If you turn your Tanks over the Heng Long Tanks have the company name on the base,
These tanks unless they have been modified to have the Taigen Quick release are held together by approx 7 screws,
The Taigen Tanks are usually fitted with the aforementioned quick release which is accessed by a lever under the rear mudflap on the left side (looking from the back) Pull the lever towards the back of the tank to open the tank, In the case of the Tiger 1 you will need to disconnect the Air cleaner black rubber pipes and swing up the plastic air cleaner pipe stubs that the pipes are attached to first.
When you open a Tank be careful because the main cable is very short and you may cause damage,
Extension cables are available as an upgrade and I recommend them.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Most of the tanks have a battery hatch some are screwed on or spring loaded.
There are a couple tanks that use to be static models that he wired up himself those may take a little patience to figure out how to open those

Hello Cshaffer,

I think your closest Forum neighbor is probably Jimster. He's in Southern Illinois just across the Mississippi River from Cape Girardeau, MO (or somewhere there about). I'm sure he'll chime in here shortly.

Cheers,
Eric.
