1/16 M1A2 Abram remote CITV & Rangefinder add-on kit

The "OKMO 1/16 M1A2 Abrams Remote CITV & Rangefinder Add-on Kit" (Product Code: OK-M1CITV) is a premium upgrade accessory designed for enhancing 1/16 scale Heng Long M1A2 Abrams RC tank models. Offered by DKLMRC, a Hong Kong-based online RC hobby shop specializing in high-quality upgrades for military models, this kit is part of their OKMO brand and caters to enthusiasts looking to add realistic functionality and detail to their tanks.

Product Overview:

This add-on kit equips the Heng Long 1/16 M1A2 turret with a remote-operated Commander's Independent Thermal Viewer (CITV) and a working rangefinder hatch. Crafted using SLA (Stereolithography) 3D printing technology, the parts feature a smooth surface finish that minimizes the need for sanding or filling with putty—just a light priming with spray putty (1000 grit) is sufficient for painting. The kit is designed to integrate seamlessly with the tank’s turret, offering both aesthetic enhancement and functional upgrades.

Contents:

• CITV and Rangefinder Components: Includes all necessary parts for the remote CITV and rangefinder hatches, as shown in the product photos (primed in grey).
• Light Reflection Card: A small reflective piece included to enhance realism, likely for simulating optical effects.
• 3D-Printed Parts: Delivered in SLA white color, ready for assembly and customization.

Features:

• High-Quality Material: SLA printing ensures precise, detailed parts with smooth surfaces, reducing post-processing effort.
• Remote Functionality: The CITV and rangefinder hatches can be operated remotely, adding interactive realism (requires compatible electronics).
• Optional ESC (Electronic Speed Controller): Available for purchase separately (adds $15.00 to the base price of $28.00), the ESC plugs into an extra port on the receiver for operation. It’s noted that compatibility requires a Heng Long tank board version TK7.1 or an aftermarket board with a radio receiver.
• Customization Potential: The CITV can be modified to house a real FPV (First Person View) camera, offering a functional viewpoint for advanced hobbyists.

Additional Notes:

This kit is ideal for RC tank enthusiasts who want to upgrade their M1A2 Abrams with modern, functional turret features seen on real-world counterparts. Assembly and painting are required, allowing hobbyists to personalize the parts. For those interested in the ESC option, DKLMRC notes its plug-and-play compatibility with newer Heng Long systems, and a link is provided to the TK7.1 tank board for reference.
