Unveiling the Tamiya 23671 Russian KV-2 Gigant: A Masterpiece in RC Tanks
The Tamiya 23671 Russian KV-2 Gigant is more than just an RC model; it's a tribute to one of the most formidable tanks of World War II. Known for its massive turret and powerful artillery, the KV-2 played a significant role on the Eastern Front. This ready-to-run (RTR) version by Tamiya offers a perfect blend of historical accuracy and modern RC technology, making it an ideal choice for hobbyists who appreciate both detail and performance.
Why the KV-2 Still Commands Respect
The KV-2 was designed to counter heavily fortified positions, and its real-world counterpart was feared for its massive firepower and thick armor. Tamiya has faithfully recreated these aspects in this 1/16 scale model, ensuring that every detail, from the turret rotation to the gun elevation, mirrors the original tank's capabilities. The inclusion of a precision-made turned aluminum barrel further enhances its authenticity, replicating the iconic muzzle step of the 152mm gun.
Advanced Features for Realistic Action
This model comes equipped with Tamiya's DMD Control Unit (T-08) and DMD Multi-Function Unit (MF-06), enabling realistic turret and gun movements, as well as immersive sound and light effects. Whether you're maneuvering through a mock battlefield or engaging in team battles using Tamiya's Battle System, this tank delivers an unparalleled RC experience.
Durability Meets Performance
Constructed with metal parts such as the lower hull and suspension arms, the KV-2 Gigant is built to withstand the rigors of intense RC battles. Its rear-mounted gearbox, powered by two type 380 motors, ensures that this tank not only looks the part but also performs with impressive power and reliability. The included 4-channel transmitter with a self-neutral function adds to the ease of control, making it suitable for both seasoned RC enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
