A few tips re. "upgrades" from someone who have a few of these, including the Tamiya ones. Easiest tip is store your tank's hull on a block of wood, so that the tracks don't make contact with the ground when not in use. Your suspension will spoil within months if you leave the full weight of the tank on it constantly. The best upgrade you can give your tank is a good paintjob and weathering. That'll beat out any "realism" mods you buy. The next tip is metal =/= better. Metal =more weight = strained drivetrain=need for better motors = need for stronger gearbox. The tank's suspension will get worse and less realistic the more weight you put on it. The only thing that really needs to be metal is probably the drive sprocket. If you're good enough, get a programmable radio (OpenTX) to program in things like gearing, inertia or additional lights. Good luck and have fun. I've come across from scale modelling to RC tanks, and can't go back anymore.

These tanks are a lot of fun and the electronics included are getting more sophisticated with each new version. I've had a heng long leopard 2a6 for over a year now. Its definitly worth it to get metal tracks and wheels, make sure you get a recent version of the control board. I have a big nimh battery that lives in mine, it's always got enough charge in it for a garden patrol. Driving experience is like a crawler but with tracks the approach to obstacles is different. Tracks can jam up on sticks and rocks so mind the terrain you run it on. Lots of fun, the control board supports many optional functions for those willing to tinker with ot a bit. Cheers!

Tanks a lot for your video. We learned the hard way with our 7 tanks. The changing of the battery exercise sucks sooooo bad since we must flip the tanks over to remove the battery from underneath. What a displeasure dealing with the power switch's location. I would've only purchased 1 or 2 instead just for the experience. Our Walker Bulldog right out of the box came with a burnt smoke unit which was Intermittently failing. Fortunately, the MotionRC tank support guy is great, pleasant, fun to deal with and very patient whilst having me as his hands to open up the tank and get to the bottom of the problems which ultimately resulted in us now waiting for a new smoke unit since we really wanted to keep the tank and not go for a refund/exchange experience. Anyhow, sorry for the rant, and keep up the good work with the videos and the content coverage 👍.

The tracks tend to come off so I added two ball bearings to support each drive shaft. This upgrade takes out all the play from each drive shaft and keeps tracks at proper tension. While I had the gear box opened up, I replaced all the bushings with ball bearings. This upgrade should reduce drag and lower temperature for the motors. I also added a larger battery pack to the front to balance out as current configuration has an uneven weight distirbution which mostly comes from the gear boxes. The turret was upgraded with a 12 channel slip ring which allows it to rotate pass 360 degrees. My tank did not come with barrel recoil. I upgraded it and it's now a double action recoil. Thanks for sharing the video.

what? you didn't upgrade the main gun to fire .22 shorts? lol. That is why I would never buy an R/C tank haha. When you upgraded to the main gun recoil, does your tank jerk sideways when the main gun is fired sideways? I've seen many where the tank jerks backwards even when the gun is fired 90 deg to the hull. In addition, I'd try to add a smoke function to the main gun so there is smoke out the barrel after firing.

As for recoiling (so picky), I have to think about that. Oh yeah, just shoot while the main gun is in parallel with the hull when making a youtube video, average Joe won't note it.

I saw a video where it didn't penetrate 3 rolls of toilet paper. Just thinking outloud, what WOULD be appropriate though is using the .22 blanks they use in starter pistols. You'd get the bang and the smoke. There's a company out there that makes full metal versions (for thousands of $$$) and that'd be more appropriate for this upgrade.

@@RCReviewChannel The Tamiya Tank main gun has 0 elevation (on a real tank its call EL Unclp), 0 elevation is when you have the main gun below 0 degrees and rotate the turret, the gun will automatically raise to 0 to clear the back deck and then retuturn back to neg 0 when the back deck is cleared. This tank uses Gyro`s just like the real tank does which means if your gun is out of stow position and over the front of the tank, you go over terrain that will make the hull and the turret break from parallel of each other the gun will stay stable at 0 degrees . It has blackout drive , the gear box is sealed so you dont have grease flinging all over the inside of your tank and it has 2X 540 motors in it for the power. The turret also rotates at 360 degrees out of the box and the hull has a track tensioner which is just like the real tank. This is just a few of the things that make the Tamiya tank more realistic than the Heng Long.

I had the Heng Long M-4 Sherman. One of my grandsons took it out onto grass and got it stuck. Broke something inside. I thought it had stripped the drive gears, but when I took it apart, the gearboxes looked fine. I can’t figure out why it won’t drive anymore. It’s a static model now. So I just replaced it with the $200.00 version of the M-1A2 Abrams. Fun to play with so far. I agree the manual is a bit confusing. I always leave the turret a bit off center to expose the hatch to the on/off switch when I turn it off. I added some custom painting and “nose art” decals. Painted the tank commander. Add backpacks and pouches to the railings. Extra ammo cans, crates, and Jerry cans in the external storage racks. I am planning to add some Velcro to the base of the tank commander, so he doesn’t fall out, as seen in this video; but will also allow me to remove him when I want to button up the hatches.

10:24 The recoil modelling is faulty. Yes, if the gun is pointing to the direct front you would get some "rock back" with the hull (mainly with the suspension, not the drive sprockets turning). But here the gun is at 10 O'clock but somehow the recoil somehow turns a corner (Newton wants to know why its not conforming with his 3rd law of motion) and still pushes the tank directly back.

Fantastic video, Francis. Quite a "change" from crawlers...but, "change" can be good from time-to-time. After all, it's a similar "change" that led to me getting my first crawler (Axial Capra Kit). Like you, I've also been interested in getting a tank...but, I thought I was going to have to build it (Tamiya), as the only RTRs I was aware of were closer to 'toy' grade. I will (eventually) build one...but, I'm the meantime, to thanks to your video, I now know there are higher quality RTR tanks. At the same time, your video led me back to Motion RC (whom I've ordered other RC stuff from in the past), where I different they carry another brand of RTR tanks...and, they are of even higher quality (and, admittedly, price) than Heng Long. Instead of getting one of the Heng Long tanks, I'll be getting one of the Torro tanks. Whereas Heng Long uses a plastic lower chassis, Torro uses a metal lower. I also like the IR system they have, allowing up to 20 tanks to "battle" each other. The only 'down' side is the price...but, I think it'll be worth it. Eventually, I'll pick up a second, and my stepdad & I can 'battle' each other.

I have the tiger 1 and the first thing I did was toss the stock battery. I created a 2s 2p pack of 3000mah sony vtc6 lion cells. Both packs fit in the battery bay which gives total 6000mah capacity. Runs for over a hour easily and mine does have a low voltage cut off so the tank will stop when the battery is low. The wheel screws do back out from driving and they are way too small. I keep a wrench in my pocket and snug the nuts every so often. My tank came with both metal and plastic wheels and treads and honestly the plastic ones run better and are very tough. Dont be afraid to use them. The metal is very heavy but I beleive is overrated and not nesessary unless the price is right. I put an fpv system on the turret and its very fun to drive and shoot through fpv. For the price, these tanks are great fun and endlessly upgradable. Mine is 3yrs old and the smoker is dead, but other than that still works great. Cheers

One of the things that I would add here is to be careful just how much you're bashing up the tanks suspension when going up and down objects. As you can smash up the suspension on it. My Nephew's managed it twice already in a month. Although you can get replacement parts, sometimes, there is a point where a repair will turn into a complete new tank bottom half if you're not too careful. Yea I know that it's a tank but even the real thing will need the occasional bit of maintenance. Lol

@@RCReviewChannel the track's themselves did look a little loose on the tank to be honest. I kept expecting them to come off. There should be a track tightener on each side of the tank somewhere. If not then you might have to fit one. Or if it will allow it without becoming too short. Take one of the links out. This can be tricky though. As I've found that all of the tanks I've had. Have the links all connected up differently. With my panthers tracks I had to pull, with some thin nosed pliers, the pins out from either side but then with the Tigers I had bang out the pin from the side without the rough edge at the top. So yea. You can enter a whole world of grief with these things. Although they are fun once you get them going. If you do manage to mangle your suspension on the tank you can get replacement parts for it. Which is always helpful with these things.

It's a little faster than my tortoise. It can't really carry or tow anything. It just rolls around and shoots!

Yeah. Unrealistic when the tank itself moved back when the main Gun fires instead of the main gun barrel.

@@RCReviewChannel actually most buyers are tank RC hobbyists and we always disable that body recoil for its very unrealistic from their WW2 tanks to modern tanks.

The Tamiya tank is more advanced than that tank is. Tamiya tank has 360 degrees rotation, controllable elevation and depression of the gun, it has 0 degree elevation when the gun is is in -0 depression as the turret is rotating, it has a better turbine engine sound, it has black out drive lights, all the hatches open and close, the transmission is sealed and is powered by 540 motors (one motor for FWD&REV and the other for steering), access to the battery is quick and easy and you can run a lipo in it. and that is just some of the things off the top of my head.

The guy sticking up from the top of the turret is the tank commander and the recoil is wrong when firing from the side of the tank another thing the motor on the turret is to loud its much quieter in the real tank , you have two gun sounds one is the 50 cal on top of the turret and the other is the main gun with spent shell casing sound falling inside the turret .
