Hello all, new to the tank scene, Just picked up a Heng Long 1/16 tiger, early version i believe as it has no crystals, The tx says sender and has ABC on it.
Does anyone have a pointer to the manual please or could explain what the 3 buttons on the tx do (1 has ok ,3 has 123456) not got the foggiest what button 2 says.also the red switch under the hatch on the tank.

Does this tank have slow and fast or just one speed.

Thanks All

I don't have the manual, but...

The ABC are the frequency selection so "up to three can play". The switch under the hatch is to turn off the BB shooter (airsoft) but still retain the cannon sound and track recoil. Two of the buttons on the TX should be for machine gun fire sound (and possibly MG strobe light if equipped) the other for cannon (BB) shoot. The last button might be "start up/quit" once both power switches have been turned on.

As I recall on the HL some units required a turret control lever moved to one position while the cannon fire button is pushed. Those tanks I had with that system have been converted to newer systems YEARS ago. Hope that is some help to you.

And yes the speed control is an on/off affair the new stuff is light years ahead.

Hello and welcome, Ecam has summarized the different functions for you!! From memory, the operation of the two handles must be:
vertical right: AV / AR
Horizontal: Right / Left
Left sleeve:
Vertical.elevation of the barrel
horiontal.rotation turret.Then at the bottom I think as explained by Ecam, there must be: on the left, engine start, K ​​firing cannon, and G, machine gun, if shooting ball no flash, and small inter under cover Ecam has good memory, it's vintage, and indeed evolved a lot, since. The day and the night :haha:

8O Forget? for speed, and memory still? no slow speed, let's not forget that initially this was considered a toy

Is this version still on sale??? I thought this was already anachronistic and how vintage should be in a museum.

Hello, no longer for sale, too outdated, except perhaps on second-hand sales sites?? but it is quite easy, with some knowledge? to replace with a modern set in 2.4 Ghz nowadays. on the other hand it is necessary to rework the wiring, soldered on the plate, with mini sockets, see electronics post of the forum

HI, Pavel: I think I have a museum. I have at least two HengLong tanks with crystals and one of the goofy "programmable" ones from, what, twenty years ago? I leave them alone, believing that 1) examples will someday be interesting and 2) I have more newer projects than money. :haha:

Just recently I bought an additional kit for Iowa 1/200
It costs 300 bucks...

Pavel: In 2018 I went on the Amtrak train from Wisconsin to So. California (Los[t] Angeles). I toured the USS Iowa. To be sure, the massive size is impressive. But I was appalled by the ugly mess hall, looking worse the than the lunch hall in the high school I attended over a half-century ago. :sick:

Sorry, Pincher, we keep butting in on your thread. :{
