Two fish in a tank, one turns to the other and says “how do you drive this thing?” I’ll get me coat…

That pointy thing you refer to a a mine plough is a hedge row cutter, Cullin's or Rhino tanks, it's a field engineered gizmo during the Normandy landings in the Bocage.

That price is nuts for the features. My grandpa would have been in heaven, he collected tanks and one RC version that just wasn't great for the hundreds he spent. This would have made him smile..

The tank would definitely have the word Naughty on it, as that would've been it's name. Tank crews have named their tanks for decades. It's just like pilots and bomber crews naming their planes. The movie 'Fury' has some great tank names, Fury being one of them. Some others are Murder Inc, Lucy Sue and Old Phyllis.

I bought a tank a while back and the smoke didnt work ether, only when i took the tank apart and the water container too.. i noticed that it wasnt primed... its full of air that has no where to go so the water doesnt get in there, cotton clothe stays dry and it never reached the diode (the thing that produces vapor). i added the water into the open container and turned it on.. worked wonderful.

The M5A1 Stuart was considered a light tank and was quite fast and nimble compared to other tanks from the era. Tank crew would have added some customization to their vehicle, so them putting "Naughty" on the side would be completely plausible. The fork on the front is not for mine clearing it is for pushing through light obstacles like light bushes or barbed wire.

That handset Tx is very cool. The spikes at the front were to help the tank throught the French (Normandy) bocage. Often they were fabricated by crews themselves. They could then plough through banks/hedges without exposing their vulnerable undersides or gettuing so easily stuck. Seems quite good value too - tempting 🤔🤔

nice but the thing on the front is not for clearing mines,its for clearing hedgrowes😊❤

"Stuart seems a weird name for a tank" the maus:

Having messed with a few Heng Long 1/16 tanks, Ive found that the smoke units can be a bit fiddly. You have to make sure the cotton swab inside is in contact with the heating element but does not block the holes where air is pushed in and flows out. Otherwise it won’t do anything. Hopefully you can get the one in yours working, its a pretty cool feature to have!

That is totally wicked We just come back from Normandy beaches for 80th anniversary and saw a couple of these full size tanks driving around with soldiers all dressed up looking the part. Great looking model

Stg curtis grubb cullen III invented the cullen hedge row cutter(spikey thing) to clear the bocage hedgrows on the fight inland after DDay .They where made from removed hedgehog beach obsticals from the invasion beachs . Great video phil as per usual ,yes please more tanks would be great to see on the channel 👍

It absolutely would've said "naughty" on the side of the tank. Many tank crews would often name their tanks and paint it on the side, especially American tank crews.

£92 quid seems reasonable. Not my type of thing but I'm sure it will make plenty reach for the debit card.

I think that wire that you didn't know what it was for is so you can connect the batteries to a balance charger. I have lots of batteries with that connector. I could really use a cable like that to keep them healthy. That's a cool little tank.

The guard on the front was used to clear brush and hedges and other obstacles if i remember correctly.

I had an RC tank in the 90s. It had a wired controller but it was still a fun machine for little me. Thank you for keep this channel about fun RC not just big $$ machine's

I’m not into military stuff he says with a $6000 military rig behind him 😂😂

really like it,tracks look bit narrow, but still a pretty cool tank 😀👍👍also baby oil should work,worked with my tank,maybe different smoke machines work differently 👍👍

really like it, had some tanks but the most fun and the best tank to drive offroad i have is 2 cheap ir tanks. dont use the infared battle thing to much, but they are really fun just to drive outside

When you suddenly realise you need a tank in your life. Great review as usual, just ordered one 👍

Nice, the second startup you hear at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="236">3:56</a> is the second Cadillac V8 engine coming to life.

Love the Hawaiian style ukulele music during the attaching of the accessories. And cool tank. Aloha from Maui 😎🤙🏽

i had a heng long tiger tank which was fun and cheap enough . thry have smoke and fire bb pellets and can use that battle system . worth a look mate

“It’s not the size what counts, it’s what you do with it” 😅

Two fish in a tank, one says "you drive , I'll fire the gun "😊

I love some variety in this hobby. Thanks for sharing. Looks like a bit of fun!

Checked the banggood link you provided and saw Churchill Mk IV and M2 Bradley...tempting!

Cool tank. If we are ever able to go to U.K my kid really wants to go to the big Tank museum. Do t recall the name right now.

The British service name "Stuart" came from the American Civil War Confederate general J. E. B. Stuart. IIRC all US tanks are named after famous generals.

It kills me how many people have reviewed this thing and act like it's so amazing. Heng Long has been pumping these things out since 2005

M3 Stuart light tank used by US and British forces, produced 1941-44. Armament: main gun is 39mm cannon, carrying 147 rds secondary: 7.62 Browning machine gun with a loadout of 6,750 rds

Beast little tank , those tracks stay on well apparently. Looked really lose but awesome & simple slack adjustment

That is a cool little tank. I thought it performed very well with some good speed and the tracks stayed on. I am sure the scale builders would age it for realism. It probably told on the box that the tank was named after an American Civil War general on the Confederate side, Jeb Stuart. He was a cavalry officer. As someone mentioned, I think the front forks are replicas of the forks the allies put on their tanks to get through the hedge rows when they landed in France.I enjoy the military models for a change.

I have a 1/16th scale RC Panther from Henglong, it does perform similar to the M5A1 you got there.

The M5A1 Stuart light tank is one of my favorites although it was clearly obsolescent by 1943. Yet so many thousands were manufactured that the U.S. Army kept the M5 in operation till war's end. The more advanced M24 Chaffee light tank with its superior, lightweight 75mm cannon did not replace the M5 Stuart as intended but served alongside to the end of the war. U.S. tank crews were decidedly mixed on the opinions of their M5 and M5A1 Stuarts. The crews appreciated the simplicity and reliability of the Stuart. It was dependable mechanically and was not maintenance intensive. The downside was its thin, 1.5" frontal glacis armor, while sloped, gave it an commensurate thickness of 2". The 37mm cannon was the tanker's biggest gripe. The crewmen nicknamed the 37mm the 'peashooter'. While still destructive against lightly armored enemy combat vehicles, against the thick armored Panther and Tiger I and II, the 37mm rounds simply ricocheted off. M5 tankers served as forward reconnaissance scouts and flank security. It was best not to tangle with German tanks like the PzKpfw IV, the Panther, and the Tiger I and Kingtiger. Encounters with self-propelled cannon tracked armor like the StuG III and Hetzer were likely to come off poorly for the Stuart. After WW2 ended the M5 Stuart immediately disappeared from the U.S. Army inventory. Numbers of M5 and M5A1 Stuarts were handed to American allies and friendly nations as military support.

Pretty sweet little tank, Phil! 😃 Looks like it can crawl nicely! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I live in the US so these are hard to get parts for, but I still order them because of how fun they are💯👍…

So fun fact the teeth on the front are for clearing hedgerows, in France during the D-Day landings the US found out pretty early on that the hedgerows were going to be a bit of a concealment issue for them since they couldn’t see into them very well but the Germans could see out of them very easily and so the teeth were field modifications turned into a proper adjustment for the tanks and such there

That looks brilliant and I need one!

Ah man ! Not only did i miss you driving the cross rc , i missed you testing out this awsome little thing! Think i might need to make a trailer for my kanyon and stick one of these on

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="315">5:15</a> thats actually a hedgerow cutter haha, funny how it doesnt really seem to do its job haha

Really cool to see someone finally doing a 1/16 scale Stuart! Here's hoping we see more stuff like this soon!

It's funny that the hedge cutter gets stuck on grass ( the thing on the front is to get through hedges after the us got to France after d day)

Where did you order the smoke fluid?It's difficult to make your own?

You need to review the Ankou Team Pz IV when it fully releases, it is released technically but box by box for now, its a cast iron tank with a tiny bit of plastic bits around and I just wanna see how well it can do on the same terrain you tested this light tank on.

Not a tank person either but this is pretty good looking. How is it on the sandy stuff?

i'm curious about smoke unit because mine didnt smoke too and i add fluid too

totally would love to see more tanks!!

It’s a decent RC & looks good when driving it it was like ya it looks ok but once it got to the mud & dirt it looked right at home.

Ah, the Stuart. A speedy little thing, it is. Does she have TWO engines!?

Cool litle tank. The name Stuart is likely referring to Jeb Stuart, a famous Cavalry officer in the American Civil War. Just like other tanks at the time, Grant, Lee and Sherman.

What!? No indicators? 😅

American tanks had all sorts of things on the hull naughty being very tame among them. The M5 Stuart was a light reconnaissance vehicle that was fast agile and loved by its crews and was I believe he fastest tank of the war.

I've got a heng long tank (a stug iii) and the smoke machine is very hit and miss on mine. Also, I think it'd be cool to see an RC half track on the channel

Love the transmitter!

The M5 ran twin Ford V8 Engines, so not as fast as the model in scale, but very quick for a light recon tank.

Looks nice.. Are there optional metal tracks to put on?

From Berlin to Warsaw in one Tank - Naughty!😂

on these little “smoke rigs” it’s (usually) just a humidifier so water should be just fine ? Worth a try 🤷🏾‍♂️

Love a good tank 💪🏻

Nice a tank great switch up. Love your vids bud

I decided to by an MJX 14210 based on you're recommendations, forgetting that I had problem with mods and modding things. Damn things cost me a fortune so far, is still in bits and weeks away from everything arriving before I can play with it! I've so many spare parts I built a second for my wife to rag round with!!

That looks like it would be perfect for chasing the cats around!

Hi new to your channel(: Ive fancied a remote control tank for a while is it ok to run them out doors and thru water are they water proof generally?

IIRC, it's named after JEB Stuart, a Confederate Cavalry General. Just as the "Sherman" is named after a Union General.

Can you increase the volume on tank, doesn't seem loud enough

What a great performing tank for a reasonable price. Thanks Tomley rc

Yes, as a tank name, "Naughty" is pretty tame...Look what guys name their airplanes... I crewed an M60 named "Acid Queen" in Germany back in the '70s

Beautiful little tank 😍 💯 🇬🇧

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="105">1:45</a> they weren't, right? these caps were for the knobs in the middle of the top row ;-)

Odd, I had a cheap RC Stuart tank maybe 30 years ago. No sound, lights or smoke. Wonder if they're using the old dies. Didn't last too long.

I'm not sure which was better... the video or the comments this time. This tank is fabulous

The Stuart “Honey” tank was a favorite of the British 8th Army in North Africa. See Robert Crisp’s book Brazen Chariots! They were considered to be a minor Godsend when they first arrived.

That looks pretty good, i recon it would look good on the back of a wpl b36 transporter.... As its fast.... Can we have a speed run please ???

That a way mate that a way Awesome video you now are a tank guy More tanks cheers

the cutters on the front where actually used to get through the hedgerows in France

Regards the funny name. "Stuart" is actually the designation for the M3 and M5 light tank series given these as U.S. produced lend-lease vehicles by the British Army. The British practice was to name U.S. tanks after Civil War generals, in this case J.E.B. Stuart, CSA Cavalry Commander. This was not a U.S. Army designation, but was later adopted. The later M3 Medium tanks were designated as "Lee" or "Grant", depending on version, and the of course the M4 Medium would be called the "Sherman". Again, these were name coined by the British not he U.S. Army but I think they work quite well.

Lovely little thing! Do they have any other models?

That is a beautiful tank. No idea how much 92 quid equals but that tank is definitely worth it.

Military models are a good change, yes please do more Tomley :]

What glue do you use ?

Cute little one!!!

That looks so cool.

Moar military! Especially CrossRC stuff.

It is perfect for the price, but it would really benefit from some added weight and metal tracks.

That thing on the front that gets stuck in is a Culin hedgerow cutter.

Is this a new brand or another repackaged henglong? Have never seen this controller on other rc tanks. This seems a bit better made than the Henglong tanks.

Given how quick it is, I would be inclined to see about taking the tank body off and slapping one of the FMS 1/18th scale Chevy bodies on it. Tank trucks kind of had a short stint of popularity in the early 90s Monster Truck scene. I think it would have done even better if the tracks were tightened up a bit, actually surprised as loose as they are you didn't throw one.

Hopefully being 1/16 it'll fit well with the wpl transporter

The cutter was not for mines, it was for hedges and bushes in the liberation days

When ya gunna do a review of the new 1/18 rc steyr 1500a german command vehicle, although from what I've seen it's nearer 1/16 scale, upper body is diecast too, also lights, dash dial lights, and smoking exhaust too

why does it have neutral steering.

Be nice if it had an IR sensor for tank play. Then if it did it would probably cost twice as much. Fun little tank.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="290">4:50</a> Real WT replay of me rushing to the nearest cap in my M5A1

the front part was for cutting through hegrows in France in Normandy

I love the military stuff 👍

yep! MORE TANKS please! 🤩😋

Hi there friend. The American designers of tanks in WW2, did not name their tanks. The British army did, naming them after the American Civil War generals !! And the fork in the front was used to clear trees and hedgerows.

Will you be reviewing Mjx 10208?? First proper basher 1/10 from China?
