Spending that sort of money isn't an option unfortunately.jarndice wrote:An alternative to the Heng Long RX18 is Taigens V3 Control board which is the same size as the RX18 but offers more options including a sound module,
It is fully digital and unlike the RX18 it can be used with an aftermarket transmitter as well as Taigens own Transmitter,
About £ 70/£80 for a full kit from http://www.forgebeartanks.com or http://www.rctank.de
Both are reputable dealers and very helpful.

Howes can't help, nothing available.
Anyone on here upgraded and want to sell their old bits?

Re: Heng Long Tiger 1 non runner
So, just coming back to this - I need a Heng Long 27MHz RX18 MFU and wiring kit + 27MHz receiver board + 27MHz tranmitter - is that right? Any pointers on where to get for not much money!

Re: Heng Long Tiger 1 non runner
May l recommend you use your old nonworking Tiger1 as a target and purchase the very latest version 6 Henglong Tiger 1 off eBay from a UK seller for under £90 with free delivery. FAR better model. FAR better value. Just add 6 aa batteries and you are away, trouble free with all the latest features. You know it makes sense!

If you go back to Andy's first post, you will see why he is following the path that he is. It's not his tankGeneral Jumbo01 wrote:May l recommend you use your old nonworking Tiger1 as a target and purchase the very latest version 6 Henglong Tiger 1 off eBay from a UK seller for under £90 with free delivery.

Re: Heng Long Tiger 1 non runner
Well that's an idea, certainly. However I'm a lifetime 'fixer' and just enjoy bringing non-working things back to life, and learning stuff along the way.General Jumbo01 wrote:May l recommend you use your old nonworking Tiger1 as a target and purchase the very latest version 6 Henglong Tiger 1 of eBay from a UK seller for under £90 with free delivery.

Re: Heng Long Tiger 1 non runner
I know. He should do his freind a favour and explain the meaning of the phrase 'false economy'. It will still make a reasonable static model.
Edit:. Andy, it's so old and crude by modern standards, is it really worth your efforts? If you mate likes the idea of owning a RC tank then grab one while there is still stock in the country, they appear to have come back in last weekend. Of course, that's just my opinion.

Re: Heng Long Tiger 1 non runner
I think if Andy's pal buys a new Tiger 1 for £90+ and finds out the attractions of RC Tanking are not what we say they are he is going to be out of pocket to the tune of £90+ and just maybe no longer Andy's pal
Whereas if Andy 's plea for someone with an unwanted Serviceable RX18, a compatible Transmitter and the necessary wiring comes forward wanting just the cost of the postage we then have a happy Andy and if his friend likes RC Tanking we all know what happens next,
Shares in Heng Long/Taigen/Tamiya increase exponentially
By the way Andy does the Secondary Board (Daughter Board) attached to the tank body have all the cables soldered in place or is the centre lower 3 pin a plug and is the upper 8pin soldered in place or a plug?
And are you ok with a soldering iron because a little soldering will be needed when rewiring the headlights the hull mg and the Turret rotation motor to the daughter board.
