Detailed 1/35 M1A1 Abrams Kit

The Tamiya 48201 provides a faithful 1/35 scale representation of the U.S. M1A1 Abrams, built as a working RC tank. The kit focuses on accurate appearance combined with operational chassis movement and sound to bring the model to life.

Movement, Controls and Sound

This model uses a two-channel transmitter for forward, reverse and turning control while a compact speaker reproduces engine and firing sounds for added authenticity. Note that the turret and main gun are static; the emphasis is on realistic chassis behaviour and audio cues.

Assembly Hints and Power

Tamiya have pre-installed wiring for the digital controller and receiver to simplify the electronics build. Motors are included and the tank requires four AA batteries while the transmitter needs a single 9V battery to operate.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Control: Two-channel transmitter
  • Sound Effects: Engine and firing sounds via mini-speaker
  • Power Requirements: Four AA batteries for tank, one 9V battery for transmitter

The Tamiya 48201 RC M1A1 Abrams is a solid choice for scale enthusiasts who want a realistic, buildable runner with straightforward electronics and convincing sound effects.

Will the model handle outdoor tracks?

It will run on hard-packed trails and flat outdoor surfaces, but avoid deep gravel, thick mud and water to prevent damage to the motors and speaker.

What should I know about maintenance?

Regularly check for debris in the tracks and clean around the motor area. Replace batteries as needed and inspect wiring after hobby runs to maintain reliability.

Can I paint the hull after assembly?

Yes, you can paint and weather the model. Mask or protect electronic components and follow recommended modelling paint practices to avoid affecting wiring and speaker openings.

Are spare parts available for repairs?

Spare parts for common wear items like tracks and gears are typically available through hobby suppliers; check compatibility with the Tamiya 48201 parts list when ordering replacements.
