Ha! Great stuff - I love the enthusiasm you've got for this! I watched this video after your Bovington museum vid and I can see that you'll have hours of fun doing the detailing and weathering. It sounds great and looks the part already. I actually can't believe how cheap it was - maybe I now know why people baulk at Traxxas prices😄 I can\t pretend I'm into mititaria, and my tank knowledge is restricted to identifying a Sherman, but this is really cool.

[@DoURC]

🤣 Thanks very much, I was a little excited wasn't I! 🤣😁 Appreciate the continued support. The Tank Museum was awesome, I'm sure my video didn't do it justice. Yeah I'm really happy with the tank. The full metal versions are about £250-300, so a little more expensive but probably worth paying the extra. For £142 I think this Heng Long is awesome though, you're getting a lot for your money. 🤣 Traxxas is expensive, but then they're awesome too. 👍 Thanks very much for watching and commenting. 👍😎

[@SandJ-Adventures]

@@DoURC Rob, a friend here is very keen on one of these - where did you buy yours?

[@DoURC]

@S and J Adventures I just got it off Ebay for £142 with I think free next day delivery. If they're happy to spend more I'd suggest getting the Pro version which has all the metal upgrades. 👍

[@SandJ-Adventures]

@@DoURC Thanks Rob.👍 Yes, I think they are thinking metal gears may be the way to go. So far, I'm resisting the temptation to join the party!😄

[@DoURC]

@S and J Adventures 🤣 Give in to the temptation, they're awesome fun and just so cool. 👍😁

[@robertbraun7155]

The smile on your face says it all!!

[@DoURC]

I love it, it's just so cool. 👍😎

[@larryjohnson1966]

Be forewarned, I bought a Tiger 1, and then I bought a Panzer IV, and then a Sherman, and then a Panzer III. They are habit forming.

[@DoURC]

🤣🤣🤣 Yeah I can understand that, I was eyeing up the King Tiger straight away! 🤣👍

[@mikebenoit6648]

You can upgrade your Tank I'm getting Metal Tracks and Sprockets soon

[@mikebenoit6648]

Amazon has all the upgrade parts

[@mikebenoit6648]

Getting my metal Tracks and Sprockets soon

[@rctankgo]

Great mate! Your happy face reminds me also when I unboxed my very first RC Tank!. Now I have 7 of them and still have the same feeling everytime I get a new one!

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much mate 👍 That sounds like where I'll be headed, as there's just so many cool RC tanks. I really want the King Tiger next I think. They are great fun aren't they. 👍 Thanks very much for watching and commenting, appreciate it. 👍

[@RCBirds]

Very cool, Heng Long's doing great tank models

[@DoURC]

Yeah, I'm really happy with it. I think I definitely need a King Tiger too with metal upgrades! 😬🤣👍

[@RCBirds]

@@DoURC yupp, tracks and gears are the key for an improved run. (Had a Panther 15 years ago)

[@nereoton]

What a nice enjoyable video amigo! I liked the way you filmed the tank in action very much! I think I just found my new hobby! 😀 This Tiger is the one for me to get now.

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much 👍 They are great fun and definitely puts a smile on your face. 👍😁

[@AddamsPlayground]

They are full of smiles for sure. I have had a blast driving mine around. I get so caught up in the sounds and and watching the road wheels working up and down as it rolls over stuff! Congrats on getting one and I am sure it won't be the only one!

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much mate, they're awesome aren't they. Have you got a Tiger as well or something else? It definitely makes me smile. I was laughing to myself as people were watching me drive it around! 🤣 Well I think it would be rude not to get a King Tiger don't you think! 🤣🤦😬

[@AddamsPlayground]

@@DoURC I have the Walker Bulldog and the M25 Pershing. Both are great looking ones and they are a blast. If you get another pay a little more and get the professional version with the metal tracks. It sounds even more realistic with the extra squeaks from them! It also gives it a bit more weight so it looks a little better when rolling over things too! It definitely needs a companion!!

[@DoURC]

@AddamsPlayground Thanks very much mate, will do and thanks for the advice. 👍 Ah cool, they're both nice tanks. 👍 They do so many we're spoilt for choice! 🤣👍

[@davidherbaugh3626]

Very fun. I need another one. It's addictive.

[@DoURC]

Great fun aren't they. 👍😎

[@davidherbaugh3626]

Awesome. I keep killing batteries. I am glad I bought 2.

[@DoURC]

@davidherbaugh3626 Yeah nimh don't last long. A lipo would be better, can't remember if stock esc supports one, I'd think so.

[@mikebenoit6648]

German Tiger 1 Tank is cool 😎 I love mine

[@DoURC]

Great aren't they, just so much fun and always puts a smile on my face. 👍

[@SpazFrag]

Just picked up this bad boi as my first RC...anything! So extremely excited for it to arrive, what a great looking tank. Thanks for the great and throrough video about it mate. Subbed :)

[@DoURC]

Ah awesome, it's so cool. I was literally like a big kid at Christmas opening mine! 🤣 Hope you enjoy it. Appreciate the comment and sub 👍😁

[@Bercyable]

Well produced review! Great photography too. Very convincing too. So convincing I have placed an order for one myself, only I've gotten an upgraded version with metal tracks and gearbox as I live in the country ( Oregon U.S.S.) and intend to do more "offroad" driving rather than terrorising the kitties indoor. Again a very well done review ... can't wait to get mine delivered. Thanks mate!!

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it. 👍 Yeah upgraded version is definitely the way to go. Hope you enjoy it. 👍

[@rcplaytime]

Congratulations on your awesome tank,and great filming,looks very scale,can't wait to see what you do with it,i have the walker bulldog tank, there great fun and pretty tough 😀👍👍👌👌💪💪

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much mate, it's so cool, I love it. They do quite a few different models don't they which is cool. 👍

[@Fawbie_WW2]

I personally own a Sherman King tiger KV-2 Tiger 1 M4A3E8 Sherman and an abrams also you forgot the machine gun piece

[@DoURC]

Nice, that sounds like an awesome collection you have there. 👍😎

[@DoubleDownDBo]

Awesome!! I think I might have to get myself a Heng long Sherman tank after seeing your video.

[@DoURC]

Thanks very much. 👍 Yeah that would be cool. I'd love all of them, but I think I need a King Tiger next with metal upgrades. Hope you enjoy it if you get one. 👍👍

[@DoURC]

🤣🤣🤣...can't park there sir...oh yes I can! 🤣👍

[@GTswe]

I bought one like this 18 years ago! Same size in camo and it shoots BBs. I had a great time with it. And dad just Cleaned out the garage and found it in the back, Now we just Need to find the charger !!

[@DoURC]

That's awesome, not sure an 18 year old battery is going to be up to much though. Hope you can get it running, they're awesome fun. 👍

[@GTswe]

@@DoURC I Will most likely order a New one , since the cost is so low 😂.

[@shivrambhadauriya4586]

Best creator👍🎉🎉

[@davidherbaugh3626]

My first one came yesterday. It's so fun.

[@DoURC]

Excellent, they're awesome fun aren't they 👍😎

[@1985EganPeter]

@@DoURC can i ask you a question? In your video i dont see the front machine gun barrel mounted, wich i do see in some other video's.. i just got my tiger and i dont think it came with the barrel, at least i can find it in the box.. now i'm wondering if i can contact them somehow to get one of those barrels..

[@DoURC]

@1985EganPeter Yeah I forgot to stick it on in the review video. Pretty sure it was in one of the bags that came in the box, possibly with the driver, but it's a while since I got it. Be worth asking them, or check on something like Aliexpress for spares. 👍

[@1985EganPeter]

@@DoURC YOU WERE RIGHT.. i just overlooked it.. it was right there in the bag haha. Thanks :)

[@DoURC]

@1985EganPeter Ah awesome, glad you found it. If you're happy for it not to move I'd glue it on. 👍 Keep on Tanking. 👍😎💪

[@chrispetersen7551]

Where did you buy that AWESOME hoodie? BTW ... thanks for the video. Well done. I own the H.L. Tiger 2 and the Panther. Great fun & I've enjoyed painting and weathering them. They are also deployed in my backyard, to keep my neighbor's feral chickens at bay. Quite effective ...

[@DoURC]

🤣 That's brilliant, do you have to fire the odd warning shot across their beak from time to time! 🤣😎 The hoodie I got from the Tank Museum where Tiger 131 is located in the UK. You can order from their online store. 👍 I really want a Tiger 2 still, definitely high up my list of purchases I need to make. 👍😎

[@ThatOneDominusGuy]

I actually used to have that one, but i think something went wrong with the battery so i decided to test it the WhistlinDiesel way :/

[@DoURC]

🤣 That's no good! 😬

[@ThatOneDominusGuy]

Ik💀, it was actually more durable than i thought it would be tho

[@scottsuttan2123]

shit them tanks are the best its gun shot too not bad too for airsoft i bought mine back in 2004 gotta stug in 2008 fun ta lay tracks in the snow 😊

[@DoURC]

They're cool aren't they. I really want the King Tiger but with the turret recoil. 👍😎 Stug sounds cool. 👍

[@vbspeed7571]

Have u seen any r tank battles on r channel? These tanks rock😊👋🌍🤘🤘

@@_invertico_ I use a Samsung S21 Ultra 👍

[@_invertico_]

@@DoURC awesome! I love Samsung! I currently have a Nokia g21 but I really hope I will get a Samsung s23 ultra in the future

[@DoURC]

@_invertico_ That's cool, I'd like to try the newer Ultra to see how it compares. The one thing I do find with the S21 Ultra, is it struggles in low light.

[@josephwilliams4779]

How did you get yours to work properly, my controller doesn't work or only works for a few seconds. 😢

[@DoURC]

Mine worked fine out the box. Is yours the v7 or an older model? You could try rebinding the transmitter?

[@josephwilliams4779]

@@DoURC generation 7.0. I tried resoddering the power supply and finally got it to turn on, but now the transmitter beeps constantly and I have spotty control over the tank. At best I get a few seconds of solid control before it unbinds and the tank no longer responds to inputs.
