Is there a easy way to tell if it’s a tamiya tank?
I also have at least two or three tanks that matorro I don’t think any after the split

This is not a Tamiya Tank!
It´s a old HengLong Tiger II.

I know this one is not a tamiya but I have 30 that I received and I am working on identifying them and I was wondering when I go through some more if there is a way I can identify that brand if I have any. Some of the tanks have no markings on them

This is most of the group of tanks I’m working through finding out about

As Jofaur indicated, above, if there is no access hatch for a battery in the base of the tank, it's almost certainly a Tamiya model. Generally, HL and Taigen models will also generally have brand names embossed in the base, as well as a battery access hatch.
Tamiya tanks also have no BB/Airsoft feature. Instead, they have a hi-intensity flash unit in the muzzle of the cannon.
If you can open the commander's and loader's hatches- assuming one or both will open, Airsoft tanks have a chute in the hatch for BBs (a portal in the base of the hatch). Any tank with one of these is NOT a Tamiya.

look on the bottom of your tanks most of them will have a brand name moulded or written on them what your looking for is heng long, matorro, mato, torro, taigen, 21st century, ultimate soldier, bandai, heng feng those that you cant find anything on post a picture of them and go from there.

As for tamiya identification metal hull metal suspension

Ok so I only think one of the tanks is a tamiya which was in one of my other post on here already I don’t think there where any other like that one

You are going to have a lot of fun trying to find out which radios go with which tanks...

5 king tigers 1 looks to be 1/18 scale
6 tiger 1's 4 look to be 1/18 scale
3 panther g's 2 look to be 1/18 scale
on the left of the white panther g is a heng long jagdpanther on the rightof the white panther g is a kv1 cant really see it so dont know the make on the right of the kv1 looks like 2 panzer iii or iv cant make them out as they blend in with the blanket on the right of them is possibly a stug iv cant see it to well on the right of that is your bandai hummel on its right is a matorro or torro sturmtiger on its right is a 1/18th bradley possibly forces of valor. Behind the sturmtiger is a heng long stug iii behind that is an abrams might be heng long or hobby engine. Driving into the side of the abrams looks to be a 1/18th panzer iv

Tankme I thought the same thing but 90% use the same style of chip I hope I can explain this but each controller has a chip with a frequency and all the tanks have a chip with the frequency marked so I have been able to use one controller for all the tanks I just have to insert the chip in the controller that corresponds with the tank I am very thank full that it was that easy
