"After being a Henglong customer for quite some time all i can say is, if you have a Henglong tank, Immediately start upgrading to metal parts if you plan to use it outside on rough terrain!

Their your best affordable entry level RC Tanks that do hold up if you upgrade them and take care of them."
I don’t know how it is for other people, but I have have had the heng long Sherman for over a year with no issues. These are surprisingly high quality. I definitely recommend them.
I bought one of these about nine years ago, my eldest son and I ran it relentlessly bashing hell out of it for the first few months, then just occasionally over the next two years until it got put into storage and forgotten about.....until seeing this video. We dug it out yesterday and put a new battery on as the original had died and hey presto, it still preforms perfectly, well it did until the transmitter gave up, it had been stored in an unheated outside shed so when I opened it up you could see where moisture had gotten into the PCB etc, the damage was quite considerable and I'm surprised it worked at all. As it happens it was the older version with a crystal which I see you can still buy on AliExpress for about £17 GBP so no worries! These are great fun and I would highly recommend to anyone, even better if you get two! Another great video, I really enjoy your presentations, good job👍😁
I have a Taigen Tiger 1 Late model and Yes, the tank has metal gears. Don't let that fool you though. They are coarse tooth, soft metal gears and are subject to shearing. I swapped the cheap 4-1 ratio gearboxes, for 5-1 ratio gearboxes with fine toothed hardened steel gears. The tank traverses much smoother and has more torque to actually use the tow cables without destroying the transmission.
How cool of your father, wanting a tank for his 91st birthday. I hope he will enjoy it and have fun with it for a long time. Nice video, thanks for sharing.
That's a bloomin' wicked tank you've got there Steve! 😀😃 This brings fond memories of playing with a cousin's rc tank years ago as a kid and driving into a doll's house! 😄
Hey ! You can attach a paintball gun in front of it with a servo and will be able to do the real job . I don't think it will fit in it . Just a little idea . Will be happy to see a build video
My friend has converted his with Co2 pistol parts- I don’t know the legalities of such things in different countries so care has to be taken in that regard but boy is his tank accurate at quite some distance 😃👍
She’s an absolute beaut - we have a pair of bb firing tanks and fpv battle all the time - it’s nice to have something that you can fpv share with folk who don’t/can’t fly 👍👍👍 Thanks for making and sharing legend 🤜🏻🤛 Nice to have the M1 sound- the M1 is something I’ve had the pleasure to be supported by and use the phone on the back of to talk to the crew, great memories of working with the USMC at 29 Palms ( I’m Brit ) 👍
bought the older version and beat it up, the front and rear lift lugs are delicate, and got smashed, as well as the rear lighting, otherwise it was good. Recently rebuilt it with all metal road wheels, Idlers and drive, tracks and suspension arms. It was a long going process, but it is way better. Next to zero slop in the suspension. Replaced the front lift lugs with heavy guage wire, and reinforced. Fun Build.
TANKS for the fun and whimsical video, Captain Drone :-) somehow was recommended to view this channel, and decided to subscribe. Kudos on the superb content.
Go Dad! And Captain, getting yourself shot by a tank is what I call really dedicated reviewing, lol!😂 Cool tank and excellent filming of the little beast in action.👌👍😎

The problem isn't that they are made from plastic - the problem is that none of the plastic wheels have bearings which means that they wear very quickly, and the general construction is very toy like. I would recommend Taigen/Torro over Heng Long, but even some of those are troublesome. The Taigen/Torro Tiger 1 is an excellent all round tank - I built one for my nephew who is 6, so that he can play with my dad in the garden (I built my dad a T-34/85) and he has been bashing it for well over a year and it has yet to come back to me for repair! I have a few Torro/Taigen tanks, and the Tiger 1 is the best by far. It has a stronger chassis than my other tanks and runs well on all terrain. I would highly recommend it.
That's brilliant there's a real one in a park in Florida down south, Thanks again from across the pond, I may buy one although it's got to be the tiger. Tony.
Need to dig out my old 80's Radio Shack RC tank- worked great but had a radio range of about 10 feet. Rubber treads probably dry rotted. This new one with metal treads seems awesome!
Have the Heng Long Panther, sounds amazing, majority of the body is metal as is the tracks, gears and barrel, fires BB pellets with recoil, quality of the build is just awesome, if you want a RC tank heng long is the way to go.
As always Steve, ya right there with ALL the detail and all the info us we your viewers require !.............was there much info on ya Dads tank ? Havent been around for a while.........TANK you Sir
Hello, nice review. I'm a collector of 1/16th tanks. In my honest opinion, I think the Bulldog is one of the best runners out the box from Heng Long. But sadly the least accurate in scale etc. What prompted me to comment, is those yellow BB's that come with the tanks. Please throw them out with the trash, then purchase polished and round 0.20g BB's from an airsoft supplier. Those yellow ones with the moulding ridge will either get stuck and/or damage the rubber seal on the BB mechanism.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 well, out of my 43 tanks lol, it has to be the Sherman, but that is purely because of all the different resin hulls and turrets etc on offer to change the basic Heng Long Sherman M1A3 into Fireflies, M10's, Jackson's etc, and with different smaller hatches etc, purely from a modelling perspective. Also there are some very good aftermarket control boards which can have custom sounds installed. The Heng Long having a plastic chassis makes life easier for modifications. Now, after saying that, there is a company called Taigen, which was just like Heng Long but more souped up. If you look at my channel, I have posted a video my grandson made of himself driving his Taigen Sherman M1A3 (76) at a model show here in England in 2019. That was supplied unpainted and without electronics. It has a complete metal chassis and transmission cover, metal bogies, wheels and tracks, also a metal turret, the only plastic is the top hull. So, you can imagine, even though it's smaller than the Bulldog, it is quite a bit heavier. It is also just an IR battler, which is Tamiya compatible, as that is the standard for UK clubs. When you compare the prices from Heng Long to Tamiya, for me, I find Taigen to be a lot of tank for the money. Although, Taigen electronics have fallen behind Heng Long at the moment. I will add, when it comes to these tanks, I would advise anyone who wants to buy one to join a tank forum first, or even just brows one first, and soak up as much advice as possible. I belong to a British forum, and we get lots of people joining with problems with their new tanks because they have purchased from bad suppliers, or a not so honest seller on eBay. Well, those are just my personal opinions and preferences.
Currently there is a 6 month waiting list For these tanks. I ordered one back and January still waiting. That's motion RC I own the hanglong king tiger unfortunately unfortunately the smoker unit went out after the 2nd time period not a big deal but they do run good get the upgraded battery and you'll get more run time With the upgraded metal units maybe 15 minutes tops7 Nicely done video thanks for sharing. The voice recognition on my Samsung 21 works like garbage like garbage
I think I have to get one of these. I prefer 1:10, but I haven't found anything in that scale. This is my favorite era of tanks--when I picture a tank in my mind, this is what I see.
Mine arrived day before yesterday ........great runner ......gonna fully charge the battery and hit the grass and dirt ........ also have a Torro Tiger I Late coming, metal tracks , three tone camo ........ hoping it's a beaut too 😁👍🇺🇸
Great video, thank you for sharing. I have had my Bulldog for about four years and I really like it. The plastic wheels fell off after 6 months of heavy use, so I replaced them with idlers (the idlers have brass bushes) and mounted them by cutting off the stub axles with a junior hacksaw, drilling out the suspension arm and then using the idler shouldered screws to affix them, now it will go anywhere!
After seeing your video I ordered the walker bulldog and I love it. I ordered 2 of the T-72 ERA metal version and have to say the T-72 ERA Tank has adjustable idle wheel to tension the tracks .I wish the bulldog had that option.
I have a bulldog and a panther IV I bought over 10 years ago. Plastic everything, gears and tracks. The metal parts were optional extras. Still going strong. The bulldog has more clearance. Love the main gun. The plastic bb's do sting. Haven't tried metal ones. Thinking about getting gels. Lots of fun!
When are you gonna have your dad back on? You need to fpv them tanks and do mock combat with your dad, at a safe distance of course. That's if hes up to it that was one of my favorite episodes when he flew fpv. Be safe cpt drone and Godspeed my brother.
I Love everything Military in the RC World. Never owned one because I was always thinking they are just plastic kids toys but this Tank is Awesome I never dreamed it was this detailed and built so well and at a very good price. I cannot wait on the reviews you got coming on RC Military. Looks like I’m going broke really quick😂😎 but I will be having fun🤩. Thanks Captain
Thanks for the great video captain drone!! I watch your channel almost everyday thank you for your knowledge p.s I didn’t get a sticker ☹️😤😫 I still love u tho
Nice review. They have one of those at the Buffalo, NY Navel museum. I had a tiger 2, but it always went too fast, and I crashed it into a wall, and after that it would always pull to the left. I like the slower speed. More realistic. Can you take it on a sandy beach without ruining it? Bangood calls it the Wacker Bulldog!
I got a German Tiger II recently. Love it, it’s awesome. Just ordered an M1A1 for my grandson. These things are really cool and really detailed. Definitely getting some more because they have so many different models. Mine has a recoil feature when it fires
I have the A1 Abrams large one that shoots Airsoft pellets. Yes they do hurt when you get hit. Mine set me back $200. The thing is Viscous. Frame is 2' with an 18" barrel. Decided to mount my Fat Shark camera on the turret so that I can get the best shot. Enjoy,
What you need is to 3D print Arnold Schwarzenegger or Silvester Stallone and put them in the tank! Boy would that make for an epic shot! Your videos rock my world! Thanks!
Normally, I couldn't care less about RC ground vehicles, but THIS is a TANK! So, I'm instantly fascinated. By the way, I've operated an M41 before -- in World of Tanks, though. Not for real. Unfortunately. Thanks for reviewing this!!! By the way, your video segment with the dramatic music and the tank patrolling was brilliant! I was smiling like a loon all the way through!
Cap so cool that RC is something good, Instead of the Thing That You get made fun of for! But you did it and RC helped make you not brake you! I Honestly Love Your Dad for That!!!!!!!
If there was a more rugged off road version with even more durable parts I’d totally get one. Looks super fun to drive around with such nice suspension and all
They are very upgradable. You can purchase full metal suspension components, metal tracks, road wheels, sprockets, upgrade the motors, and gearboxes. Or go full metal with the MATO brand options. Or go mental and spend over a grand on a Tamiya kit.
I have this tank and 14 others I guess you could say im a bit addicted to them. The track on the right hand side of your tank is on backwards, thats the track under the shovel and tools up front ,its a simple job to reverse it though.
If anyone lives in south florida/Orlando area there is group that meets in Tampa where people have created scale model buildings and trees that you can drive around in. The group is called tampa bay blitzkrieg. If you have the infared system hooked up you can battle with other tanks too.
Oh you're getting into a addictive hobby .I started off with Henglong and then I found Taigen tanks and they are awesome but for the money you can't beat Henglong. Taigen tanks are very detailed and optional for infrared with barrel recoil and a led flash unit in the barrel but cost a lot more money than Henglong.. Great video and you're going to get hooked on rc-tanks lol
I remember cruising the HobbyTron website ten or fifteen years ago always looking at these..... Never did buy one, but I do remember Heng Long was a supposedly fantastic manufacturer.
Dear Captain! Watching your vids makes me a poor man... OMG. Don't know how to tell my wife that there will be a tank inside the next Banggood-parcel. Anyway. Kind regards from Germany - Thomas.
Always cool to see you doing different types of content on the channel. you chose a nice uncommon tank in the bulldog, most of the ones i have seen are German tiger ones or modern era RC tanks. I am wondering if you have considered trying out the underwater drones? (perhaps they may be more Nelsons forte given he sails on a boat)
I bought this tank 7 years ago ... I bought it to pull cables .. And I installed a camera on it .. 7 years :-) ... The tank is good .. and I bought it for 800kr (Norwegian krone) but from Germany
Wonderful review. But it's a good thing I'm not 7 years old anymore...."Ma! Look! I know what I want for Christmas!" Hmmm. Wait. I'm not 7 anymore. Where's that link....? 👍👍
I got my girlfriend hooked on WORLD OF TANKS BLITZ by one of us driving and the other shooting...since were playin on my phone we had to snuggle so ya im a genius
Reminds me of last weeks episode of Combat! The Duel on METV. Featured this Bulldog tank painted with German markings but anyone who knows WW2 you know it was a USA tank made to look German.
I had the Tamiya King Tiger II back in the '90s ...had to build it over a period of months and it cost nearly 1,000 CAD. This has a few more features and is a third the price. Now you have to buy a Russian T34 or a Tiger for your dad and have a battle on your lawn.
I had no idea I wanted a RC tank until I watched this video.
Don not buy a heng long ......
I had 2, in the first run al 2 were broke 👎👎

I love the video. your dad will love this for his birthday present, wishing him a Happy Birthday.
I love the soundtrack, it matches the tank movement over the grass, perfectly🤣👍🏾
I have the Tiger 1. You can turn the lights off with the G button and forward on the left stick. Invest in the metal road wheels too.
Cool! How do you like the Tiger?

Thanks Captain
Love still continues for RC toys
OMG THAT IS THE COOLEST, I WANT ONE.
These RC tanks are a whole other hobby in of themself
Nice toy for the big boy! Tank you!
I'm sure it's fun when you have someone to play with that

Love these tanks got 3 a panther tiger 2 and tiger 1 love them all so much
I always watch your Drone reviews, but you do find other RC things that are AWESOME 👌❗Like this Tank , The Batmobile, and many others 👍 Fun Video 📹
Thanks 👍
Great review Captain! Wow 👏 thanks for sharing captain!
I really love to see you review this tank
I'm not into that kind of RC.. But I got to admit it's really cool
Thanks for the great video captain drone!! I watch your channel almost everyday thank you for your knowledge p.s I didn’t get a sticker ☹️😤😫 I still love u tho

Beach sand would have to be blown out after use. I think it would be OK.
I got a German Tiger II recently. Love it, it’s awesome. Just ordered an M1A1 for my grandson. These things are really cool and really detailed. Definitely getting some more because they have so many different models. Mine has a recoil feature when it fires
Very cool!
You should upload some videos on them!
That is so cool you should get the RC excavator to . that’s really fun when you put FPV on either that or the tank , it’s a 💥 blast !
God bless
Awesome Tank Video!! Thank you!!
and of course your style Captain Drone Sir
I own one and also love it... actually I have 6 rc tanks... been collecting as time goes on... thank you for sharing
Which is your favorite RC tank?
Nice video i liked it
Captain I totally dig the tank choice as the walker bulldog is one of my favorite tanks....
I have the A1 Abrams large one that shoots Airsoft pellets. Yes they do hurt when you get hit.
Mine set me back $200. The thing is Viscous. Frame is 2' with an 18" barrel. Decided to mount my Fat Shark camera on the turret so that I can get the best shot. Enjoy,
Rad Tank! I just started looking at them, might go with the JJRC 1:30 scale for budget and size using it indoors. Thanks for showing!
@10:53 ish, love the footage crawling over the pavers!
Awesome we got our Little Bulldog last week, great Tank Great Video Cheers
Nice 👍
All you need is a helmet and a army shirt.
I may just have those :-)
What you need is to 3D print Arnold Schwarzenegger or Silvester Stallone and put them in the tank! Boy would that make for an epic shot! Your videos rock my world! Thanks!
Normally, I couldn't care less about RC ground vehicles, but THIS is a TANK! So, I'm instantly fascinated. By the way, I've operated an M41 before -- in World of Tanks, though. Not for real. Unfortunately. Thanks for reviewing this!!!
By the way, your video segment with the dramatic music and the tank patrolling was brilliant! I was smiling like a loon all the way through!
Thank you!
Cap so cool that RC is something good, Instead of the Thing That You get made fun of for! But you did it and RC helped make you not brake you! I Honestly Love Your Dad for That!!!!!!!
If there was a more rugged off road version with even more durable parts I’d totally get one. Looks super fun to drive around with such nice suspension and all
They are very upgradable. You can purchase full metal suspension components, metal tracks, road wheels, sprockets, upgrade the motors, and gearboxes. Or go full metal with the MATO brand options. Or go mental and spend over a grand on a Tamiya kit.
That is just too cool. Nice and detailed.
I have the same tank. My buddies and me have tank battles. Very fun.
I have this tank and 14 others I guess you could say im a bit addicted to them. The track on the right hand side of your tank is on backwards, thats the track under the shovel and tools up front ,its a simple job to reverse it though.
That is how it arrived out of the box (silly quality control).
If anyone lives in south florida/Orlando area there is group that meets in Tampa where people have created scale model buildings and trees that you can drive around in. The group is called tampa bay blitzkrieg. If you have the infared system hooked up you can battle with other tanks too.
Oh you're getting into a addictive hobby .I started off with Henglong and then I found Taigen tanks and they are awesome but for the money you can't beat Henglong. Taigen tanks are very detailed and optional for infrared with barrel recoil and a led flash unit in the barrel but cost a lot more money than Henglong.. Great video and you're going to get hooked on rc-tanks lol
Next on Captain Drone we will see kamikaze fpv drones taking out tanks in one glorious fireball of Facebook fun!
WOW, It looks great, Keep up the great work
Great review..........as usual 👍👍👍👍. In Canada you have to get it in the China warehouse.
I remember cruising the HobbyTron website ten or fifteen years ago always looking at these.....
Never did buy one, but I do remember Heng Long was a supposedly fantastic manufacturer.
Dear Captain! Watching your vids makes me a poor man... OMG.
Don't know how to tell my wife that there will be a tank inside the next Banggood-parcel.
Anyway.
Kind regards from Germany

Nice tank Captain Drone
Always cool to see you doing different types of content on the channel.
you chose a nice uncommon tank in the bulldog, most of the ones i have seen are German tiger ones or modern era RC tanks.
I am wondering if you have considered trying out the underwater drones?
(perhaps they may be more Nelsons forte given he sails on a boat)
6:49 You have alerted the BullDog
Omg ....... I want one now .....😂😂😂😂 brilliant review it’s just awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I bought this tank 7 years ago ... I bought it to pull cables .. And I installed a camera on it .. 7 years :-) ... The tank is good .. and I bought it for 800kr (Norwegian krone) but from Germany
I think Tokyo Marui use to make an RC tank that shoots 6mm plastic BBs. Fairly hard to find though, but very cool idea.
Wonderful review. But it's a good thing I'm not 7 years old anymore...."Ma! Look! I know what I want for Christmas!" Hmmm. Wait. I'm not 7 anymore. Where's that link....? 👍👍
That’s awesome,, I love how you cover all things RC 👍 great job Capt’n
Thanks 👍
When that tank has 2 fpv options (driver and gunner) it will be perfect
I got my girlfriend hooked on WORLD OF TANKS BLITZ by one of us driving and the other shooting...since were playin on my phone we had to snuggle so ya im a genius
Such enthusiasm
Amazing!!! Very impressive! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Reminds me of last weeks episode of Combat! The Duel on METV. Featured this Bulldog tank painted with German markings but anyone who knows WW2 you know it was a USA tank made to look German.
Fantastic Steve. My first tank was a tiger, I repainted it to add some scale, was great fun but it’s a hobby for the slow coaches lol
Very cool!
now i want one so much (even though I've needed it)
Great tank
Much better than drones. Thanks 👍
I had the Tamiya King Tiger II back in the '90s ...had to build it over a period of months and it cost nearly 1,000 CAD. This has a few more features and is a third the price. Now you have to buy a Russian T34 or a Tiger for your dad and have a battle on your lawn.
