Hi Common with all models of Heng Long the speaker isnt very good the sound does improve a little if you put a better speaker in .

Hello Pete,

Well I thought that, and my other tanks are at least 50% louder, could it be the volume switch wiering?

Try a 1 ohm speaker, they are often in old CD Radio's and things, and fit a 22kb potentiometer from Maplins (less than a £1) to replace the tacky Heng Long volume control. You will get better sound that way.

Maybe the exhaust has a hole in on your Tiger ? Simple answers are always the best . . . . . . :D

Sorry I was being sarcastic (I know, its the lowest form of wit . . ) Meant like in real life, when an exhaust gets a hole in it makes more noise ! :haha:

Same here with mind slowing and old age creaping up ! My Jagd and Tiger about the same, Jagd speaker not under the grille though so may account for any slight difference. :D
