Congrats, looks like you got a good deal! It's the pro version, so it has the steel gears.

Good score, but there won’t be any recoil on it unless it’s an IR version.
If it is, the recoil action will work backwards
Slow back-fast return but that’s liveable.
Be great to see what you do with it

That's a video the guy included in his eBay advert. It's a BB tank too as it has BBs supplied.
I was surprised to see the recoil.
Will be able to confirm more once I receive it and I will make a separate post about the tank and probably start a build thread for future modifications!

It move quick and the turret rotates fast. Is that standard for 6.0s edition, or is he running it with an upgraded battery?

There are Heng long 27mhz tanks for £200+!

Thats a problem I've been having. Wanted to get a cheap tank for my 4 y/o to use in the garden, but all on eBay have been going for over £100, and most on FB marketplace are overpriced! I have managed to find a HL Pershing with old 27MHz control for £40, which is about as much as I'd want to spend when I know i
he's just going to break bits. No point buying new, or a nicely detailed one for him to drive around and crash.

You do not have to confine yourself to 1/16,
Heng Long sell in 1/24, a neighbour's son would come by asking for help fixing his pz4 , it was usually a slipped plastic track, easy fix although I think he just wanted an excuse to see my Tigers :haha:
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
