Precision Scale Craft and Drive

The Tamiya 56031 - 1/16 M51 Super Sherman Full Option RC Kit blends faithful exterior detail with robust drive components for a satisfying build and reliable running. The kit is aimed at builders who enjoy realistic operation alongside scale appearance.

Origins and Upgrades of the M51

The M51 was a Sherman upgrade with improved armament and protection introduced after World War II. Tamiya recreates the essential silhouette and newer fittings so the model reflects the later period enhancements.

Features That Replicate Tank Behaviour

Turret rotation, barrel elevation and sound-friendly mounting points are modelled to give authentic movement, while the supplied ESC and motor deliver predictable throttle response. Metal tracks increase durability when used on hard-packed terrain and club fields.

Tips for a Smooth Assembly

Plan each stage before applying glue, keep instructions handy and sort hardware by step. Community build logs and video walk-throughs are useful resources, and hobbyists often fine tune steering throws and gear lubrication for optimal performance.

The Tamiya 56031 - 1/16 M51 Super Sherman Full Option RC Kit is well suited to modellers who value faithful detail and operational capability, making it a strong choice for both display setups and active running.

Basic modelling tools like side cutters, hobby knife, files and small screwdrivers are essential; a pin vice and fine brushes will help with detailing and minor mods.
The kit ships with a pre-installed ESC, a motor and metal tracks, plus the mechanical parts needed for turret rotation and barrel elevation. Radio gear and power sources are not included.
Reasonably firm and even surfaces are fine, but avoid very uneven or wet paddocks to prevent damage to running gear and to keep electronics safe.
Popular first upgrades include better servos for turret control, metal upgrade parts where available, and improved radio gear for more precise handling.
