Newbie checking in.

Post by Ferny »

Hi

I m new to this RC tank game, although I have had a Heng long tiger in the loft for years, and have only just found out how much potential for up grade they have!
I m fairly good scale modeller and mechanic by trade so i m looking forward to upgrading my tiger both mechanically and aesthetically and will be using this forum for inspiration and guidance!

so far i have flipped the mantlet over and chopped the gun in half!

Hallo Jon, It is good to have you with us, you speak of upgrades for your Tiger, If you go to the Heng Long site you will see some top quality builds and many of the more useful upgrades can be seen, there is much to be learnt viewing these excellent builds BUT first, in this world of 1/16 tanking we meet up with the dark side we call it the BLACKLIST, read it and you will probably know some of the names, these people are named because too many of us have been robbed, treated badly or just plain ripped off, please do not become another victim, there is a bright side and that is the RECOMMENDED dealers site where you will get help and a fair deal and if something should go wrong these good people will go out of there way to help. Please do ask lots of questions because we love showing off how smart we are, although if you could restrict them to matters Tank, we are not too good on smoked salmon recipes or plastering the bedroom, enjoy this place and think of this as charitable giving as you spend your hard earned with our dealers. shaun
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
