Hello and welcome to the forum Gordon :wave:

A Heng Long you say, with Taigen hull, top and turret, what's actually Heng Long :think:

Mind you, you've only done what a lot of us have done ourselves, upgraded the Heng Long so much we've ended up with two of them lol.

Enjoy the forum.

Hi Gordon Welcome to the Forum :thumbup: :wave: :clap:
My very first "R/C" Tank in the 60s was a Tamiya Panzer 111,
The box said r/c when in fact you built the Tank then soldered all the control wires in place then you fed the umbilical through the back of the Tank to a little pad with a few buttons,
You started it up then like taking the dog for a walk you wandered around until the "Torch" Battery's went flat. That very quickly became my first Shelf Queen :lolno:
Thank goodness for the Microchip and Digital Proportional Radio's :haha:
I am sure you will have lots of questions so please ask away.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
