The 1:16th Scale M4 Sherman Tank: The First RC Model Vehicle by Tamiya

from The RC Deep Dive · host RC Deep Dive

Many people think that the 1976 Porsche 934 Turbo RSR was the first radio controlled model vehicle created by Tamiya. However that title actually belongs to the 1974 1/16th scale M4 Sherman Tank. We dig into the design and explain exactly what caused it to be such a mechanical marvel with clutch and brake steering and it's many more advanced rere (rerelease) models in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast.
