Heng Long King Tiger

Post by Rattlesnake road »

Bit the bullet and bought a brand new KIng Tiger and found issues with it already.

1 The road wheel hubs do not fit snugly but are very loose and will probably fall out when in use, scary for using outdoors on Dartmoor.
2 The air soft was extremely funny as when it fired one bb came out but the distance was negligible at about 2 feet the remaining 9 just dropped out of the barrel.
3 The exhaust pipes are cracked at the bend towards the end, may try some copper pipe to replace it.

I have to guess at what else I will eventually find.

I must admit, I'm not a fan of the Heng Long King Tiger, quite a few things wrong with them because of build quality :thumbdown:
Talking of builds, you can't start a build thread without some before pictures ;)

I do agree that, if it's not too late, some "before" pictures are always fun to see before you wizards go to work. Then, too, I would be tempted to let the "air soft" remain so hilarious. What a hoot, a "kaboom" sound just as the BB drops straight down out of the barrel. :haha: But before long the BBs would probably just jam up.
