Heng Long 2.4Ghz latest versions differences
Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2016 9:37 am
I would like to gather info on the later Heng Long 2.4 Ghz variations, versions, make and model changes. Can someone supply the version numbers and help me clarify the differences for other beginners, both are out for sale at the mo as the latest 2.4 ghz systems and version numbers are not shown but one is vastly better in my opinion, being the latest of the two HL 2.4 Ghz versions.
I recently purchased the HL T34 with the 2.4Ghz system and a HL Sherman 2.4Ghz. Both came with recent 2.4 Ghz systems, but the later produced one has improved added functions. So there are two very similar recent 2.4 Ghz systems out at the moment which can be confusing. Here are the function differences, the later 2.4 Ghz version transmitter has a slightly different sticker on it with a different sticker design but both have the same layout of button positions and appearance and both are marketed as the latest 2.4 Ghz system, so easy to confuse as no version number change is shown or box art of the transmitter etc. Operation on later 2.4 Ghz is as follows; barrel up/down, separate control on the later version, up on stick for barrel up and down on stick for down, earlier version same as old TX 18 barrel on loop, up/down with stick down. Both systems have proportional turret traverse, so nicer than Tx 18. BB Fire, now you press K or fire button and push up left stick on later 2.4Ghz version, on other 2.4 ghz version, same as old TX18, up on left stick. Main difference, apart from improved barrel control, are the sounds, the later 2.4 Ghz version has far better proportional engine sound, I believe it also has two sound sets, so the mg, traverse sound can have two sound options. I have not yet worked out how to change over sound sets on this later controller, so can someone tell me which button combo you use to access second sound set? Both later 2.4Ghz tanks still come with old TX18 instructions, so, no info for the later 2.4 system transmitter operation from the box. Anyone know which recent HL tanks come with which version 2.4Ghz systems? Will the slightly older, less able HL 2.4Ghz system be phased out and replaced in production for all tanks with the newer better one or will they make both and sell both etc. All info appreciated on 2.4 Ghz version numbers etc, thanks guys.
