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 professional plus version offers electroplated metal tracks, painted sprockets, and painted road wheels for supreme durability and impressive realism, while delivering an extensive feature list that includes a new camo paint scheme, LED lights, sound, IR battle system (compatible with other brands), complete ball bearings, and more. All of Motion RC’s Tongde 1/16 scale models utilize the latest Tongde 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.
