Are Heng Long tanks *meant* to be serviceable?

Post by TankOCD »

I was wondering. I see everyone on here doing great work. Do these tanks come apart as say, a hobby grade RC does? Or is it not designed to be fixed/modded?

Thanks!

One more quick question. I want to buy the HL King Tiger with IR. Would that be compatible with the Tamiya IR systems? Thanks!

look around this site.....

http://rctankwars.com/

watch the vids ect

the guy that runs it is named phil, he will build you what ever you can aford or sell you what ever you need...every tank that he sells is tested before it shipped.

My advice.....read through a couple fourms, decide what you want, make a plan, figure out your budget.....do as much work as you feel ok with....search youtube and watch some rc tank battles.....spend some time learing before you light up the card....jmo
