Thanks!
I bought this tank with a project in mind... A RC Tank Monster Truck. But after getting it running, I changed my mind because it was so much fun to drive. Now that I have driven it, and the sound unit died, I think I'll go ahead and mod this toy!

the way you drive a tank is like what i think if michael schumacher was born during ww2 and was a tiger 1 driver.

The tread coming off is for added realism. It's not a bug, it's a feature.

I just picked one of these up . Good shape and all seems to work. Need to figure out how to add more smoke fluid though. Also picked up a m43a same time as this one. Starting to weather them and such. I'm a crawler guy so I like these slow things. Thanks for the video

I remember Motion RC talking about these current models being able to move at a slower speed setting no matter how much the stick is pushed, were you able to find or change those settings on your model?

@Triggered-RC Жыл бұрын

Yeah, there’s a speed setting. Can’t remember the button press combo at the moment though.

@thomasjewell6951 Жыл бұрын

@@Triggered-RC the speed is too fast, however if move the stick slowly you will achieve a more scale speed. after all they are proportional. u boat commander.

They are still pretty toyish. However, they do sell CNC’d aluminum chassis versions, but they are well over $1000 a piece. Kinda want one, but at that price, I think maybe a Tamiya would be more interesting.

My Heng Long Jagdpanther right track also keep on coming lose I check my rc tank the back Idler wheel has a track tensioner you can adjust after I tighten the track now its back in service have no issues. Your tiger 1 tank looks nice they are scarce by my country as well the Russian T-90 tank

@Triggered-RC 7 ай бұрын

I wonder if the cheaper plastic tracks and wheels stay together better? Thanks for the tip, will have a look for that tensioner.

For the BBs to shoot you need to reset the transmitter to the factory settings. Mine did not shoot either until the factory reset. It is on transmitter manual #28. Turn off the transmitter power first then Press and hold lock button, G Button and K button together and then turn on the transmitter. You will hear a beep if done correctly.

Funny how the tread came off! The tiger1 and the king tiger used tread designs with no return roller and were prone to throwing a tread if the tank made sudden turns in reverse!

Yeah, not the best design.

@soma_rc Жыл бұрын

If I remember correctly from other videos you have to press both the automatic gun and the main gun at the same time to shoot bibi's. And there's a way to turn off the bibi system as a whole using the controller functions. (Jack-o-trades channel)

@Triggered-RC Жыл бұрын

Yeah. I got that from the instructions, but it just made the sound and the tank reverses/rocks for a sec. The barrel doesn’t retract like it is supposed to either. I’m going to take it apart and see if I can figure out why the sound unit died and why it doesn’t fire.

I perched the Heng long T72 up grade edition and the Panzer 3 pro edition. Both have been a blast, and never had any mechanical issues. I even bash a bit outside. IAM very happy. Lots of fun with how scale they are

@user-st1ko5dc2h 5 ай бұрын

Probably the most inaccurate Tamiya copy to date also... Tamiya is a hell of a lot more accurate to detail. HL has a very bad habit of being inaccurate. They're way too light, run too fast and the suspensions suck. Not to mention lousy electronics and sound files. HL is a Walmart grade RC company. I only have one HL and it's a heavily customized Stug 3.

@Triggered-RC 5 ай бұрын

@@user-st1ko5dc2h True in a way, until you hit the ones around $1000 that have the cnc’d chassis etc. They are toy grade for the most part. They do make a Tiger tank completely out of steel however. I think it is about $3000 though.
