Description
Details
This is a new upgraded version of the full metal early version of German RC tank -Tiger I. The Taigen RC tanks are of the highest quality and are brand new to the market. What sets them apart from other tanks is the high level of detail and the strong metal components like gearbox, drive wheels, turret, barel and many more. The next great thing apart from its looks is the brand new radio equipment. This deadly machine comes with 2.4GHz transmitter receiver kit featuring many improvements compared to the old crystal based systems like extended range, no interference from fellow enthusiasts and precision steering. From now on you can have epic battles with as many radio controlled tanks as you wish.
The next very cool feature is the sound on this machine, the sound generator has 2 channels and can play 2 sounds simultaneously - in short you will hear the gun firing over the soundtrack of the engine adding to the authenticity of the model. Taigen tanks are available in different configurations but the ones we sell are the highest configuration with every possible option and upgrade included.
This beautifully made Tiger tank comes hand painted grey weathered finish and looks amazing. The attention to detail is stunning and not only is this a fully working model with sound effects, smoke and the ability to fire BBs, but it is sufficiently detailed to be used purely for display. Almost all of the components and features of this tank are made of metal, improving durability and realistic feel and appearance to your model. We think the pictures speak for themselves!
The pull ropes are made from real metal cable and have been carefully coloured to give a feel of authenticity. The caterpillar tracks are scaled down versions of what you would get on the real thing, fully metallic linkages that will form to the terrain and any obstacles in the tank's path. When you pick this tank up, everything about it says quality, for a start this is a faiirly hefty model, it feels robust, it feels right, you could say it's built like a tank!
So why not treat yourself to a piece of military history that's not only great to look at, but will give hours of fun as it growls and smokes its way around your garden or park, and where safe to do so can fire BBs at the target (included in the box) with a realistic recoiling action. RC tanks don't really come better than this!
The Tiger I comes complete with a hand-painted Grey Camo design and weathered finish. Below are some images showing the plastic and metal components of the tank before it is painted.

Question:

- Posted by on Tuesday, 6 November 2018Hello - thank you for your question. Yes we do stock this tank as a self build: https://www.nitrotek.co.uk/rc-tank/1-16-scale/tiger-1-rc-tank-kit-version.html
Question:
I'm considering the Taigen Tiger 1 early version with the full metal upgrade. I'm still a little confused as to what exactly is fitted with regards to the recoil mechanisms. Ive seen so many different versions on youtube. for example, where the entire tank body recoils, where the barrel of the gun and tank body recoil and ones where only the gun barrel recoils. I'm looking for the most realistic option preferably with the barrel and a small amount of chassis recoil. Which does this model have. Thanks in advance.

Hi, could you please tell me the range and speed of this tank , Thankyou. Regards. Mike
Answers:
- Posted by on Sunday, 17 January 2016
Hi, the range is around 25M. They are not fast as they are not built for speed. I don't have the exact figure but around 1-2 mph. Best thing would be to look on youtube for "taigen tank" and you will see some going.

thank you Nitrotek for your prompt service.Beautiful Tiger
By Pal November 11, 2017I knew that this tank would be expensive for me because I live in Norway.
Shipping and customs are expensive for Norwegians.
Selected Nitrotek since I have read that they have good customer service and that they sell the Tigen brand.
Out of photos it's not easy to judge how nice the tank is, so I hoped it was great especially considering the total price.
The tank is absolutely beautiful, heavy and feels like it's good quality to.
Nitrotek was shipping fast and it was a trouble free trade.
All I have to put my finger on is the front-mounted spare belt that is painted plastic
But spare metal belts are on the way
Think this will complete the tank
