Brought my first rc tank and Google has failed me so cone to beg some info of you lot.
Prior details: tank is a heng long bulldog and my theme is Not SCALE (post apocalyptic so think mad max and tank girl)
1. Can I put any heng long tracks in any heng long.... Basically I want metal with rubber pads seen some for other tanks just not the bulldog

2. What 380 motors can I solder up to rx to give me a lil more top speed

3. Any easy ways I could rig up my dx8 g2 controller for it as seems silly me having tx for heli and one for tank plus any future rc's can be added to it and 8ch to play with, I have seen the clark boards but if there's other ways.....

4. I have the metal g.box but even with some lithium grease it's a noisy bloody thing so any way I can quieten her down a bit?

Thanks in advance

1) You can only put bull dog tracks in a bull dog tank. Unless you make big modifications to your tank.

2) You can install 480 motors. Look for the red motors on tank army, those are fast as hell. Some boards dont support them.

3) If your bulldog works with the old board with christals, you can put an adaptor for using your spectrum radio. If your tank board is one of those "fake" 2.4ghz boards, then you need another hobby grade board.

4) If noise is really a concern, install cheap nylon gears. The cheap pot metal are noisy, and the brass a bit more,and the steel ones will make you deaf in no time.

Your Lordship Before we start answering your questions we have a custom and it goes like this.
You go to the "Introduce yourself" Site of the Forum and you tell us a little about yourself and we say Hi and how are you AND THEN you tell us your problems.
Shaun,
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Sorry see posts like that as spam and wasted mb's, I'm straight to the point
Very disappointing that you see common courtesy and politeness as spam and a waste of megabytes. We are a friendly forum and have become and remain that way by following a few simple procedures, politeness being one of them.

What a impolite guy! Not only he does not say not even hello, (Ok, it can happen, I can understand it, you are focused in your tank and you just forget it) that even when we request him to do it, he refuses and he even does not say thanks after helping him. I wasted my time helping a guy that does not deserve not even 20 seconds.

Im happy to see that the mods kicked him away from here.

Yip, that one really got up my nose.
I hope he finds solace in a place that feels that kind of thing is normal.
