Merkava Mk IV Remote Control Tank from Heng Long supplied by Motion RC

The Merkava (Hebrew: מרכבה, [mɛʁkaˈva] ⓘ, "chariot") is a series of main battle tanks used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the backbone of the IDF's Armored Corps. Current iterations of this tank are considered broadly equivalent to the capabilities of the M1 Abrams, Leopard 2 and the Challenger 2.

This beautifully detailed Heng Long RTR RC model replicates the Mark IV version, the first contemporary tank without a loader's hatch in the turret roof, as any opening in the turret roof increases risk of penetration by anti-tank guided missiles. A special drive system is especially designed to reduce track-shedding under the harsh basalt rock conditions of Lebanon and the Golan Heights. More than six hundred of the MK IV variants have been delivered to the IDF.

The Professional version of this model features metal tracks for unsurpassed performance, durability, and realism along with metal drive, road, and idler wheels. A complete set of ball bearings reduce friction and wear, while the edition-exclusive cannon recoil system adds that final touch of “wow” to your model.

Heng Long has produced RC tanks since 1986, and their models offer the ideal starting point for new customers wanting to explore the exciting universe of RC tanks. All of Motion RC’s Heng Long 1/16 scale tanks utilize the latest TK 7.0 MFCB (Multi-Function Control Board) for outstanding control, performance, playability, and upgrade potential!

This is my own edit of the footage shot by Motion RC. I've slowed it down, increased the frame rate, added lighting effects, a vignette and more, just for fun and because I just ordered this awesome RC tank.
