What would realy put the cat among the pigeons is for heng long to improve there sound and to make them in kit form until these two things are done tamiya will always sell tanks look at the Tiger 1 they are still selling even though hl have had it out for 5 years.

True Stevie but i wonder if the H/long panther and jagdpanther have knocked sales of the tamiya variants i guess its a case of funds and what you expect out of the final product

Hi Guys what would realy put the wind up Tamiya ,would be making the battle system Tamiya compatable and better sounds,then the sales of Heng long would go through the roof.
A basic Tank with Tamiya compatable battle system if they keep it to a similar price as the Panther 125 quid for one with metal tracks ,this means you could have 4 Heng long tanks for the price of one Tamiya.
It would in my opinion be the boost the hobby needs every one could afford a battle ready tank,then there would be more people wanting to meet and battle there tank/s.

Maybe someone should point this out to Heng Long

the king tiger will be as a kit and also rtr ....

still no price ...but arount £100 for there rtr .. kit about also about £90

tools are seperate ... no plans for metal hull ..

and how about tamiya makeing there battle system Hl compatable

Why should they there the one who started the battle system so HL should make one that is compatable with there's Dave did with the DBU so HL should to .

already done pete maybe if enough people ask you never now we might get that

agree with you jimmy tamiya were the first and most clubs set the tamiya system as the guidelines for battling but im sure H/long are on the case though

Just one question on this latest offering from HL is it being designed for Mattdragon ? I seem to remember his unbounded joy at the last pink King Tiger he got lol.
