Radio Controlled 1/16 Heng Long Tiger I Tank SS-Pz.Kp.LAH. Kursk 1943 Video

My Heng Long 1/16 Tiger I Tank: Tiger, SS-Pz.Kp.LAH. Kursk 1943

I made this tank and video for the fun of it.

Metal tracks, sprockets, idlers, suspension and other features. The smoke mines are made from copper tube and plastic sheet. The tools are also made from plastic sheet laminated and super glued to get the shape, handles are made from cocktail sticks. Corrected cupola, pistol port and gun mantel orientation etc and loads of other details. Fitted with a DBC-RC2HL momentum PCB.

Hi,

Metal tracks look , sound and feel more realistic. I use them so that the treads ware to a shiny surface (just like the real thing), it also makes my tank very heavy. Plastic ones will not do that. I would stick to the plastic tracks if they seem to run OK for you. I have Kenny Kong tracks on my Tamiya and this has lead to me having to upgrade everything else to handle them. Thay do seem pretty cool though.

Regards, Chris

Hi, the Tamiya has a flash simulator and a recoil unit. This makes for a very realistic firing simulation. The Heng Long is the only tank with a BB gun, but this may not be as robust as most people would like.

The Tamiya can be fitted with an IR battle system to allow tanks to fight each other. Cool!

I hope this help,

Regards,

Chris

Hi I have the full electronics from a tamiya tiger. Do you think it would work in this tank?

[ChristopherSColes]

Hi,

I think you could make the electronics work with bit of fiddling about. However, you may be able to pick up the Static Tamiya Tiger kit for about £100 with a bit of searching about on e-bay etc. Now that may also be a good option.

Regards,

Chris

Hi mate,

I've just bought my 1st Heng Long 1 16 scale tank with all metal upgrades & looks just like yours!.. & was wondering if you know of any sound upgrades i can get for it?

[ChristopherSColes]

Hi, there is a sound upgrade you can do, its provided by El-mod (do a Google). There is a cool video of modification in action on YouTube somewhere. It very expensive though. But it could be worth it

Whats the differnce beetween Plastic and Metal tracks. I know metal tracks are better but I would like to know how much better they are then normal plastic ones and if plastic tracks can handel what a metal track can do. Thanks

@ chingersfriend i would not count on ALL the electronics fitting but the recoil units and the ir system should work but i wouldnt take the risk depending on how much of it u want to convert

@ChristopherSColes how load is the tank when moving

[MrBazzat11]

@ChristopherSColes I have the battle system in my Tiger1, also in my Leopard2 A6... If you can find other owners with full option tanks you can have battles with them. I did go to one or two UK Tank meets & they have 1/16th tanks, as well as 1/4th & 1/6th scale monsters, they are the real deal.

@fred5225 No, it has a flash unit in the muzzle brake
