Which Jagdtiger RC Tank is Right for You?
At 72 tons, the Jagdtiger was the heaviest armored vehicle of World War II. Available at Torro as an RC tank in 1:16 scale with up to 90% metal content, sound, and smoke function. All models are Ready-to-Run — starting from €549.
Jagdtiger for Beginners
The unpainted variants (from €549) are ideal for modellers who want to paint their tank themselves. Choose between BB (airsoft — fires 6mm plastic pellets up to 25m) or IR (infrared — registers hits via light beam and simulates damage).
BB or IR — Which Combat System?
BB (Airsoft) fires real 6mm plastic pellets up to 25 metres. IR (Infrared) uses an invisible light beam with hit registration. Premium variants also offer BB with barrel recoil (RRZ) — the gun barrel recoils realistically on each shot — or cannon smoke function.
Jagdtiger Premium with Smoke & Barrel Recoil
Painted models (from €649) feature airbrush paintwork in four historical colours. Top variants (from €679) come with cannon smoke on firing or mechanical barrel recoil — for maximum realism.
