Description
The Heng Long 1:16 U.S. M1A2 Abrams with Infrared Battle System, part number HLG3918-1UA, is a ready-to-run 1:16 scale radio-controlled tank with a 10-channel 2.4GHz transmitter, a BB-firing cannon and infrared combat. It uses a TK7.0 multi-function control board that gives proportional control of acceleration, steering, turret rotation and cannon elevation. The turret traverses up to 320 degrees and the cannon elevates up to 30 degrees.
Driving settings can be programmed, including recoil force, turn response and throttle sensitivity, with selectable high-speed and low-speed modes. The tank has independent suspension, grip-pattern tracks and a steel-geared gearbox, idler and drive wheel for rough ground. The tracks can be upgraded to metal.
Realism comes from four sound sets covering engine start-up, idle, turret movement, machine gun bursts, cannon fire and shutdown, with five volume levels. Programmable track recoil gives a rearward jolt at low, medium or high intensity. Switchable headlights and brake lights are fitted, and a smoke system produces exhaust using the supplied glycerin-based smoke oil.
For combat play, the cannon fires 6mm plastic BBs at close range. Using the Heng Long battle system, up to 20 tanks can take part in infrared skirmishes. LED indicators flash when a tank is hit. After five hits the tank is disabled, then reactivates 10 seconds later. Eye protection and safety precautions are strongly advised when using the BB function.
The model arrives factory painted in brown, with a commander figure and detail parts, and is rated for ages 14 and over. Six AA batteries are needed for the transmitter. The tank itself runs from the supplied 2S 7.4V 1800mAh Li-Ion pack.

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.
