Henglong 1:16 U.S. M1A2 Abrams with Infrared Battle System

1:16 Scale U.S. M1A2 Abrams RC Tank

Command the battlefield with the 1:16 scale U.S. M1A2 Abrams RC tank, a powerhouse of modern design blended with exceptional functionality. Outfitted with the latest generation TK7.0 multi-function control board (MFCB), this model delivers precision performance through proportional acceleration, steering, turret rotation and cannon elevation or depression.

Programmable settings allow you to fine-tune driving dynamics, recoil force, turn responsiveness and throttle sensitivity. With selectable high-speed and low-speed driving modes, as well as omnidirectional proportional control, this model offers smooth, personalisable handling. Durable tracks, paired with independent suspension and a steel-geared gearbox, idler and drive wheel provide confident traction and performance over rough terrain. For added resilience, the tracks can be upgraded to metal.

Sound and visual realism is brought to life with four distinct sound sets, each featuring engine start-up, idle, acceleration, turret traverse, elevation, machine gun bursts, cannon fire and shutdown effects. Volume is adjustable across five levels, and the programmable track recoil simulates cannon fire with a realistic rearward jolt at low, medium or high intensity.

Operational features include switchable headlights and brake lights, LED indicators that flash when the tank is hit in IR battle mode, and a smoke system that emits glycerin-based exhaust for added realism. The turret rotates up to 320 degrees, and the cannon elevates up to 30 degrees, allowing for full battlefield engagement.

Combat-ready out of the box, this model fires 6mm plastic BBs at close range and is also equipped for infrared combat. Using Heng Long's battle system, up to 20 tanks can engage in friendly IR skirmishes, with sound and movement effects marking each hit. After five hits, the tank is temporarily disabled before reactivating 10 seconds later to rejoin the fight. Safety precautions and eye protection are strongly advised when using the BB firing function.

Finished in factory paint with detailed cosmetic parts included, this RTR (Ready to Run) Abrams tank strikes the perfect balance between display-worthy realism and thrilling RC combat performance.

The M1A2 Abrams is a third-generation American main battle tank, developed as an advanced evolution of the original M1 Abrams introduced in the 1980s. Incorporating upgraded armour, fire control systems and battlefield communications, the M1A2 is designed for survivability and lethality in modern combat. It has seen extensive service in conflicts such as Iraq and Afghanistan, where it demonstrated dominance through its powerful gas turbine engine, advanced targeting systems and robust armour. As the pride of the U.S. armoured forces, the Abrams continues to set the benchmark for contemporary tank warfare. This RC replica brings the cutting-edge legacy of the M1A2 to enthusiasts and collectors with authentic detail and impressive performance.
