Hi, Yes, this tank can fire while moving. This is the best 1/16 RC Tank in the market , something almost everyone covets , so go for it. However, if this is your 1st Tamiya project, start with less complex tanks like the Pershing, Sherman, Jagdpanther,etc. The 2A6 requires prior study and patience particularly when working on the fiber-optic lighting cables. Once built , getting under the hull for maintenace will be an ordeal so get it right and reliable the first time.
