HL TIGER 1

Post by jeman »

Hi All !
This is my first Tank heng long tiger 1 as im new to this hobby. I got it this week from fleabay with asiatam metal hull, torsion bar suspension,metal tracks,metal gearboxes (with extra reduction gear), hand applied zimmerit, metal scale barrel fitted and with rx 18 mfu fitted..............and i paid £82 & think that a good result.......even the guy selling said ive got a bit of a bargain :) Works fine with speaker, but no smoke (i will be getting that) Im looking at adding more metal detail parts for it
So ive really got the bug now...........i want more add ons lol
Also does anyone know what colour this tank is ???
Cheers for now guys
Mark

nice tank bud, but i wouldnt worry too much about the smoke. i loved it for about 10 mins then realised that it is poopy. have a look at some of the home built smokers on the the forum, tons better. not sure what colour the tank is, but i like it. some subtle weatering and it'll be really good. jeff
only here for a good time, not a long time

Looks good but the ride height and rear idler look a little too high.

Thanks Buddy !
Ive just posted in the general section, so fingers crossed ! The more i look at it, the more i can see just how out the ride height is, so thanks for bringing it to my attention

It's worth remembering that ride height would depend on a lot of things: a full load of shells and gas, for instance - even worn suspension...
