Overview
UK Centurion Mk 5 Upgrade Edition 1/16 Scale Battle Tank - RTR from Tongde - TDE1003-001
Motion RC is pleased to offer Tongde RC tanks and IFV’s to global RC tankers! Offering unique subjects, these models are available in similar versions to other familiar manufacturers. When combined with Motion RC’s industry-leading selection, parts support, and customer service, Tongde RC models deliver an unbeatable value for RC armor enthusiasts.
The British Centurion series of main battle tanks were originally designed and produced at the end of WWII. Widely recognized as a supremely successful design thanks to its mobility, effective armor, and powerful weapons array, these tanks remained in production into the 1960s and saw combat until the 1980s. More than 4,400 units were produced and equipped armies throughout the world. The Mk 5 variant started production in 1955 and featured Browning machine guns, a revised turret roof, and extra storage capabilities.
This upgrade version offers nylon tracks and road wheels for light weight and budget friendliness, while delivering an extensive feature list that includes LED lights, sound, airsoft BB launch, IR battle system (compatible with other brands), and more. All of Motion RC’s Tongde 1/16 scale tanks utilize the latest TD 2.0 MFCB (Multi-Function Control Board) for outstanding control, performance, playability, and upgrade potential!
Note: This model does not provide hatch access to the battery pack. Charging is done through a small hatch in the forward hull that contains the on/off switch and battery pack balance plug. Replacement of the battery requires removal of four screws to remove the upper hull/turret assembly.
