Hi there I happened to get one of these many years ago. I still have it and it's been a very fun tank. I learned a lot working on it with the multitude of replacement parts and upgrades it's just right to start with. I think I've rebuilt my original Heng Long Tiger I about four times.
Tanks alot.... :wave:

If you're in the United States I would say to call Erik at IMEX for those bearing covers but if not try heng long's store at AliExpress.

That tiger one was also my first tank.
