Forces of Valor 1:24 Scale US M4A3 Sherman Tank

The sheer number of Sherman tanks in WWII gave the Allies a distinct advantage, but their quick response, manoeuvrability, reliability, and ease of maintenance proved the greatest assets.

This highly detailed 1:24 scale radio controlled version of the U.S. M4A3 Sherman tank is part of Forces of Valor's 1:24 scale Battle Beam series of radio controlled tanks. These tanks can 'fire' upon other tanks in the series via an infrared beam of light. The tanks feature realistic sounds and lights, and 'recoil' when they shoot, and tanks can take 'damage' and vibrate when hit by another tank, and can be 'stopped in their tracks' after enough hits are received. Each tank comes with a Battle Beam Target, which an be used to practice marksmanship (or as the target if you only have one tank).

This U.S. M4A3 Sherman tank features digital proportional speed and control, with independent tank track movement and rotating turret and elevating main gun. It also features realistic tracks and independent wheel suspension. The tank is approximately 10 inches long.

The controller requires a 9v battery, the tank requires 6 AA alkaline batteries, and the target uses 2 AAA batteries. Note that batteries are not included with the tank.
