Hold on General I only just put the Battery on charge
Initial impressions based on the only other Heng Long Tiger 1 that I have bought as a RTR Tank as opposed to the Body and Turret to mount on a Taigen Metal Hull of which I have a number
The 27Mhz Tiger struck me as flimsy lightweight plastic and built with a Friday afternoon feeling whereas the 2.4 V6.0 is far more robust moulded out of an ABS type of plastic with a cupola that is fitted correctly from the off, of course the twin spare aerial stowage tubes are on the body (FOR NOW
),And I never expected the turret to be correctly located and I have not been disappointed
The first Tiger came with all the fixtures and fittings moulded on (Just like Taigens Tanks still do
) and this latest Tank comes with all the bits and pieces in a separate box which includes the USB Battery charger,
A great improvement on the original charger that got hot and lasted just a few hours longer than the smoker,
This being cheap it has plastic Wheels and idlers and sprockets as well as nylon tracks and moulded in place driver and radio operator hatches and an ABS hull,
Such shortcomings have already been addressed c/o Dave,
Once the battery is charged I shall check out the electrics to see if the much vaunted V6.0 board is really as good as everyone says if it is not I would like to give "Elmods" Fusion a try.
Later.
