Heng Long 2.4G 1/16 Scale RC German Panther Type G
The Panzerkampfwagen V Ausführung G (Panther G) (Sd.Kfz. Index: Sd.Kfz. 171) is the third production variant of the iconic Panzerkampfwagen V Panther medium tank family. The letter G was used to signify that this batch of tanks had a new, modified chassis. The most visible difference between the Panther G and the Panther A was a small increase in the thickness of the hull side armour plate to counter infantry anti-tank weapons. However, this added weight to the Panther, which was already overweight, so the lower frontal armour plate and hull belly armour plate thickness were reduced to compensate. Many other small improvements were made, but the general goal of the design was to simplify the manufacturing process so that more tanks could be produced as quickly as possible. The ventilation systems for the transmission, brakes, engine, and exhaust were redesigned, and the two parallel vertical pipes that emerged from the exhaust cover at the back of the Panther A tank hull were no longer required. Sheet metal coverings were gradually introduced beginning in June 1944 as a temporary remedy to assist in decreasing the red glow given off by the exhaust pipes at night. These were subsequently replaced by purpose-built Flammenvernichter flame suppressor exhaust mufflers beginning in October 1944. On September 9, 1944, factories received orders to cease using Zimmerit due to evidence that it had caused tank fires and a lack of confirmation of magnetic mine use by the Soviets and the Allied infantry.
For many years, Heng Long has been at the forefront of manufacturing high-quality, highly reliable, and very scale-looking ready-to-run RC tanks with loads of amazing features. These include a 320° rotating turret, a 30° elevating gun barrel, independently controlled twin tank tracks, a true-to-life sound system, smoke, and LED lights.
The Heng Long 1/16th scale German Panzer (G Type) has all the above features plus many more. The other features are a 2.4GHz dedicated transmitter, LED lights, and a real firing airsoft gun with Hull Recoil effect that fires 6mm BB pellets. The true-to-life sound system offers sounds such as engine starting and running, turret rotating, and firing sounds. The realistic smoke system simulates the tank's engine exhaust system perfectly and even increases in density the faster the tank goes (please note: smoke oil is not included, this must be purchased separately).
These RC tanks can roar across all sorts of terrain at speeds of up to 15km/h+ with running times of around 30 minutes on one charge. Their scale detail is second to none, they are tough and will give many hours of trouble-free running. They are great fun to drive, look and sound very realistic, and if you team up with a load of friends who have one you can enact some brilliant and authentic battles as this one even has an infrared battle system.
