I bought a TANK! - Heng Long 1/16 German Tiger 1 RC Tank Unboxing, Review & First Run

[@SandJ-Adventures]

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. 👍😁

[@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)

[@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

[@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! 🤣👍

[@1paddybear]

I just bought one about 1 hour before I saw this video so I am even more excited for it coming. 48 year old man going on 12!

[@robertbraun7155]

The smile on your face says it all!!

[@DoURC]

I love it, it's just so cool. 👍😎

[@keith91z28]

Motion RC needs you to do the unboxing and introduction videos to their entire tank line. Great video, informative in the correct way to rc's and of course we all love demonstration videos as well.

[@DoURC]

Ah thanks very much, really appreciate it. 👍😁 I'd live that, I definitely need more tanks in my collection! 😎 I just ordered the Sherman the other day and will be getting the Pro King Tiger next. Every time I start this up it puts a smile on my face. 😁 Thanks very much for the great comment. 👍

[@keith91z28]

@@DoURC Hell yeah brotha. I had bought the king tiger with the steel gear box and then added metal tracks and wheels to it the other day. Thing is a beast and I ordered the 390s motors and hull reinforcement plate for it as well. You will like it, its big. Next on the list is crawler/mudder rc but I have no idea with those.

[@DoURC]

@@keith91z28 Sounds awesome. 👍😎 I was trying to order one for Christmas as my present to myself, but nowhere local had stock. Will have to be a New Years present instead. 🤣👍

[@keith91z28]

@@DoURC Ah that sucks. Well Happy late christmas present lol. I look forward to seeing videos on it. Happy holidays man

This is hilarious. I have a still in the brown shipping box Heng Long Sherman sitting by the tree for Chrsitmas.....my wife is going to have the same reaction I am sure LOL

[@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. 👍

[@stephenogburn496]

I'm getting one. I want to do some modifications like changing out the main hatch to a mid/late version, and adding Zimmerit will the tricolor camouflage pattern...Normandy 1944.

[@DoURC]

Sounds great, it's such s nice tank and so much fun. 👍

[@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 😂.

[@michaelrorintulus5905]

What brand is your tank all the tanks that I see only do Infa red and don't actually shoot

[@GTswe]

@ Hello! I can see if I can find out :).

[@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. 👍😁

[@RickyOlsenIII]

just got a tiger 1 RC yesterday on Christmas and i love it

[@DoURC]

Ah awesome, did you get the basic version like this or one of the upgrade options with metal tracks etc? Merry Christmas 👍🎅

[@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.

[@Lou_Skunt_420]

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 :)

[@Mike-kc8rl]

This version seems to have a much updated sound file ! The heng long tanks are notorious for not being that good? With things going wrong frequently? But I'm sure this later version is much improved?

[@DoURC]

This is the v7. I haven't had any issues with it, still works, even after mud running it! 🤣😁 If you're going to get one, it's worth getting the metal upgrade version. 👍

[@davidherbaugh3626]

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

[@DoURC]

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

[@CMDR_MetalMadness]

@@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. 👍

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

[@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.

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 :/
