Excellent videos!! Have literally only been in the hobby for a week after accidently coming across other videos, but in that time I've bought a basic Heng Long Tiger 1, and have been completely bitten by the bug!! Probably about as close as I'll ever get to owning a real tank; absolutely loving all the mods, upgrades, and other things that one can do. As a military buff, I've learned so much about real Tigers from reading various forums, KZbin videos, etc. So great to get into a hobby that's also educational. Please keep up the good work with your presentations, they're really appreciated... 👍😎

Thanks for your kind words!

​@@StanlleyLegion Hi i have a problem with my tank and i need assistance can you help me. My henglong m1a2 abrams metal tracks pins allways start coming off on one side while playing since a branch got stuck in the sprocket wheel and the track bended a track pin and the track came off also i noticed that one track is now shorter or longer than the other one. Plz help

[@darrylcarpenter903]

Thank for the explanation how the idler works. I need to make mine a bit tighter so I'll give that a try.

[@dennismatovich8411]

New tanker here, great job on your videos!

[@StanlleyLegion]

Thanks Dennis

[@exzendar2523]

Awesome Video, i have a hengLong an torro tiger1 and very much problems with them

[@toddpickens]

Great stuff! Thanks for the video. I was having a lot of problems with my panzer 3H tracks coming off. Poked around after watching this and found that it has an adjustment screw. That mostly solve the problem. The only shortcoming now is that the hubs on the road wheels are just tension fit and I've now managed to lose two of them driving around the backyard

[@scottcupp8129]

Great video. I just got a HengLong Stug with metal tracks. JUST got it, I am having problems with the track popping off of the idler in the rear as it is a front sprocket drive. It is still popping off and I adjusted the tension. I am charging it right now so I am going to see what happens. I made some adjustments to it so we will see. Again, thank you. Great video!

[@kriskozub2419]

Very helpful video for a RC tank newbie!

[@exzendar2523]

Realy cool!! Need that!!!

[@TestECull]

6:52 Note for other viewers: This does not apply if you're working on vehicles with different track links in the same track run. Like, say, a Russian T-34. You have to remove TWO links from one of those or else the track won't join back up at all.

[@svorc88]

You are an excellent teacher, thank you so very much!

[@JIPPERR_1]

I've read that setting the spring to the stiffer position at the front and rear road wheels can help as well as it helps the tracks hold more tension.

[@NBKRebelGamer87]

Got a King Tiger and my Dad got a Tiger 1, we are officially into RC Tanks! Great video I have added to my playlist in case I need it :) Next job is to look through your channel for a video on the smoke generator as mine barely smoked on the first play with it then stopped smoking after 30 minutes. I can hear the smoke generator working but it just won't smoke!

[@WilliamBrothers]

Thanks! Very helpful. I wasn't pushing down on the hull to put the treads back on, but I'll do it now

[@StanlleyLegion]

Oh dear! Let me check

[@FrancisSullivan-j7t]

I Love your channel,i wish i could send my t34/85 to get track service...annoying..you're in Malaysia, im in the U.S...Love your videos!!!!

[@GIJha]

Damn. My Tiger 1 keeps slipping off. Was trying to delink and broke a pin. Does your site have spare link pins?

[@RCWelt]

Thanks for this helpful video. But I think the system in the metall tigers are better, you can drive in snow or dirt without any problems..

[@StanlleyLegion]

indeed- the metal hull with the metal parts are much stronger and stiffer, so everything stays in place better to prevent the tracks from coming off

[@chuckwalters4759]

If you would do a King Tiger Henglong track change tips that would be helpful!

[@chuckwalters4759]

It's not easy

[@TestECull]

4:05 The adjusters on my HL 7.0 KV-1E are very scale and can be adjusted simply by removing two return rollers and sliding an allen driver up against the hull.

[@Wolfe351]

G'day from Oz, great video. Yesterday I had a track come off and jam on my Aussie M1A1 (modified HL M1A2) the torque from the Ultimate2 gearbox has snapped the brass drive axle off at the bearing in gearbox!! Does your store carry replacement steel axles or the Ultimate2 box?? trying to chase down a new pair to replace the brass ones. THX

[@batangmalabon4d486]

How about for the rest of German tiger 1 sir

[@daviddruxius8496]

With some RC models the chain can also be lengthened on one side by one chain link per side, Tiger, Panther, Panzer IV and 3 because of the sagging effect, with the King Tiger it does not work because it has a main link and a connecting link, i.e. at the plastic tub! Naturally .

[@davidcottam6786]

hi Stanley i have the same issues at the moment can you shed some more light on this thank you

[@StanlleyLegion]

What tank

[@loucksm1rpg]

great video will be buying stuff soon.

[@silverman6019]

can you tell me will the 7.1 board work with the Original radio or do you have to buy a new radio to use 7.1

Hi mate have you got any anti slip sprockets and DAS for a Heng Long T-90 version 7.0?

[@StanlleyLegion]

Yes we do

Love your video's. Have a question. Have a Henglong British commander II. How do you remove the steel hub cap from the sprocket wheel to tight the screw under it? Thank You!

[@StanlleyLegion]

it's usually press fitted on. But check if it's a twist cap!

[@richardalexander5758]

Really helpful, thanks!

[@Andrey_Moto83]

Stenlley,почему Heng Long не делает реальную торсионную подвеску на танках как это делает Taigen?)

[@Wingman-ls4bs]

I have a 7.0 henglong m4 Sherman and I want to upgrade the steel gear box. How many do I need? Thx

[@battlement]

@Stanlley Legion You mentioned the aluminum brace kit. Could you do a video ranking what you think is the most important upgrades for tanks? With so many tank upgrades, this would be really helpful for us new to the RC tank scene to know which upgrades are the most important and the ones we should be seeking first.

[@TacticianMark]

You're in luck - he already did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmevm3Wobr6Ne5I

[@StanlleyLegion]

@@TacticianMark thanks!

[@pdeluca379]

Do you have the DAS for the Walker Bulldog and the inner brace as well

[@dimon4_8_9]

And the supports of the output shafts with bearings will fit on the shafts of Tiger gearboxes? Or are they universal suitable for any gearboxes?

[@StanlleyLegion]

Universal for the Tiger 1

@@StanlleyLegion It's clear, but tell me if I have Taigen 7:1 28k RPM gearboxes on my king tiger, wheel bearings with bearings fit on the shafts of these gearboxes?

Thank you Stanlley!

[@sinisternm]

ugh, i need that guide for the tiger1, any chance there are plans for that one too?

[@sinisternm]

or maybe its possible to it modify to fit?

[@StanlleyLegion]

@@sinisternm i'll make one for front sprocket tanks i suppose!

[@TestECull]

9:10 I need this for my 7.0 KV-1E. I have to run the tracks far tighter than I want to in order to keep them from riding up on top of the drive sprocket teeth and I'm betting this is a large part of why.

[@vhd72]

Hi Stan. So I have the HL 3889 6.0 Leopard and I want to her the DAS. Are there different sizes and what would you recommend? Thanks and great video btw

[@StanlleyLegion]

yes we have these: the bearings will slip on perfectly. www.rctanklegion.com/products/rc-tank-legion-axle-support-bearing-for-v-6-with-ball-bearings-1-1

Exuce me i want to ask, the anytime all of tank same track?

[@StanlleyLegion]

nope. Different tank, different track

[@FrancisSullivan-j7t]

I wish my kv 1 and Kv 2 had more track sag

[@ArmchairTroop]

If only one side keeps getting de-tracked, should I only adjust that side? For example, taking of a link, should I only take off links of the side that is de-tracking and leave the other side alone?

[@StanlleyLegion]

Yes sir just fix the side with the problems. Adjust the tensioners first.

[@ArmchairTroop]

@@StanlleyLegion Still seem to be having issues when using MATO rubber padded tracks no matter what i do. I'm using MATO sprocket and Idler as well. Could it be the suspension springs? I adjusted those to have stronger tension a while back since my tank was moving like a Low Riding car. The original all metal tracks and sprocket/idler seem to be running fine now though.

[@StanlleyLegion]

@@ArmchairTroop yea could be springs. But driving in tight turns on grippy surfaces also pulls the tracks off, making it detrack!

[@ArmchairTroop]

@@StanlleyLegion ah, well it seems to be happening mostly on the carpet with the MATO tracks. Not even turning though. Just driving straight forward and the track on one side starts moving away from the sprocket

[@StanlleyLegion]

@@ArmchairTroop what's your tank? seems like the driveshaft is flexing in the gearbox

What do i do if i keep tensioning the tracks, but after a few runs it gets loose again?? How do i fix that?

Loctite the screw maybe. Use the weaker loctite

@@StanlleyLegion its a henglong TK6 tiger 1. I have had to tighten the track tension two or three times now and iv only had it since the beginning of April 😂 i think the problem might be the suspension but I’m not sure 🤔 what do you think?

[@StanlleyLegion]

@@karebear4485 well... change to metal tracks- the plastic tracks needs tight tension to keep them on, but metal tracks don't need to be tight. BUT you'll need the DAS to keep the driveshaft steady
