I don’t know much about this tank I have a couple that have the same spring loaded battery hatch like this one

It's definitely a Tiger II (King Tiger). I believe it is probably an even older Heng Long. RX-13 control board generation maybe?

For sure it's old 27Mhz as sticker "C" indicates.

Matorro king tiger not many of those about keep that 1

absolutely
not complicated, to recognize? if the battery is accessible from below, it is not Tamiya, and given the age of certain parts, only HL, the telescopic antenna of the transmitter? only 27 Mhz, not to mention the yellow batteries (Nicd) obsolete to date

Thank you for all the replies and information this is one of the tanks I’m not that interested In keeping as for all the brands being said such as tamiya hang long and matorro is there a brand superior to the other or just personal preference?

Tamiya is the better brand better quality and accuracy , heng long more popular as a lot cheaper than tamiya, Matorro have split into torro and mato. Mato now make all metal tanks while torro is the same as taigen which you have in the u.s.

you can tell this king tiger is matorro as the square on the bottom of it has matorro moulded on it
The sturm tiger you have could also be matorro

except that Tamiya has not evolved, electronic level, to date compared to HL, Torro, Taigen, who understood that it was necessary to change the frozen electronics RX 13/18, etc by systems today, with more realism for functions and sounds. The HL is delivered ready to operate, the Tamiya is delivered as a kit to assemble.

What is a tell if it’s a tamiya?
Also I have a matorro I don’t think there are any that are torro or Mato
