Tamiya 23673 - 1/16 RC KV-1 is a practical choice for scale armour fans seeking a ready-to-run model with authentic looks and dependable mechanics.

After each session rinse off mud and debris, check track tension, and inspect drive gears for wear to keep performance consistent.
Spare components like road wheels, tracks and small fittings are commonly available from hobby suppliers, making repairs straightforward.
There is usually room to upgrade battery capacity, but verify compartment size and weight balance to avoid stressing the drivetrain.
Most RTR examples include essential electronics but confirm whether a transmitter and batteries are supplied or need to be purchased separately.
Basic modelling skills are enough for paint and weathering. More advanced upgrades like metal tracks or motor swaps are best attempted by experienced hobbyists.
