Problem with electronics and cables is the LEAST of problems as many of tankers replace it with third party electronics.
HL Panzer III - suspension is terrible, buy Taigen as it have proper torsion bars not awful springs.

Another vote for the component shop, he'll also do 2-pin extenders in heavier wire for the motors & power.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the PanTiger!

Ironically, the PanTiger is a good runner. It uses, after all, the Tigger hull!

I have a Heng Long T72 metal gearbox, wheels and tracks.......no issues yet
The Heng Long Tiger super pro version.......issues with the metal tracks
The Challenger 2 now hardly used at all, sits on a shelf in a cabinet.

Being incredibly lazy But knowing that sometime soon I shall have to take my Heng Long Abrams out of its box and give it a run are replacement "Extended" cables that match the plug and sockets of the Tank available so that I can spare myself the problems that DAI has faced and simply open up the Tank and swap over to the replacement longer cables ?
I just had a look at
www.rctank.de and Dom is selling extended 2 pin plug and socket cables for V6-0 Heng Long Boards @ Euro 1.95 and 3 pin @ Euro 6.10.

I use JST cable and plug assemblies from my local RC shop, as a club member I get discount.
