The Torro M16 Half-track vehicle with quadruplet flak (4 x 12.7 mm) for anti-aircraft defense was built on the basis of the successful M3 half-track team transporter. Together with the M15 it formed the mobile anti-aircraft defense of the American armed forces in World War II and was a milestone for the American army. Due to the top speed of 70 km/h and the half-track drive, the M16 Half-track vehicles achieved a much better off-road capability than wheeled vehicles. The high firepower of the 4x12.7 mm machine guns was very effective and was therefore very feared by the flying units.
The M16 Half-track vehicle with a quadruplet flak (4 x 12.7 mm) for anti-aircraft defense served as a model for this very detailed 1/16 RC model. The vehicle frame and the drive are almost completely made of metal.
The quad flak gun is excellently constructed- including 360 degree swiveling action and realistic firing imitation (light and sound)! The wheel steering and the chain drive are servo-controlled and therefore very easy to operate.
The set already contains 2 detailed driver figures and the model is ready for use immediately after the batteries have been inserted.
8 AA Batteries required to operate vehicle, 4 AA required for transmitter (NOT Included)
