- 1:6 SCALE RC CHALLENGER BATTLE TANKS at BOVINGTON TANK MUSEUM [UltraHD & 4K]
This Challenger Tank started life as a model made in Russia by Alex Shlakhter and was imported by Mark Spencer of Mark-1-1-Tank in the UK (he imports and builds the models ready for sale here). Lyndon, of UK Tank Club, brought it new and then rebuilt it a few years later with the up armoured version in Desert colour and is based on a real Chally "Crusader" from the Cyclops Squadron, 2nd Royal Tank Regiment, operation Telic, Az Zubayr, Southern Iraq, 2003.
The model had a compete metal chassis custom made, along with various metal boxes from the electrics, and custom speaker set up.
Trev took it off Lydons hands in August 2016, and had a £1000 custom tracks fitted as the original tracks suffered broken links regularly, a common problem on the 1/6 Challenger. It now has steel track ends and center links with steel track pins and nuts to hold them all together, this has solved the running issues. Trev also had a custom sound system made from Benedini and Stian, so a mix from both in one sound card, so it now sounds more like the real thing
The model runs from 24V electric power with two 350W chain driven motors, 4QD speed controllers, and Futaba 2.4ghz radio. In early 2017 most of the paintwork was redone with a slightly darker shade of yellow and heavily weathered look. It now weighs a lot more than a standard Challenger due to the chassis and track mods. Tracks also have idler adjusters as the original never had them.
This video was filmed at Bovington Tank Museum at the annual model show in February 2017 using the Panasonic AG-UX180 4K camcorder.

@ 1:10 is amazing to see the Tiger Tank Kinda makes the challenger look a tad bit smaller.
I was just wondering if it could do 180 degree turn and it just did. You guys must be mind readers.
I wish I could feature your tanks on my channel!
I'm always up for collaborating. What did you have in mind? Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
I own the challenger 2 tank in this video, i bought it from Trev in June 2017, i have since done some extra work on the detail and will be selling it later in 2018, i dont know the owner of the other tank, but i wish i too could have driven it with another
Challenger 2.
Very impressive Trev I look forward to seeing it in the flesh A
All large scale tanks suffer the same realism-killing problem (especially off road), a waggly main gun!
all larg scale tanks suffer from the same realism killing problem. . .they arnt real, physics dont scale, it would help if it were built like a real tank but they are like walmart rc toys, plastic and such, if it was a box made of 1/2 inch steel plate with a small car engine in it i bet you it would feel alot more like the presence of a tank
To be fair even some film prop' Tanks (full size) have the wobbly gun problem.
How about little Isis outposts you can run over & completely destroy..😆😆
Or have it leave skid marks on the merican flag, like its shitting on it.
Next do a 1:1 scale RC...
Whut!
would like to buy one like that.
Nice video
those are awesome! the flags are the perfect touch to spice up the plain old desert paint! I'll be making my way through this whole play list I bet
Cool. Great to hear! Make a cuppa tea, sit back and enjoy. Make sure you select the highest possible resolution (using the gear button in the player) when it starts playing ;>) Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Essential RC Haha great advice Dom, there's some really cool tanks in here. I can practically here my wallet running for cover haha
In 2:06 on the left, I saw the Black Bess! (like the tank in battlefield game)
Screw that modern armor, I want that WWI rc
TripleViktor Hmm the 1/6 Mark 4?
Do they shoot? What's the point of having a big radio controlled tank if it can't fire?
Serious question?! Same could be said for a radio controlled F16 or a radio controlled Apache helicopter. Next question.
Do mark 1 still produce this art?
Where can I buy that?
did you sale chally 2 with armor?
Quite impressive models sir :) What do you think a model like this weighs?
The 1:4 scale weighed 1/4 tonne so probably a half to 2/3 of that. They are heavy dutch! Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Good :) A tank like this would otherwise drive very un-scale-like otherwise :)
DutchRC Adventures my challenger is around 125kg (the model with the extra amour in the video)
Damn! That is quite a lot of weight sir :)
If only they csn shoot real shell and we’d have a realistic tc and tank battle
Where can I buy this??
where can I buy this?
Why is that non armoured one sitting so low?
Sorry Steve. I really don't know. UK Tank Club would be able to give you an answer. They are on Facebook. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
lel i thought i was the only one that noticed how the one without side skirt seem a little bit off.
Most likely heavy and the suspension isn’t upgraded to hold it up.
Custom build also maybe
nice tanks until u learn they are made out of resin... for the insane prices they charge for them I expect steel hull at the very least. not fiberglass hand mold!!
where can i get a rc tank that size i love rc tanks and quite a few but only in 1:12 scale i live in the us and cant find any larger then that
Suggest you talk to the guys in the UK Tank Club (facebook group). They will point you in the right direction. I do know that this Challenger is currently for sale. I can put you in direct contact if you give me your email address. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
fuckin awesome fella 👍👍👍
Build a craav out of a centurion tank
Id like to know where i can buy one.
Best idea is to talk to the guys on the 'UK Tank Club' Facebook group. They will give you all the info you need. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Mark one tanks
where we can buy that one?
Recommend you join the 'UK Tank Club' Facebook group and ask there. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)
Not only are these RC tanks better than anything North Korea has, you an still buy parts for these.
Shut up and take my money
The first (KFOR)Challenger is way too low. Bad build quality. No sense for scale. Ugly thing.
