Heng Long upgrades

Post by FallenHero »

Hello I am upgrading my M1A2 Abrams and am wondering where to source things. I need metal gearboxes, wheels and drive sprockets, an upgrade board such as the TK-22, and turret mods such as elevation, barrel recoil and upgraded turret speed. I was also wondering how to make the turret elevation correspond with the controller up/down movement instead of cycling through and getting rid of the track recoil. I don't care about smoking effects or Airsoft or IR battle. Thanks!

First welcome to RC Tank Warfare! You will find lots of helpful folks here.

I am building an M1A1 HA using the HL M1A2 as a basis. I purchased most of my running gear upgrades from Tank Army, no problems, fast shipping.

Here is my in progress build on the M1A1 HA.

I get 98% of my hardware from Tankarmy, never any problems.
Sure, I'm in Australia, but these guys are really on the ball.
Also, Ozarmour have equally good service but a smaller product range.

TankArmy is good for parts. OzArmour carries Clark boards. Both of them are from Downunder and they will ship world wide.

I buy most of my stuff from tank army too, the prices are good but the shipping is expensive. I live in austria and they always send from china.
My RC tanks website, loads of free info for everybody:
