IDF M60 ERA Professional Edition 1/16 Scale Battle Tank - RTR from Tongde - TDE1002-002
Motion RC is pleased to offer Tongde RC tanks and IFV’s to global RC tankers! Offering unique subjects, these models are available in similar versions to other familiar manufacturers. When combined with Motion RC’s industry-leading selection, parts support, and customer service, Tongde RC models deliver an unbeatable value for RC armor enthusiasts.
Originally designed as a replacement for the M48 Patton, the M60 series became a primary MBT during the Cold War, with more than 15,000 units manufactured. The M60A3 was a significant improvement over the A1 variant, featuring updated turret configuration, crew comfort and safety enhancements, improved propulsion systems, and more powerful and accurate weapon systems. Israeli Defense Forces upgraded their M60A3 models with a low profile cupola and Blazer explosive reactive armor in addition to increasing horsepower with an AVCR-1790-5A engine, new weapons systems, and Merkava-style tracks.
This professional version offers metal tracks, sprockets, and road wheels for supreme durability, while delivering an extensive feature list that includes LED lights, sound, airsoft BB launch, IR battle system (compatible with other brands), complete ball bearings, and more. All of Motion RC’s Tongde 1/16 scale tanks utilize the latest Tongde (Multi-Function Control Board) for outstanding control, performance, playability, and upgrade potential!

Unboxing is fragile. Motion rc was helpful until the other day. The hand controllers that come with the tank work about 50%. Don't buy this brand. I'm mixing and matching parts to get 2 of 4 tanks to work

There's two holes at that location that the ERA should attach into. The part is not on any of the sprues and the assembly instructions don't mention that part. The headlights don't work unless the left side headlight gets pushed forward a bit. Gotta be a bad connection. Operation of the tank it good. I like that the transmitter only uses four AA batteries. I don't like that the on board battery is not easily accessible and requires disassembly of the body of the tank to get to it. A battery hatch would have been much better.
