Heng Long 1/16 Scale German Leopard 2A6 with Infrared Battle System RTR Tank Kit

Step into the world of modern armoured warfare with the 1:16 scale German Leopard 2A6 RC tank. Representing the pinnacle of 21st-century tank engineering, this high-performance model is powered by the latest TK7.0 multi-function control board (MFCB), offering proportional acceleration, steering, turret traverse and cannon elevation or depression for precision control on the battlefield.

Drivers can fine-tune performance via fully programmable settings for recoil strength, turning responsiveness, acceleration behaviour and selectable high or low-speed modes. The omnidirectional proportional control ensures smooth, responsive manoeuvring across all terrain types, allowing for both realistic operation and competitive gameplay.

Durability is at the forefront, with rugged tracks that are easily serviceable and upgradeable to metal for enhanced strength. The model also features independent suspension on all road wheels and a reliable heavy-duty gearbox to deliver powerful traction and off-road stability.

Battle realism is elevated with programmable track recoil in three levels, simulating the shock of main gun fire. The smoke system emits a convincing glycerin-based exhaust effect, while the four unique sound sets immerse you in realistic audio, including engine start, idle, acceleration, traverse, elevation, machine gun bursts, cannon firing and shutdown. Volume can be adjusted across five levels.

The Leopard 2A6 is both BB and IR battle-ready. Its 6mm plastic BB launcher has a range of up to 10 metres. While not designed for high-velocity firing, safety precautions including eye protection must always be followed. The model is fully compatible with Heng Long's infrared battle system, allowing up to 20 tanks to compete in simulated combat. Each hit is confirmed with sound and flashing LED indicators. After five hits, the tank is temporarily disabled and automatically reactivates after ten seconds.

Featuring 320 degrees of turret traverse, 30 degrees of cannon elevation, LED headlights and brake lights, and RTR (Ready to Run) convenience, the Leopard 2A6 arrives factory-painted and includes scale-accurate cosmetic accessories for added realism.

This model blends high-performance control, rugged construction and modern battlefield presence—ideal for enthusiasts who appreciate cutting-edge armoured power.
