Heng Long 1:16 M26 Pershing Snow Leopard Firing RC Tank - PRO Version

Historic Heavy Tank - PRO Metal Edition

This impressive 1:16 scale M26 Pershing "Snow Leopard" from Heng Long represents the American heavy tank introduced during the final stages of World War II as the successor to the M4 Sherman. Designed to counter German Tiger and Panther tanks, the Pershing combined formidable firepower with strong mobility, and later proved its effectiveness again during the Korean War.

The Snow Leopard designation refers to the tank's large physical size, measuring almost two feet in length, making it one of the most commanding RC tanks in its class. This PRO version builds on the already feature-packed standard model by adding critical metal drivetrain components for enhanced realism and long-term reliability.

PRO Metal Upgrade Package

The PRO specification includes key metal components that significantly improve toughness and driving performance:

• Metal gearbox, providing smoother power transfer and improved longevity.
• Metal tracks, offering realistic weight, better grip, and authentic track movement.
• Metal drive wheels, enhancing drivetrain strength and durability.

These upgrades make the Snow Leopard ideal for frequent outdoor use and demanding terrain, while also increasing the authentic "heavy tank" feel.

High-Power BB Firing System with Recoil

At the heart of this model is an automatic electric airsoft cannon firing 6mm plastic BBs. The system features:

• Up to 40 BB capacity.
• Firing range of approximately 50 ft (with hop-up effect).
• Recoil action when firing.
• Red warning light next to the barrel that illuminates just before the shot.

This combination delivers exciting, realistic battle action and sets the Pershing apart from many standard RC tanks.

Smoke Generator and Full Sound Effects

Unlike older versions, this upgraded model features a true exhaust smoke generator, producing visible smoke as the tank operates. The integrated sound system recreates:

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

Together, these effects bring the Snow Leopard to life, whether cruising across terrain or engaging targets.

Advanced 2.4 GHz Radio Control System

The latest 2.4 GHz radio system provides enhanced control accuracy, improved range, and excellent resistance to interference. Multiple tanks can be operated in the same area without frequency clashes, making this model perfect for head-to-head RC tank battles.

Fully Proportional Drive and Realistic Suspension

Independent track drive enables multi-directional movement, including forward, reverse, smooth turns, pivot turning, and tight manoeuvres. The realistic suspension system, rubber-covered road wheels, and pre-assembled tracks allow the tank to traverse uneven ground with confidence while maintaining stability and traction.

Functional Turret and Gun Control

The turret rotates approximately 320 degrees, while the main gun elevates and depresses for accurate aiming. Combined with the tank's speed and size, this makes the Pershing Snow Leopard highly engaging to operate.
