What is involved in current production model 360 degrees turret rotation and barrel recoil modifications? I don't see any kits for these specific mods, however many sellers offer them. From what I understand factory plastic still has 320 rotation and no barrel recoil.

Hello
Originally on Heng Long Tanks,due to their design,the turret could not make a complete revolution.
1:so as not to cut the wires of the system,and the absence of 2/3 teeth on the rotation pinion,to this day rotary collectors are installed,which allow 360 ° ie several turns.For recoil,there are 2 types ?
The ball shot system ( called BB ) or with infra red,to fight,and the recoil and élévation system ( Asiatam )
Turret 360 °

In fact the first price model is the one with tir BB,chassis,tracks,plastic running gear,etc....if possible $$$prefer the infra red version

After 5(five!) years of thinking my heart is finally set on Taigen Tiger 1 metal edition kit with 360 deg.

I bought my Heng Long Tiger as a super pro version.
Metal tracks
Metal sprockets and rear idler
Metal wheels
Steel gearbox
Barrel recoil

Have a slip ring assembly to fit that I removed from my Challenger 2 when I upgraded it.
Just finished my crazy camouflage scheme
Other than that no other modifications
Basic price I paid for it was £250 plus postage
