The Supdex 1/16 Soviet T-72 Ready-to-Run RC Battle Tank is a detailed scale model featuring upgraded metal tracks, idler wheels, sprocket wheels, and steel gearbox. This RC battle tank includes smoke generator, realistic sound effects, LED lights, infrared combat system, and two batteries. The 2.4GHz transmitter supports multi-tank battles, making it a choice for hobbyists interested in remote control military tanks for simulation or collection.

Performance

The brushed motors provide speeds up to 5–6 mph on carpet, pavement, or light off-road surfaces. The upgraded metal tracks and steel gearbox offer improved traction and durability on dirt, sand, or grass. Turret rotation reaches 320 degrees with recoil simulation during firing. Smoke output and sound effects enhance realism, though continuous operation may warm the motors. Runtime averages 20–30 minutes per battery, with two included for extended sessions.

Build Quality

Upgraded with metal tracks, idler/sprocket wheels, and steel gearbox for enhanced wear resistance and power transfer. The plastic body and chassis maintain lightweight handling, while sealed bearings reduce friction. Electronics are splash-resistant. Users report good longevity with the metal upgrades, though plastic road wheels can wear on abrasive terrain (metal upgrades available).

Control

The 2.4GHz transmitter offers proportional forward/reverse, steering, turret rotation, and firing with ~50–80 m range. Multi-player IR battle supports up to 20 tanks without interference. Transmitter requires 6 AA batteries (not included). Response is smooth with adjustable volume for sounds.

Design and Features

Accurate Soviet T-72 detailing with pre-painted body, working LED lights, smoke generator (safe vapor), and multi-sound system (engine, gunfire, machine gun). Infrared battle with hit feedback (vibration/sound) and revival function. Includes BB pellets for optional airsoft firing (recoil effect).

Special Notes: This is a Ready-to-Run model, fully assembled with pre-painted body, two rechargeable batteries, USB charger, smoke oil, and accessories included.
