The newly designed system for gun elevation and recoil effect features a servo for more realistic movements. In order to obtain smooth rotation, the turret ring has been equipped with 20 steel balls.

Suspension comes equipped with torsion bars that give this model high mobility. One motor controls forward/backward movement and the other motor allows the tank to turn and rotate. This system accurately imitates the transmission of the actual tank. A specially designed gearbox allows smooth power transmission at both low and high speeds. The R/C Leopard is powered by 2 high-torque Type 540 motors. Of course, these actions are coupled with sound effects which have been digitally recorded from the actual tank. When fired, main gun recoils and then goes back smoothly to its initial position thanks to a gearbox mounted in the turret. A xenon flash tube is used to make gun firing more convincing. The R/C Leopard 2 A6 is equipped with a sound speaker unit mounted at the center of the hull. The T-07 unit and 7.2V battery are mounted in the turret for easy and quick accessibility. Turret rotation, gun elevation and firing sounds also add to the realism of this model. The T-07 unit matches engine sound (which has been digitally recorded from a real MB873-Ka501 turbo-charged diesel engine) with tank movements, and controls various lightning combinations activated easily with transmitter. The T-07 DMD unit provides the 1/16 R/C Leopard 2 A6 with more features than any other Tamiya R/C tank. Tamiya’s biggest R/C tank ever, it’s just like driving the real thing! Widely recognized as the best modern day Main Battle Tank (MBT), Tamiya introduces the latest German Leopard 2 tank, the Leopard 2 A6, to the 1/16 scale R/C tank series.
