The Tiger I, a German heavy tank of World War II, operated from 1942 in Africa and Europe, usually in independent heavy tank battalions. It was designated Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf H during development but was changed to Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf E during production. The Tiger I gave the German Army its first armoured fighting vehicle that mounted the 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun (derived from the 8.8 cm Flak 36). 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944.
Faithfully recreated in 1/16 scale, Torro continues to grow its reputation as a producer of high quality, high functioning RC tanks. This Pro Edition of the German Tiger I features more than 70% metal part construction, a 360 degree rotating turret, a realistic torsion bar suspension, and a barrel recoil and muzzle flash effect that fires in sync with the IR (infrared) battle system.
This version is delivered as RTR (Ready to Run), meaning it is fully functional out of the box, but it is UNPAINTED, giving modelers more freedom to detail, paint, and weather their model to their final preference. For the pre-painted version, visit here.

All Metal Track System All of Torro's "Pro-Edition" tanks feature full metal drive systems. Single track links are connected with steel pins, propelled by metal drive sprockets and riding over metal road wheels and idler. Confidently conquer terrain with these durable metal tracks! |
|
High Torque Motors Reliable metal geared gearboxes are driven by high torque motors. |
|
Heavy Metal Castings Hoist hooks, spare track links and even simulated "welds" are reproduced in cast metal! The iconic "Zimmerit" coating applied by tank crews to repel magnetic mines is also molded into the plastic upper hull for additional period accuracy. |
|
IR Battle Ready Engage in friendly infrared ("IR") combat with other tanks using Torro's proprietary IR Battle System, both inflicting hits upon and receiving hits from opponents! Sounds and action signal each hit, until the 5th hit disables the tank. After 10 seconds, the disabled tank restarts and can rejoin the fight! |
|
Superb Scale Fidelity Molded details, metal cast parts, brass photo-etched parts, and functional elements such as opening hatches all elevate this RC model to the next level, making it a perfect display piece when it's not powering through the battlefield outside. |
|
360 Degree Turret Fully rotate the metal turret 360 degrees, and move the all-metal barrel up and down to train on your target. Torro's integrated drive electronics gives you complete proportional control to translate your precise inputs to all axe of movement. Drive, turn, traverse, train, and fire! |
|
Barrel Recoil and Muzzle Flash Effect The Pro-Edition of Torro tanks are distinguished by their synchronized barrel recoil and muzzle flash effect. When firing the main cannon, the barrel recoils at the same time that an LED inside the barrel flashes and a firing sound plays through the tank's internal speaker. Normally a costly aftermarket feature, this entire system is pre-installed in this Torro Pro-Edition King Tiger. |
|
Exhaust Effect Glycerin-based "exhaust effect" simulates engine exhaust emanating from the two rear mounted chimneys. |
|
Torsion Bar Suspension Unlike simpler models with basic spring suspension arms, this Torro tank features a torsion bar suspension system that functions like the real tank! Torsion bars impart positive downforce on the tracks at all degrees of rotation, resulting in significantly improved traction over uneven terrain. |
|
Ready for Painting and Weathering Torro’s unpainted versions provide the ideal blank canvas to allow your scale painting and decorating skills to be displayed, resulting in a truly customized, one-of-a-kind model. |
