Henglong 1:16 ZTZ 99A MBT with Infrared Battle System (2.4GHz Shooter Smoke Sound Metal Gearbox)

1:16 Scale Chinese ZTZ-99 RC Tank

Take control of one of China's most formidable main battle tanks with the 1:16 scale ZTZ-99 RC tank. Engineered for realism and performance, this feature-rich model is driven by the latest generation TK7.0 multi-function control board (MFCB), providing full proportional control over acceleration, steering, turret traverse and cannon elevation or depression.

With programmable radio settings, drivers can adjust the recoil strength, turning sensitivity, acceleration feel and switch between high and low-speed modes for a fully customisable experience. Omnidirectional proportional control ensures smooth, accurate handling over various terrain types.

Durability and off-road capability are delivered through independently sprung road wheels and rugged tracks, which can be upgraded to metal for increased resilience. A steel-geared gearbox guarantees reliable power transfer even during demanding driving conditions.

Track recoil is programmable in three levels, simulating the jolt of cannon fire, while a working smoke system produces a realistic glycerin-based exhaust effect. The model features four distinctive sound sets, including engine start, idle, acceleration, turret rotation, elevation, machine gun fire, cannon blasts and shutdown. Volume is adjustable across five levels to suit your environment.

The ZTZ-99 includes both a 6mm plastic BB firing system (with a range of up to 10 metres) and infrared combat functionality. BB use should always be accompanied by appropriate eye protection. The tank is IR battle-ready, fully compatible with Heng Long's infrared battle system, allowing up to 20 tanks to battle simultaneously. Each hit is indicated with lights and sounds, and after five hits the tank shuts down briefly before restarting after ten seconds.

Other features include 320 degrees of turret rotation, 30 degrees of cannon elevation, LED headlights and brake lights, as well as flashing lights when the tank is hit during battle. The model arrives RTR (Ready to Run), factory painted and complete with scale accessories to enhance visual authenticity and realism.

This ZTZ-99 is the perfect blend of modern design, cutting-edge technology and battlefield capability—ideal for collectors and competitive RC drivers alike.

The ZTZ-99, also known as the Type 99, is China's premier third-generation main battle tank. Introduced in the early 2000s by NORINCO for the People's Liberation Army, it combines advanced fire control systems, modular composite armour and a powerful 125mm smoothbore gun. The tank features high mobility thanks to its 1,500 horsepower engine and hydropneumatic suspension system. Designed for rapid deployment and digital battlefield integration, the ZTZ-99 represents China's modernisation of its armoured forces. This RC model reflects the cutting-edge design and battlefield presence of one of the most advanced tanks in service today.
