The 105 mm artillery guns were equipped with a 5-stage forward and 1-stage backward transmission.
The latter type, which was improved from the VVSS (vertical spiral spring suspension) to the HVSS (horizontal spiral spring suspension), was capable of firing grenades, smoke bombs and incendiary bombs.
About 840 tanks were produced and deployed in a wide range of battlefields from Europe to the Pacific.
The general tanks during World War II were equipped with a "clutch-brake type" steering device that slowed down by braking the sprocket in the direction of turning, and turned by creating a rotational difference between the left and right crawler belts.
This device was equipped with a "clutch-brake type" steering device that An electric radio control tank assembly kit reproducing a 1/16 scale model of a Man 105 mm howitzers mounted type.

[RC M4 Sherman Steering Device]
The RC M4 Sherman is equipped with a steering device that operates by basically the same mechanism as the control differential steering device of an actual car.
The power of the 540 motor is transmitted to the left and right sprockets via the differential unit mounted on the front of the car.
The left and right crawler belts move straight by rotating at the same speed, making a rotation difference.
The rotation is done by the steering servo. One side of the brake disk on both sides of the differential unit is braked.
The left and right crawler belts move straight by rotating at the same speed.
In addition, a pair of planetary type gearbox built into the differential unit functions as a differential gear.
