Dusty555 here saying a big thank you for allowing me to join your forum. I am just getting into 1/16 tanks, but have a few cars, boats, and aircraft, also plastic kits, I have been building since about early '60s and tried every kind of modeling i think,
I have aquired 2 HL tiger 1s, have only looked a 1 so far needs a lot of TLC

Dusty, Welcome to the Forum,
The first thing I would like you to do if you have not already done so is to scroll down to the "BLACKLIST" study the names and please avoid them, the names are there because we have already suffered the aggravation of being cheated, robbed and /or ripped off,
After that if you go to the RECOMMENDED VENDORS site you will meet a much nicer kind of person, we buy from these dealers because they are straight up and helpful,
If you have questions about all things R/C Tanking we have pretty much all the answers so please ASK and do not hold back thinking we have heard it before because of course we have, but the question is new to YOU. And if you know stuff don't keep it to yourself tell us please.
Enjoy the Forum, we do.
Shaun.

Cheers

Again, Welcome, Dusty!
Can I ask what parts you've ordered to upgrade your Heng Long? Also, the speed of that delivery from Tank Army certainly tops some I've had from Europe, or even routine stuff from Amazon.
