The M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank is the most advanced battle tank in the world. The firepower and mobility are unsurpassed. The Abrams is continuously updated with the latest communication gear, improved armament and better IFF recognition.
After the close of the Viet Nam War, the US Army turned its attention to the European Theater of Operations. The Warsaw Pact nations had, through the 1970’s, built a formidable armored strike force. It was apparent that the M-60 class tank was behind in the technology of the Soviet T-72 Main Battle Tank. The US began the task of designing and producing its 21st century tank. The tank that finally was produced in the early 1980’s was the Abrams M1. The M1A1’s record during Operation Desert Storm was nothing less than spectacular. It had a kill ratio of 9 to 1 and not one Abrams crew member was killed.
This highly detailed 1:24 scale radio controlled version of the U.S. M1A1 Abrams 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. M1A1 Abrams 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 16 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.
