Heng Long Pershing (Movement improvements)

Post by TheNewGuy96 »

Hey, its my second post here on this website

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what I could mess with internally to make a heng long pershing tank easier to crawl and move slower. I really have to be very gentle on the controls for the crawl, otherwise it shoots across the room. I don't mind that it's fast, I just want it to be a little slower, more proportional, and able to crawl. Does anyone know of any replacement motors or things I could change internally to make this happen?

I appreciate any feedback. Thanks

You could try slower motors but you will loose your speed, the newer generation 6.0 boards are said to be more proportional but to get the full proportional speed you would be better served with an aftermarket board such as Clark’s/Ibu/ elmod
It’s your tank it’s what you make it

Hello :D
To have realistic driving ? Only one solution,change the existing electronics as well as the radio, but this hat a cost :{ look the electronics section of this forum, Elmod,Ibu,Clark
Changing motors while keeping the electronics ( HL origine) will not change anything :wtf:

I'm thinking I'll go with an ELMOD circuit board:

I really just want a slower more crawly tank, this might seem a little weird to ask, but is there a way to have the tank barrel recoil, while keeping the airsoft unit in tact? (It is a Heng Long Pershing M26 tank)

I appreciate the feedback!

Hello, :D
Nos it is not possible to have the recoil :eh: by keeping the airsoft.To have the recoil it is necessary to opt for an Asiatam system,but in this case more shooting balls

On the other hand,the plastic barrel must be replaced by an aluminium one,plus some other parts,for the speed,there practically no some progressive variation,and it nécéssary to have a light finger on the joystick,to have a suitable result

Henglong's MFUs ver 6.0 and beyond will give you almost perfect drivability. Their new steel gearbox is good too. Upgrading is simple and relatively low cost.

This is the circuit board in the Heng Long Pershing tank that I have

http://www.rc-panzer-shop.de/Rx-18-Circ ... -Heng-Long

Is the Heng Long Tank 6.0 better than this one? ^

Again I'm very new to this hobby, and I appreciate any constructive feedback! :)

Hello :D
Is the basic electronics,for an average price,there is the TK 40 from Clark,if not Ibu or Elmod,but the price is not the sameband it is necessary to envisage a programming by PC :thumbup:
