RC Tanks & Trucks 24/7 i have a rc tank but i don't know that what is the model when i am pushing start button but it is not starting can you do something

[@oscarfernandez1574]

Yeah a weathering series would be cool. I have been watching your channel for about 6 months now, since I got into RC trucks and buggies, and this is the first time I have ever seen an RC tank. I must say it is pretty cool. I will definitely be going back to check out all your early tank videos now that I see how awesomely they function. Great video.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Oscar Fernandez thanks Oscar. Yeah I have several older tank related videos. Appreciate your support and thanks for watching brother.

[@akajd5907]

Fantastic review, well done sir. After further review, I finally pulled the trigger, and purchased this Jagdpanther at AliExpress for $86.99 USD w/free shipping out the door. With the money saved I also purchased the Heng Long 69-081 Metal Drive Gear Box for this unit. $20 USD. Thanks again. Regards from California.

[@75opala]

Well done!

[@airindiana]

Glad to hear you're doing more tank build stuff, they were great vids

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+airindiana much appreciated brother. I love my tanks :)

[@SHAYEN-cd5qw]

Great review Steve, I have wanted a tank for years and never took the plunge so I have 2 more payments on my New RC and then I may just look into buying one of these for myself. 2 thumbs up very cool.

[@evilfingers4302]

Pretty cool, wish Heng Long would come up with a StuG IV Tank Destroyer like the one I'm putting together with a Heng Long Panzer IV chassis and Asiatam StuG IV conversion kit, metal parts, IBU2 Pro board, Clark Model recoil/elevation kit and so on.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Evil Fingers yeah that would be awesome. Maybe in the future

[@sheepmasterrace]

+Evil Fingers, I think there is a StuG made by heng long. I'm not sure if it's a StuG IV, ift might be a III.

[@evilfingers4302]

Black Sheep Yeah I've seen it, it's a conversion kit of the Jagdpanzer IV L48, Asiatam also has a similar kit.

[@wonderperson8473]

On eBay you can buy a stug

[@banthapoodo]

I'm all for not just seeing the weathering video but progressional upgrades in a series as I've just ordered one after watching this and am keen to get started in yet another cool hobby. Informative and great video man

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+banthapoodo thanks mate. Much appreciated and thanks for watching and commenting.

[@RCJOE]

everything I've seen since I started following you this is the first tank that I've seen you review 👍👍

[@darkstardavros]

Great video. I bought a Heng Long Panther but it was one of those Pantigers. Half Panther,half Tiger. Didn't realize it until it arrived on my doorstep. No worries. Just change the wheels and redo the frontal armour so that it looks right. Not as easy I thought. It was one of the old 5 stage Heng Long models. So none of the Panther G parts would really fit the Panther A. Which is what I was converting it to. But I found that the wheels from the Trumpertier 1/16 panther G was perfect for it. Some metal running gear plus metal tracks are recommended. You will also need the longer version of the crank for the new panther G drive wheels. As the Tiger one's will be too short. You will also need to replace the idler wheels at the back to the correct one's as well. There's also the need to add some plastic tubing in the centre of the road wheels to A. Get the wheels into the right position and B. Fit the wheels to the axle. Otherwise they will just be flipping around. Getting the front of the hull is a right ol'challenge but once you've done it. It looks great. I would change all the plastic accessories ect for metal one's as well. As you can end up hunting for the bits that came off with the plastic ones that come off while in use. Which,even though I've glued them on, seems to be a regular occurrence when I've finished using the tank. As it goes like a tank. Drives through things like a tank but unfortunately doesn't stay in one piece like a tank. Lol. So yea. These things are lot's of fun. Just watch out for those bits that fall off. Lol 😆😆😈

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Much appreciated brother 👍. Glad you like it

[@parker1ray]

I have been building models for 45 years. Tamiya has always been top shelf, but you do pay for name in addition to quality!

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Absolutely, best quality for sure

[@PeterWeber]

Cool looking tank!

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Peter Weber thanks man

👍👍👍👍👍👍 I'm going to have to pick one of these up. I would love to also see the detailing video of this tank to get some ideas.

[@MrWarwick15]

A weathering video would be much appreciated! Thank you, Rich.

[@DutchRC]

That is quite a cool / nice / well detailed rendition of a classical tank sir :) I allways wonder how well / badly tanks like this would do against scalers (such as RC4WD cars)? :)

Excellent review and I really like this tank thinking about purchasing one I too would love to see you whether one and how you are doing it I haven't weathered anyting in a very very long time and even then a lot more products have came out since then so yes two thumbs up for weathering video if I get this tank or something different I can trying to start working on doing some weathering myself

[@mustafatasangil3806]

I bought my Jagdpanther from Modelzone in 2013. It's worth it.

[@ArmourEmpire]

nice what heng long have done with that. good price point too

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Armour Empire yeah it's so cheap. They have come along way.

[@that_radio_control_guy1911]

Hey man great video, I have a question. Does your tank have issues with one side of the tracks coming off and how can I rectify this issue. Mine is new and basically undriveable

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Thanks. Track tension which is too loose will cause that to happen. Tightened them or remove a link.

[@braddixon3338]

Excellent review, nice detailed explanation showing all the features. You kind of talked me into getting one now :-)

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Much appreciated Brad, thanks for the support and glad you liked it

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@andrewap77]

Good review. But I’m new to RC tanks and I want know can you send me link to your videos on weathering how too’s. Thanks

[@TestECull]

They've come a long way in the 5 years between this going up and today. Almost wonder if you could do a video on the 7.0 version of this thing, compare the two. I have a 7.0 KV-1E Pro Edition and it's a hoot.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Nice, beautiful tank. I need to get some newer heng long tanks to review

[@TestECull]

@@RCTanksTrucks247 You'll love 'em. My KV-1E 7.0 is a beast. I haven't been able to get it stuck yet. HAs some serious weight, well built, love it. Def gonna be buying more of these things haha

[@TestECull]

@@RCTanksTrucks247 Also I've noticed the airsoft is a bit more potent than it used to be. I have a ZTZ-99 from way back when...had to aim the gun vertically by holding stick down and letting it cycle, shoot by stick up...and that airsoft gun was pathetic. KV-1E? Actually smarts a li'l if it hits bare skin. Accuracy is...well, scale/historic, we will say, but it is definitely worth playing with.

[@ianmaw66]

Good video thanks. According to wikipedia there are seven surviving Jagdpanthers, three of which are running. I am so tempted to buy the tank destroyer after watching your review :)

[@itsgodzagain]

Would love to see you upgraing that thing!

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+sounak bar hopefully in future videos

[@MindBit3]

I think Heng long tanks are quite good for the price you can get them. They just need some weathering and there they go, pretty cool

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Definitely great value for the money

[@rangergamer5599]

Does it fire?

[@stingz4444]

[@trondom6990]

Dose this one have exhaust smoke

[@BasBoyRC]

Heng long have improved a lot since the early days with he terrible Panther/tiger hybrid. But the controller is so much better and now with more features. Would be nice to see weathering videos.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Basildon Trail Blazing Buddies thanks man

[@dennisc6606]

Have a Henlong Panzer III grey one apx 8 years old with metal gears. My smoke unit failed on second run and bb mech stopped shooting but cycles and sounds ok just nothing comes out after apx 20 runs . Bought new haven't run it for a few years. Have they improved these parts over the years?

[@bludothesmelly]

Dennis C i would say taigen is better made over heng longs still

[@panzerwolf494]

Heng Long has improved, but mostly for the newer models. Older stuff like the PZ III I'd say save up your money and buy something from Taigen or some place that's upgraded them. I've got the Taigen t-34/85 and Jagdtiger and they are beautiful awesome setups. Then I have a Heng Long King Tiger which is mostly a parts tank at the moment because stuff is kinda frail. Kinda kicking myself for not just waiting and getting that from Taigen too. I think my next will be to finally break into Tamiya and get a KV-2

[@BaronAW300]

I have the henlong panther G is a very cool tank

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+belgium invader600 beautiful tank

[@Cheetah437]

Now 7.0 version has arrived and the suspension is the torsion bar system

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Awesome. I have to check it out

[@stoves92]

Can the track tension be adjusted? Track sag on this one isn't correct.

[@evilfingers4302]

stoves92 get the Taigen Panther/Jagdpanther lower hull, it has everything you're looking for.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+stoves92 no but you adjust it with adding or taking away track links

[@stoves92]

+ Evil Fingers I have looked a taigen, They seems nice but they are 350-700 Dollars.

[@evilfingers4302]

Well in that case, get a Heng Long Jagdpanther, and mod in a Rear Wheel Tensioner heng-long-panzer.de/de/ZUBEHOeR-ERSATZTEILE-PANZER-JAGDPANTHER/HennTec-High-Quality-Kettenspannsystem-fuer-Heng-Long-JagdPanther-1-16.html

[@temevalleyassetinvestor449]

I'd be interested in learning how you weather the tank.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Check out my first video's on my channel. I have done many weathering tutorials

[@cogboy3587]

I ordered one of these a few years back. It was pretty much factory new, and I ran it on my smooth patio outside. Then after around two hours it refused to do anything. I recharged the battery and changed the controllers battery, yet it did nothing. So I returned it and got a replacement, which I only had run on smooth pavement and tarmac, then one of the tracks jammed for some reason and I couldn't un jam it no matter what. So I returned it for a full refund. I can't tell if I just had awful luck or the rc in both cases had flawed productions.

[@mikesipes5305]

yes pls, do a weathering for this TD. I ordered one and would like to do it up to look more scale then what it already does so pls.I placed my order though Bang Good as well

[@buffalosoldiers4688]

[@benward5491]

I have a question. How do you fix the smoke for the smoke on the back of my challenger. And I really got tired of the fake sounds . And I seen people with their tanks and the turret goes all the way around. And the barrel has working realistic recoil. I wish I could buy the metal parts and gears and tracks for the challenger. But I only bought the challenger to start it up at the door to shut the dogs up and chase em with it.

[@bulletheed1970]

I would add another link to the tracks they look a bit tight . I would like to see a weathering video there's not many on YT

[@DogRoar-dq4ri]

These tanks are broken far more than they are running. Great idea, but terrible engineering. Unlike what this video shows....you take them outside and its all over. Soon they won't turn one way of another, and then the gears strip. These are propaganda sales videos paid by the Chinese to make you think they are fun and practical. Even with the upgraded metal tracks and gears...no good. After running them for a session, they are boring. They are nice static displays, but zinc gears don't work for long under any stress at all. Any small pebbles will stop the tracks. Any unsettling terrain and they won't operate. Get them wet and it's all over. They are amazing looking, well detailed, and accurate. Just cheap materials like most PRC items.....so they break...often.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]
