RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi from Devon. Bought my son a Heng Long Sherman for Christmas and now a colleague has given us a Heng Long Tiger 1. The Tiger 1 is a non runner. I know very little about these models so looking for advice. Should I ask questions in a different forum? We have admired these models at Tankfest for a number of years but really impressed with the Sherman so far!

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. The best tank is a free tank! Pop some pics of the Tiger and the controller it uses in a new post and it'll be a runner in short order I'll bet. Or at least you'll be on your way to it being a runner. The HL Tiger can be a bit of a swine to open up (remove tracks to get at a couple of screws), so many broke down--like tanks do--and never got repaired, or got a bit bashed up trying to be repaired. Help is here for you!

Mike.

Thanks Mike. I have posted in a new thread, apparently there are some crystals missing.

Welcome to the forum from New York.

I'm confident you will find answers to your queries from this knowledgeable motley group.

As you try to get the Tiger going, how is the Sherman running? You do have a bit of authenticity, for Shermans, though outgunned, ran much more reliably than Tigers. In fact, when a Sherman met a Tiger, it’s best, slim chance was to run—away. (The new battery you bought will work in the Sherman, too, as you likely have already figured out.)

Hello and welcome to the forum from the West of Scotland.

Welcome from south jersey.

Can you post a picture of your son's HL Sherman?

I have 1 also.

We'll compare.
