the moment he pulls the cover of the turret out, it reminds me of HowToBasic video, LOL!
many years ago i put together a rc 1/16 king tiger kit. spent the time putting on a zimmermitt coating. as with the original king tiger the transmission was shit. it had two friction clutches that wore out very quickly. in another video i see they split the system with direct drive for each. suspension was a arduous task but, ran well with no problems. went together very well.
+below me yeah much better with two separate motors. They perform great
That was great! I really enjoyed all the history and talk about the full scale version of the King Tiger. Fascinating stuff and a very cool unboxing
I think I need one of these now! BTW, both turrets were made by Krupp, the one called the Porsche turret is the pre-production one and the one called the Henschel turret was the production version.
The "porsche turret" was made by krupp and was meant to be fitted onto the porsche's king tiger hull design but since it got rejected "again" the turrets where fitted onto the henschel hulls.
I enjoyed that. Especially the history bit. Thanks for sharing.
+Waiting // Outside excellent, glad you liked it and thanks for watching
This is s beautiful tank I’m going to get it I beatitude looks amazing in a outside RC track I’m glad it’s easy to use and fix thanks for the video
Nice review, enjoyed the video. Thank you!
Much appreciated brother
Awesome my ne t hen lomg purchase! Subscribed! Thanks George
Much appreciated bro 👍
My favourites are
1 King Tiger
2 Tiger 1
I loved this review! I really want one!
Mine too xD
Buy the 2.4ghz, the motors seem to run more realistic speed.
Best part of these models is to repaint and mod them.
As i have little patience these days for gluing lots of parts together.
Painting and weathering the best part.
Absolutely, I enjoy weathering. That's how I started this channel 👍
nice video mate! I can see all these tank reviews starting a new rc addiction for me 😂
Very nice ! Thanks
George
Thank you! Cheers!
!!!Tiger ll P is my biggest love ❤.
Definitely my favorite too
Great video mate, I love these tank reviews!
+yutubemaxter18 cheers, glad you liked it and thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks
No problem
Got mine back in October. I upgraded it with metal tracks and upgraded to metal gear boxes and more powerful motors.
When you have metal and plastic gears working together you mind as well just get an all metal gear box and motor assembly update because the metal gears on the motors will wear out the plastic gears very quickly.
Yeah, I know
Nice review! Those notches around the front plate represent the interlocking armour plate construction.
Thanks for the info!
Awesome Tank BEAST!!! Great Vid thanks :)
that's cool, sound effects are nice
+RC JOE the new ones sound even better
one of the things that makes this video so enjoyable is.. how much you actually know about these real tanks .. thanks for sharing.. thumbs up 🖒😎
+RcNickster thanks man, appreciate your comment and thanks for watching
Awesome tank!😀
I really like the King Tiger, but ill rather go with the Henschel Turret... c'us dont like that Big Porsche Turret
Yeah same. I made sure that I bought henschel turret instead although the ones with porsche turret are cheaper...
I ordered one of these, supposedly with most of the upgrades.49$? Was 99$. I can't wait to see what it really is.
Nice
How is it?
It's a tin punch out. No RC at all. Total bait and switch. Thanks for asking. I mean that. Wish is totally silent.
best in depth review ever! thanks! :D
+jake torrefiel much appreciated and thanks for watching
Nice vid Steve - Will we be seeing any of those weathering videos anytime soon? Are the upgraded versions available as well? MORE TANKS!!!!! :-)
Cool tank I love rc related things including tanks also I subscribed!
+Legendary Explorer Great, thanks :)
Also can you review the T-90 :)
Is it waterproof?
Cause I want 1 and drive it through mud and clean it like a car 🚘
No not really
You can water proof it
Looking on this RC tanks and for a budget side of things Heng Long ones are the way to go, tho I don't really know if I should go for IR ones or Airsoft ones, both seems great to play on. I guess I need to spend some time for each style to see what I like most. You said you will start paying more attention to paint job and you will do some weathering and some styling on it, did you made a video about it as I can't find it. Also you said you will make one for the jag...sorry if you made them but at this hour I just can't find them anymore. Also, why aren't you covering more tanks? You alone said that the channel is called RC Tanks & Trucks as you love tanks but all I see are some RC cars all the way and hardly some tanks around. Thanks for all the work you put into this videos, but it will be nice if you also say how reliable are the ones from Heng Long :)
years ago I found a tamiya henschel turret k.t. at a 2nd hand store at nib,never touched for 10 us dollars.built it n sold for 700 us dollars wich is still cheap.Bang prices are really good on these HLong tanks may get one or two.lol
Great review as usual! I do have one question when it comes to the cartoonish amount of recoil this tank (as well as the Tiger 1) has built in, is there a way to either get rid of it all together or at the very least lessen it so it doesn't look like the tank just let loose with an 88mm sneeze?
Im pretty sure on some newer heng long models is you can adjust the recoil
The plastic pellet fire, if it hit you close can even sting.
The pellets are so small and travel so fast you can hardly see them fly.
My living room rug is full of the yellow pellet.
My brother and I both have Heng LONg tanks.
dude 120 dollars for this seriously! too good to be true!
Keep your eyes open on ebay, sometimes for 180 they'll come with the upgraded metal gears and tracks.
My only gripe is the "Henschel" style turret is superior to the "porsche", and the camo job while decent just doesn't suit my fancy for the King
@Mark Novak They do though. I have multiple tanks that are Heng Longs, and honestly aside from the track recoil, I like them more than the Torros and Taigens I have. Heng Long has come a long way since they first released. The new 2.4 mk5 system is pretty danged nice too
@@panzerwolf494 hey man u obviously know this stuff haha, what brand could you recommend?
I'd like rc tiger in metal preferably, mount go pro on it and drive around the yard and woods.
What do you think of the ones that sell for ~100€ on ebay?
A remark about "weathering" a King Tiger. These beasts were in operaration for a very short time(very late in the war) and had a very limited mileage (fuel consumption ans fuel shortages). Most distance was traveled on railway cars. So they had no chance to get very weathered (time or mileage). My guess is that most of them wou;ld have looked "brandnew". In fact the right color might have been the "factory finish" yellow/beige base paint. There's a museum (I forget which one) that changed their King Tiger into the original factory finish yellow/beige base paint for that reason.
I have seen many photos of them pretty beat up and weathered. Also broken down 😉
@@RCTanksTrucks247 Most of these pictures might have been taken AFTER they were severely damaged, that means exploded and burned, so the protective coating had gone. If you leave unprotected steel out in winter weather for a short time, it will not look nice. You can try that on your car 😉. The germans by 1944/45 didn't have the film available to make many movies/pictures, so most available pictures/movies will be Allied pictures AFTER the destruction of the King Tigers. It's easy to spot if you see a "sagging suspension", thjat means the Tank had been lit on fire and the torsion bar steel was degraded.
Be fun to take it out snake hunting tank and snakebattle
👍
Nice! Hvala, bratko.
hey im wanting a rc 1/16 tank from Heng Long but can you do a comparison between all of the HL tanks so others and I can see all of them side by side.
If heng long sends me them then sure, no worries 😉
Not gonna burst your bubble here but that’s the Porsche turret. The Henschel turret is the king tiger turret
Yeah I know, two turrets were around at the time. The round style is the porsche and the square, imo much nicer is the Henschel
What about the do’s and don’ts ? Can it run in waters and mud ,sand? The charger plug is different in the USA. Can you get a usb cable to charge with? I want to get one, but a bit pricey. Can use a hot solider iron to make dents to give a battle look.
Nice tank!
+shenlonco thanks
The Porsche turret does look nice and lots of detail. shame it did not have the new control unit.
Im planning to take my turret off the heng long, merge it with a tamiya KT chassis.
That will be nice, I do not know why Tamiya changed from the Porsche turret in the 1st place.
ok thanks i was wanting to convert one to a Maus with my 3d printer and was wondering which would be the best tank to buy and convert, again thank you.
Not really the right size or shape.
Really enjoy your tank content! Just found your channel. But I notice not much tanks lately... Any particular reason you got out of tanks?
Much appreciated. I like all types of rc. Tanks are great but are also super expensive. I prefer tamiya and they cost a pretty penny here in Australia.
@@RCTanksTrucks247 Thnx for replying! Yah sure they're expensive but I mean you already had them...how much is a Tamiya tank vs a heng long?
RC Tanks & Trucks 24/7 i might know something you will like too, the 1/72 RC tiger1.. i dont remember the conpany wich builts them. But it’s a really cool tank!
Sherman Easy 8 is my favorite tank, Comment me yours my fellow viewers
+TheQuinn yeah that's a great tank
PanzVI kingtiger
Just received the King Tiger from Heng Long in China. Because of regulations no fluid was included for the smoke. First tank. Video very helpful. Question, what is the oil of fluid used for the smoke?
+william cherry not sure exactly but they are available on ebay
Thanks. I will keep looking.
Not sure where you are located but I usually order spare parts from either Imex or Mato
www.matomart.com/prodview.php?p=736
www.imex-model.com/product/TAG120096/TAIGEN-TORRO-SMOKE-FLUID.html?cid=90
I use Mega Steam Smoke for mine
www.forgebeartanks.com/store/p583/JT%27s_Mega_Steam_Smoke_Oil_%E2%80%93_Diesel_Power.html
Found the smoke fluid on-line but it was a ripoff. Three less then 1/2 full bottles for $45.00. It does work. Thanks for your help. Heng Long has many spare parts but takes forever to reach the East Coast.
Imex is located in the US so it shouldn't take too long, I know when I order from them it usually arrives here in Toronto within a week or week and a half. Mato is also located in the US and Canada as well.
Mine won’t switch on the light flashes but that’s it. Before this it was fine although drained the battery quickly any ideas?
What are the other options for the tank
Generally you can get metal tracks and drive wheels. Metal barrel and upgraded gearbox's. Other manufacturers like Taigen and Torro and interchangeable as well.
All smoke units come filled from the factory, they wil work out of the box !
Pay the extra $50 to get the upgrade profession version $230.
Standard clastic motor drive 170.
I have seen some sold for as much as $350.
Some larger tanks cell for $2000 to $3000.
Yes metal upgrade is good, but most will be happy with plastic.
will u do the kv 1 next??? nice vid keep up the good work plus do all the henglong kingtigers come with the 2.4ghz radio????
+Swagpanzer Ghosts on Blitz yep, currently that's on backorder so when it comes back in stock most definitely :)
I have a question. The velocity of those bbs in the tiger 2 are slower than an ordinary airsoft gun?
So when i want play this tank to out door, just remove the battery in to the body?
great job
+Johnny Chan much appreciated
Hello I like your videos you do a very good job with great info
Would you be interested in selling this king tiger version I am looking for one to buy with the Porsche turret
Not available, sold it
@@RCTanksTrucks247 dam I am looking for one with that turret
So, what does it take to make this one IR capable? Do we just plug in the IR receiver or do we need to purchase other items?
Hi. Does it have tension adjusters for the tracks?
Yeah from memory it does
the tiger 2 tank barrel can keep up with a shermin at full throtal and trout tern volocity of 365 dagres in 15 secnds my favret tanke ihad ne but my germinsheperd Destoed it!.
lol what?
Can u please do a heng long sherman tank review
What sort of oil is used for smoke
The lipo charger inclosed does not give a full battery charge to a 7.4 volt LIPO
A full charge to a 7.4 liPO should be 8.4 volts when fully charged.
The charger sent is a cell phone jack at 7.4 volts max. It also takes 8-10 hours charge time.
Suggest an I MAX battery charger. Search on e-bay or Amazon.com .
Great review! Does this model come in. a professional version with metal tracks? Thanks!
George
I believe so
@@RCTanksTrucks247
Thanks please include purchase links it would be helpful
Thanks!
George
Hi, how important is it to get metal tracks, gears, idler etc.. is it worth the extra $$$$?
Does anyone know the screw sizes for holding the top to the bottom
a friend of mine has one exactly like this, except it doesn't emits smoke from the oil deposit, are there any guides to change the resistance/heating element to make it work again? any help would be appreciated
It would probably cheaper to buy the complete unit, I have not changed one myself.
Do you know where to get a converter for the charger that fits North American outlets?
Sad thing about the king tiger is it was so heavy which made it so slow thats why they stopped producing them
Yeah and over engineered
I like the is3
Good review. Looks too much like a toy for my tastes. Wish it had a better paint job.
I have the exact same one
"Cool cat "
How many times do you have to run it in order for it to start producing smoke
Mine smoked from first start, must have been oil in from factory.
@@flybobbie1449 what mine I got they said it was brand new but I think someone returned a used one because my smoker never worked I had to buy two brand new ones
Hi, I got this tank to but I have the Henschel version and I weatherd it. And my camo isn’t the same
+PIXEL_PLAYER 1230 the henschel turret is my favorite
I have a far older model of this.. lets just say there are a lot of problems.. mine was made in 2013, June 27th.. Have the zinc gears, and well one side was riveted improperly, so the right track constantly jams and does not function very well...
it sucks that they dont offer this with the upgraded metal tracks and road wheels like you can get with the Tiger and most other of the Allied tanks. Some people buy these and then spend another $1000 on them to make them as realistic as possible. I'm looking for an infra red Tamiya grade battle tank to take part in comps and displays etc
I think the metal tracks come with pro version; of this model?
There's only one problem with the history part of this... It's not a Porsche turret... And I will explain why... All the turrets were made by Krupp... The curved facial play is considered a pre-production turret... Porsche or Henschel didn't design the turrets only the hulls.
Good video Steve!
Are the side skirts removable?
No, unfortunately not
Hello everybody. About a week I have Heng Long King Tiger tank 1/16. BUT The proportional forward and backward is not working properly. At slow speed left side is faster that right side. At full speed the tank is turn a little in the left side... is that a problem with receiver or transmitter? Tanks a lot.
Sounds like it just needs to be trimmed out properly.
@@Shortsircut1 the trimmed button on the transmitter is not change the speed at all.
The only other thing I can think of is possibly your ESC needs to be reprogrammed. I do not know what kind of ESC Heng Long uses of if a programming card is available for them.
You might want to check your rear idler wheels my right one was jammed and caused my tank to veer to the right so I had to loosen it a bit and now it runs straight and smooth
I want to get this tank but i want to ask is banggood safe cuz i have been reading mixed reviews about it!
the top machinegun is historical incorrect it must be a mg42 not the 34
They don't have the henschel turret do they?
Yeah they do. Harder to get tho
Yeah what if I told yall porsche had nothing to do with the turret and its a common misconception
I know this is an old video but do you have a clue if the Heng Long metal gearbox from the abrams will work in my king tiger it’s tranny just broke today
Nah I don't think so. They are specifically shaped to match the lower hull's
Dang it, thanks for answering though I’m having trouble finding a replacement gearbox
How much this tank?
Check out the link in the description
The upgrade version with steel gears tracks is on Amazon for 249$ is it worth it
Yeah that is not bad if it includes metal tracks too
5:04 Friendly fire on
Thank you ^^ AVI ☆☆☆☆☆ How Much?
Is this pro version?
Do they have the panther iv
yes, there are 1/16 RC panzer IV models, for example by henglong (base model) and Taigen (more expensive but better in every way, metal running gear etc.).
forces of valor also makes an extremely beautiful Panzer IV, but thats smaller at 1/24 scale
personally I'd recommand the Taigen tank, as its good scale and very high quality, yes its more expensive but, you'll be better off in the long run. Im sure there are more 1/16 rc panzers i forgot.. you should carefully research the tank you want.. before you decide to buy one
Anyone know if this can work with my 1/18 scale action figures
They would look a little small
Well, good for the allies that only 450 pieces were made.
+Dankwart Denkhardt yep, definitely
There was an upgunned and upmotorizised version planned to be invented in July 1945. Did you know that?
It’s 600 Euros now... i want it so bad
i would by instantly but im not sure if bang good is is sponsor or something
+Ethan Simpson no sponsor, they sent it to me for review. Heng long tanks are great value for money
I love the tank! and I am going to get it for Christmas! I just heard several people saying Bangoood is a scam so i will get it from Walmart instead.
love the tank but if i could afford one, which i cant, it would have to be the British Churchill tank i dont know why but ive always liked it.
+Mike Stewart nice and thanks for watching and commenting
you are welcome
Sorry mate! There aren't any British Rc tanks available on the web.
Except for the challenger 2.
You may be able to find a Tamiya kit, but that will cost a fortune.
bang belinya dimna?
The germans or nazis call Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B as The Bengal tiger which mean royal tiger in German. The American Force's called it the king tiger instead of the royal tiger
ugh it's porsche turret
Yeah ugly ay
The turret is an early production model, Porsche had nothing to do with the design of the turret then the later turret was designed because the early model was too complicated to produce
oh true
And the curved front is a shell trap.
will you be getting, or do you have a T-34-85?
+Maxwell Hatkow hopefully in the near future
I got a video of mine on my channel. I need to make some new vids.
which is bigger in rc king tiger or tiger 1
