Hi all, i'm not sure if there's a thread for this since i don't think i seen any for several pages. I recently purchased a RC 1/16 Tiger I tank (i'm a big avid fan to tanks) and i was wondering if anyone have collected these RC tanks? I look forward to collect a few more like King Tiger and Leopard tanks (i hope they release a Maus). I learnt that these RC tanks can be equipped with the Battle System, does anyone know where to get it in KL? There's also a few questions to the RC tanks collectors like, how much abuse can the tank take in rough terrains (open grounds)? Also, is there any place that sells metal RC tanks? Those babies can crush a toy car! rclxms.gif

For those who don't have any knowledge about them, they can fire BB pellets (6 mm size) and according to their manuals, up to the range of 25 to 30 meters (i'm not sure if it's true or not but i'm gonna test it out tonight). It has some lighting and various sound effects from starting the engines, to firing the turret (with shock effect) and machinegun sounds.

The drums behind the tank generates smoke. A very nice cosmetic effect there thumbup.gif

Sorry to say that i couldn't recommend you SUVs, vans or 4 wheel drives coz i'm not familiar with those though. sad.gif

If it's about tanks and if you want all the nifty functions, i say go for Tamiya's since they have the "Full Option" functions. But if you couldn't afford those, try Heng Long's, they're in a affordable price range with similar functions.

If it's possible if there's anyone that knows any shops that sells upgradable tank parts, it'll be great for my tank to get metal tracks and wheels. drool.gif

RM 300 is more than enough to get a Heng Long's tank. I got mine for RM 260 biggrin.gif

Yup, it comes readily made biggrin.gif
There's Panzer III, Leopard, Panther and Tiger I. Apparently, they'll gonna release a few more variations like Tiger I's mid to late production models, King Tiger, Panver IV and a Sturmgeschutz III.

But if you preffer to do some modding to your RC tank, it's also possible. smile.gif

Sorry guys for the late replies! tongue.gif

A few handful tips from what i learnt...

Never bring your RC tank (with plastic tracks, sprockets and wheels) out in the open ground with more than an inch high grass. Because the sprockets and wheels and tracks are made of plastic, they can't handle the stress so, don't be surprise that your sprocket wheel decides to break! shocking.gif

To prevent this from happening, (and to play them on the open ground), you gotta upgrade them to metal tracks, sprocket wheels and wheels with a whole metal suspension to sustain the stress from rough terrains. It'll cost you some cash but look at it this way...YOU CAN CRUSH TOY CARS with it. brows.gif

Due to the speed of the RC tank, a nice little trick is to put some weights inside the tank but make sure your Tank's gear engines can handle the load. smile.gif

That Tiger I cost me RM 260 biggrin.gif

Unless you want the Special Edition models, i haven't seen any place selling them yet or maybe i haven't look them up hard enough. sad.gif

The Special Edition models comes with a metal suspension, turret barrel flashes when fired, machine gun turret at the body of the tank that moves by its own, a few more openable hatches biggrin.gif

Actually, there are a few camo variations for Tiger I's but as for the weathered down, i guess you have to do it yourself tongue.gif
