Bring authentic WWII armour to your RC collection with the Heng Long JP Henglong 1:16 PZKPFW.IV AUSF F2 (HLG3859-1U). This RTR model combines historical detail with modern control, featuring the TK7.0 multi-function control board for proportional drive, steering, turret traverse and gun elevation, plus realistic smoke and sound.

Fine-tune performance using programmable settings for recoil intensity, turning sensitivity, acceleration feel and high/low speed modes. Independent suspension and robust tracks handle mixed terrain confidently, while the durable steel-geared gearbox delivers consistent power.

Battle-ready systems include programmable track recoil, a 6mm BB shooter (approx. 10m range) and an infrared battle system with suggested compatibility for multiplayer skirmishes using other Heng Long IR-equipped models. LED indicators show hits, standby and status; five hits disable the tank with automatic reactivation after around ten seconds. Always use appropriate eye protection when using the BB function.

With up to 320° turret rotation and around 30° of cannon elevation, plus factory-applied paint, scale accessories and LED lighting, the Panzer IV F2 delivers an immersive RC experience.
