1/16 R/C M4 Sherman- Upgrade to 4 Channels
1/16 R/C Tank Series No. 14 (ITEM 56014)

So you want to enjoy the same level of tank action available on the Tiger I with the M4 Sherman. Well here's the good news:

All the hard-core tank action on the popular 1/16 Scale R/C M4 Sherman can take place on 2 channels. Though this may be effecient, in order to initiate turret rotation, cannon elevation, cannon firing, front machine gun firing, and head-light engagement, the tank would have to be still. To overcome this limitation, Tamiya now shows how to upgrade the R/C M4 Sherman to 4 channels, letting you enjoy all the options while the tank is in motion. The DMD T-05 Control Unit and MF-02 Multi-function unit can be used with a 4-channel transmitter set. Using a 4-channel transmitter and receiver enables you to engage in the same type of simultaneous, on the run action previously available only with the Tiger I. Please note that the 1/16 Scale M4 Sherman kit does not include explanations concerning the 4-channel upgrade. Information on operation and wiring can be viewed below. *4-channel operation *Wiring of the 4-channel receiver
