The CaDA C61001W – CaDA M1A2 Abrams Tank RC is a motorized building-brick model of the American M1A2 Abrams main battle tank at 1:20 scale. With 1,498 pieces, it forms a fully remote-controlled tank building-brick kit – buildable either as the M1A2 Abrams or as an infantry fighting vehicle (2-in-1 model).

The original – the M1 Abrams main battle tank

The M1 Abrams is the main battle tank of the US armed forces and has been produced since 1979 – named after General Creighton Abrams. Originally developed by Chrysler, production was later taken over by General Dynamics Land Systems; in total, over 10,000 units have been built. Its main armament is a 120 mm smoothbore cannon. The drive system consists of a gas turbine with up to 1,500 hp, giving the tank high speed and agility despite its weight. The armor is made of composite materials and partly depleted uranium. The M1 Abrams has been deployed in numerous conflicts – from the Gulf War to the Iraq War.

The model – CaDA C61001W

The CaDA C61001W M1A2 Tank building-block model recreates the Abrams in building bricks, with a rotating turret, a movable cannon and a detailed track drive. Five L motors and three 2.4 GHz receivers control the drive, steering, turret rotation, cannon elevation and a missile-launch simulation – all via a four-channel RC remote control. As a CaDA battle tank model, it is fully motorized with RC. The 2-in-1 set alternatively allows you to build an infantry fighting vehicle.
