and down. The machine gun sounds whilst turning. Turret turns to the left and right (but not 360 degrees). Forward reverse and pivot turns to left and right.

This M1A1 Abrams Battle Tank has a powerful motor with enough torque to cope with inclines of up to 35 degrees!

Choose from either "Down Dark Punisher", 27MHZ a desert camouflaged M1A1, or the "Bandit", which sports the latest three colour European camouflage colours on 40MHZ.

Operating your RC Tank:

• Do not run the remote control tank on the road or in a crowded place.

• Do not run the remote control tank through sand or water, grass or dusty areas, as this may cause failures.

• Only use a 7.2V power pack and charger as included in the set. Also be sure to connect the battery pack correctly.

• After running the tank, the 7.2v power pack can get hot. This is normal. Be surenot to handle the battery untill it cools down.

• When you are not using the tank be sure to switch it off and the transmitter and remove the batteries.

• Do not operate models on the same frequency. The interface can cause the tanks to go out of control and cause accidents.

• Keep the transmitter aerials and antenna well away from eyes. . Do not leave the r/c tank in a hot place or near a direct heat source.

• Do not dissasemble the tank or the transmitter. This will invalidate warranties!! . Turning the radio controlled tank on loose surfaces can cause excessive load on the motors. Do not operate on surfaces such as these.
