RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi all

I popped this together today to just see all the pics of the new centurion from Haya.
It looks great, and has a hobby grade Radio too, by Clark!

Hope your all well

Bravo Mr Haya for another magnificent production
Be interesting to see how it prices up compared to the Big T's ..................

It certainly has my attention and just maybe my pocket book.
Any idea when the price will be released ?

Andrew wrote some time ago at HLPF.
The preorder price is 458.00 pounds.

That is a good looking tank, well done again

I don't need another tank. I really don't need another tank. Really, I don't need another tank. Hmm... Let's see, maybe out of January's budget...

Different video of the tank features:

Andrew is to be congratulated for his entrepreneurial verve. ...as well as the remarkable products he has been delivering lately, even though Hayaltd is but a small business. He's certainly not risk-averse.
The Centurion looks pretty damn good, and also has the potential to morph into several variants, according to the Youtube piece. I'm guessing it's an airsoft model, with the same IR gaming capability as the latest Heng Long models; but comes with a Clark board. I wonder whether barrel variations will affect the 'fighting format'; are they ALL BB- capable, for example, or do some offer only barrel recoil and smoke? That's not clear yet.

If I had the money, I'd probably spend it on heating- given that Winter is looming up here in the Highlands, and I wouldn't look great as a geriatric icicle; but, if I cash to fritter, I'd probably still go for the Tamiya. It has such clean lines, and small-scale engineering to savour.
Still, the Haya model is probably half the price, and looks like it could perform well. However, despite the inbuilt 'honeycomb' reinforcement in the hull floor- it appears the shell might flex more than I would like, (probably more than the Tamiya) and I find that slightly off-putting.

Personally I would just fill the honeycombs with resin...that is if I buy one. I'm sure I'll be slowing down on the tanks as my local club is losing our battlefield at the end of December.

I like that he has made it so adaptable, you can build nearly any vickers built version you want.
Does anyone know if he is selling the metal suspension, wheels or tyres separately? Id kill for some of these to put on my chieftain.
