I didn't know the M1A2 made an appearance in WWII. When I read stuff like this, I have to question the credibility of the entire company. Who's doing their proof reading.

I saw that, too. I copied and pasted the first line:

"This is a 1/16th scale, radio-control model of the 2.4GHz American M1A2 Abrams RC tank that made its appearance during WWII."

It's also written so it sounds like the real tank is 2.4Ghz. It's a model of the 2.4GHz American M1A2.

I'm not sure it makes me doubt the credibility of the whole company, just the translator. I've had both good and bad experiences with Matomart, but they usually get the job done.

In a way they are correct in WWll. The tank is named after Creighton W Abrams, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creighton_Abrams a tank commander in WWll

At least it reads as a complete, understandable sentenace. I had some instructions recently that were probably chinese written. The english was nearly incoherent.

I thought this was a thread about the M1A2 Abrams RC tank from Matomart ?? What does this have to do with RC Tanks and the hobby ?

I would like to say thanks to Matomart for bringing another tank to the hobby market.
