Just purchased the Pro. Ive wanted a tank for like 5 years but never really had the disposable income for it. Decided to buy this one as its so beautiful. I LOVE soviet tank design, just something about the proportions is amazing to me.
Great to hear!
@@MotionRCis it true the hull splits with the metal tracks (silver tracks)
@@ballz3861 I'm sure it has, but pretty rare. I think you would be trying to bash too much for that to happen. It's a tank not a bashing rc car.
Is there a T-90A of the same quality made by this or a similar company? I'd really like an RC tank, I have a few model kit tanks and a cheapo plastic Leopard 2A6 RC tank but I want a really nice one, preferably of a modern Russian tank.
Yeah its like the ak 47. BAD BOYS CHOISE;)
Очень круто , что можно приклеить символику не только СССР, но и Чехословакии, и ГДР.
I just got one a week ago. My only criticism is it's really easy to dislodge the tracks from the drive sprockets. All that's needed is a small piece of gravel or stick to get caught between the track and the sprocket, and the track will dislodge and sit on top of the sprocket teeth. The tank will still run (I don't even notice sometimes) but the sprockets can slip since the teeth no longer engage with the tracks. There are some guide disks near the center of the sprocket which help keep the track centered. However, they also prevent the track from re-seating itself. Re-seating the tracks is done by pushing on one of the road wheels to cause some slack, then the track can be forced back.
need to upgrade the track from plastic to metal, and if you can spend some, you can upgrade a bearing for the gearbox
@@firelordazula386 I 3D printed a plastic collar that goes inside the drive sprocket. It keeps the alignment teeth from falling outside the guide disks, so the tracks reseat themselves.
@@GymbalLockIs this heng long worth buying? I have doubts about the spare parts. It seems difficult to find if something happens..
@@jitihuN21 I've bought several spare parts through Amazon: The plastic gearbox lasted less than a year before a tooth got chipped off, so I ordered a steel gearbox. A suspension spring broke, and some of the suspension arms are getting severe wear, so I've ordered new springs and new suspension arms. The Heng Longs have a bunch of "upgrades" hoping you'll buy the cheaper tank (like I did) and then spend more money when it wears out (which I'm now doing). It's better to spend the extra money on a tank that includes the metal wheels (which have bearings to avoid wearing out the suspension arms) and the steel gearbox.
I did have a piece of the hull break and was able to 3D print a replacement for it.
Overall, my T-72 has held up through some extensive use (driving an hour or two daily through gravel and sand)
Just a FYI the full metal version's will split the lower hull in the front . The plastic can't hold the weight and split at the front road wheels. You gotta add brace to strengthen it up.
no suprise. these pro kits need metal lower hulls at MIN. my Torro T2 was metal, driveline, lower hull,turret and gun and was the same price ffs
What do you mean?
So is it better to choose the S version rather than the Pro series which is full metal? because the S series is only metal in the driveshaft and dynamo gears
Looks like the t72-b. Those blocks are e.r.a . Nice tank.
Hi!
It does have 2 opening hatches, the commanders hatch does work, they just got a bit zealous with the glue.
Get a smallish flat head screwdriver, and prise it up carefully, it will open. It’s on another review.
Great review! 100% accurate. I love the tank. He is correct it does take about an hour to attach the accessories. The sound is excellent and matches the real thing. However, it really struggles to gain traction in short grass. If the grass is wet almost no traction. The climbing ability is low too. This tank really needs hard soil with no obstacles. My Tiger I with metal tracks performs better. The King Tiger struggles a bit in Grass too. Could use some decent decals.
Wow these tanks have come a long way. I started the hobby with the tx rx18 with the metal antenna.
my heng tiger 1 has a sitcker inside it saying QC 2002
Man such a tank and the remote...ill paint it cammo green when ill get one
Nice to see you doing the ground game while you got Wesley doing the air game see you guys on Friday
does it have a unlockable turret launch feature like real t72s...
Fuck those hatefull comments dude.

Whats the G+A gyroscope its it a stabilization for the gun and turret does this model have it if so am gonna instantly buy it
Pulling the pieces off the spruce without filing/sanding off tabs was just killing me.
If you shoot it with another rc tank, does the turret fly 20 feet into the air?
Nobody talks if it's waterproof I guess it's not waterproof LOL I'm sure you could seal some of the electronics
The decal on the IR light😂
Is there a new Sherman as well?
It seems heng long is overhauling all of their RC models and I’m wondering if the Sherman is gonna get an upgrade
Pretty neat!!
big downside with the extra parts is that there is no paint added to cover up all the spots when you break out the parts from the racks
I have a question on when it says in the instruction paper it says to not drive on long grass or a lawn. Does it mean I can’t drive it on grass or long hard grass?
Will you get this version, with FPV?
HL-70-3939-1CC-1-FPV-Armor-DZN1
Please review a couple more Torro tanks made of metal.
Jim
I'm
Joseph. I like the tank. But ware I put the bullets they all end up inside the tank. And don't shoot can you help me with this issue please. Thanks.
Would you guys happen to have a part number for that new smoke unit you mentioned? I am looking for a new smoke unit for my German King Tiger. Thanks.
I want some Z Force decals.
Are these tanks at all waterproof? Like can I take them through mud or shallow puddles?
Where to buy it pls can someone tell me
Is the only difference between the professional and upgrade version just metal wheels and tracks? Thanks. Cool looking tank!
I bought a professional Abrams tank with the metal tracks. but it seems that the tracks are too heavy for the motor to move the tank very well, making it very hard for the tank to turn, or go over very small hills. do you have any tips on how I could make my tank work better? I saved up for a very long time, and I am very disappointed in it.
I had plans to buy a second Heng Long next year, but it doesn't look like it will happen. Previously I bought a Heng Long Leopard 2A6 and now it has been sitting in the warehouse for 7 years. It's very difficult to find spare parts, it's strange that they keep releasing RCs but don't follow up with even spare parts...
by the way they only have one type of motor with different gears. plastic, metal and alloy... if you want to increase the power of a dynamo then you have to DIY, aka modify it yourself with a dynamo on the market. Had to rebuild the dynamo mount
Please clean off the left-over runner cutoffs from the parts you are assembling. This looks like a very nice kit. I would be eye sore with all those spruce leftovers on the parts.
next T14 Armata please?
Will there be a Leclerc main battle tank?
Awesome
From where can I buy this .😮
from our website. motionrc.com or motionrc.eu depending on what part of the world you live
I came across an r/c tank at a thrift shop. I can't find any real brand name. It's still in the box, and has features such as firing airsoft and a built in laser. Looks to be from the 90's, but that's just a guess
Is the heng long t90 pro v7.0 good?
I love mine except I blew the speakers using it above volume level 3. Read the hobby squawk forum about it.
I wonder if you could use glue and slap the era on like in the t72B3 version
You can. Mr Tankalot has got quite a few very in depth tutorial videos on how to do it in this very model.
Is there a way to make the turret have full operational 360 range?
you have to upgrade it by yourself. buy the 360 degree tank ring and install it
the henglong has a lot of accesory for you to buy if you want to upgrade your tank
Interesting I think I see some preupgraded ones available@@sandwich1234
Can they also pop the turret like the original?
does this T72 come with a javelin?
you put the red star on the searchlight 🙄 🤦♂️
does the M4A3 Sherman tank come with a panzerfaust?
@@NovaTech1 even a abrams wont survive a Javelin or russian kornet. those idiot keep spamming Javelin on russian weopons.
@@sandwich1234 Ik im just fed up with these so i decided to mess with them too
Will there be T-80BVM?
How are the Z Sticker?
I wanna get the new smoke generator for my 3 other tanks.
Hope in the near future these tank can shoot a real ammo
why?
😂
I'm sure someone could modify it to shoot 22 short
Do the KV-2!!
Where can I buy it on Mexico???
King tiger heng long review?
Do they still sell the regular t-72 without all the era on it?
Yes, got one from a few years back from HL.
@@axelusul currently all I can find is the one with all the era crap on it
@@turdfurgeson2032
Love the "Norm" by the way,
I got an early Heng Long T-72 with an Rx7.0 set up and an Airsoft BB gun that doesn`t work(have new one and replacement is not a big problem). Never used it brand new, plus nearly every other Heng Long Tank you can name at 1/16 not least the Tokyo Marui/VS Tank 1/24 tanks including the T-72 in that scale, plus all Forces of Valor 1/24 and all Tamiya models 1/25 of Centurian and Chieftan, Su 100, Panther and Jagpanther ready to RC and two XQ ZTZ 99a and T-10 1/24 Rc Tanks.
Needless to say I had a problem. Not to mention mods, crazy figures etc at or near the scale, spare parts and half built transporter. be vary wary.
You will have to monitor EBay etc, I`m in UK and want rid of the lot, should open a shop but too much "life" stuff to sort. LOL cringe.
@@turdfurgeson2032 E-Bay UK a "Smooth T-72" Arrow Models got 10 M8.
My bbs don't fit in the hole
Does the model also have the original "Jack in the Box" turret?
wow what an amazing joke u sure are funny...
It triggers me gently Heng Long decided to go with wrong ERA kit as "upgrade" for their T-72.
"T-72" tank in their offer is closest to T-72A and ERA kit for these uses characteristic wedge shaped layout on the turret front. What HL went with is correct layout, but for T-72B which in turn uses different turret with characteristic cutouts on turret roof, where composite armor is located, hull also would have to be altered.
Ironically, reusing most of T-90 hull/turret and giving it this ERA kit would result in convincing T-72B tank
Also, T-72 doesn't have neutral steering, which kind of triggers me on this model
8:05 why the arabic latters?
that hurts me🇸🇦💔
How can people say metal is better when it gets corroded
basic maintenance will avoid rust and corrosion and by that I mean dry it off if the wheels get wet after use, also metal is better because it lasts longer then plastic especially if you use it quiet a lot or if you use it rougher terrain, its also generally harder to damage hence why its better
seen and used in ukraine on a daily basis /war photographers
Great Video TY!! The paint job on these is horrible looking forward to painting it.
Ni
Love the T-72 ........not so impressive in real life !
You put an East German and a Soviet Russian roundel at the same time… looks ridiculous. And the you added Arabic. 🤦♂️
Just showing whats on the included decal sheet. You can put any of those on anywhere you wish
can you send me one please please please my girlfriend wont let me
We don't sell girlfriends unfortunately.
There is a 360 turret version of that yank
Tank I ment
