Newbie help

Post by IanHill »

Hello all. New to RC tanks but always had a love affair with tanks. I would like what I watched on YouTube. See bellow.

So I watched a YouTube video of a 1/16 scale tiger 1 With camo and designated S33. It had a revised controller with better sound and gun control. Is this still a current model or now updated.

Thanks

Hi ian, and welcome to the forum.

Can you share the link to this YouTube video you watched, then we may work out exactly what it has inside, or better still, we may know the owner to share their secrets ;)

I love this camp scheme on a tiger 1. But think it’s a version6 so old.

Well, it is a heng long with the Tk7 board. Which appears to be widely on sale with that camo pattern within the States, but not in Britain that I have found yet.

Many thanks. It’s a shame not available in the UK. I think it looks great in that camo. Will keep an open mind.

Thanks again. I also have a king tiger on my list. 👍

Just because I didn't spot then on sale in the UK, doesn't mean they aren't, I only had a quick look and I am a bit old and senile....

Motion RC Eu, are showing them as out of stock, but are quite good at getting stock if requested. You may have to add taxes on. Beware of the offer of free shipping. You may be all right in that there London village, but they charge up to our bit of the UK.
