Heng Long 1:16 British Challenger 2 RC Tank - PRO Version

Modern British Main Battle Tank - PRO Metal Specification

This 1:16 scale Challenger 2 from Heng Long represents the PRO metal-upgraded version of Britain's current main battle tank. Faithfully modelled on the real Challenger 2 in service with the UK Army, this large-scale RC tank combines imposing size, authentic detailing, and enhanced mechanical strength. Measuring an impressive 730mm in length, it dominates the terrain and offers a highly realistic presence both in operation and on display.

PRO Upgrade Package - Built for Strength and Realism

The PRO version is designed for enthusiasts who want maximum toughness and authenticity. Key upgrades include:

• Metal tank trucks, adding realistic weight, improved traction, and durability.
• Metal sprocket and idler wheels, strengthening the drivetrain.
• Heavy-duty steel gearbox, delivering smoother power transfer and long-term reliability.
• Special hand-painted finish, giving each model a unique, premium appearance.

These upgrades significantly improve performance during outdoor use while enhancing the "heavy armour" feel expected of a modern MBT.

BB Firing System with Recoil Action

The Challenger 2 is equipped with a 6mm airsoft BB firing system capable of holding approximately 100 BBs. From the transmitter, the turret can be rotated and the gun elevated or depressed before firing. Each shot is accompanied by recoil action, firing sound effects, and visual cues, delivering an engaging and realistic combat experience.

Smoke Generator and Sound Simulator

A built-in smoke generator produces visible exhaust smoke during operation, adding dramatic realism as the tank moves. The integrated sound simulator recreates:

• Engine start-up sounds.
• Continuous engine running sounds.
• Machine-gun firing sounds.
• Main gun firing sound.

Both sound and smoke functions are controlled directly from the transmitter.

Advanced 2.4 GHz Radio and Infrared Battle System

The latest 2.4 GHz digital radio system provides improved range, signal stability, and precise control. Multiple tanks can operate in the same area without frequency clashes. In addition, the tank features an infrared battle system, allowing IR combat with other compatible Heng Long tanks for organised battle scenarios.

Fully Proportional Drive and Independent Suspension

Each track is driven by its own powerful motor, allowing:

• Forward and reverse movement.
• Smooth turning.
• 360-degree pivot turns.

The independent suspension system and realistic chain tracks allow the Challenger 2 to traverse uneven ground and climb gradients of up to approximately 35 degrees, depending on surface conditions.

High-Capacity Power System

Power is supplied by a high-capacity 2000mAh Tamiya-type rechargeable battery, providing strong performance and extended run times suitable for a tank of this size and weight.
