RX18 board & it is 115 ringgit.

same like time delay & bug issue happen.
either u get another tank (tiger 1) for RM 220 as accesorry or display
Or u can get at Taobao.

No problem. I just ordered two RX18 boards. Just checked ebay, the cost around 90 to 100 ringgit (free shipping) from Hong Kong. So 115 ringgit is ok I think, especially it'll arrive tomorrow.

quite okay i guess
unless you take limfreelance's suggestion, and if you find it somewhere, you could get a tiger i locally at myr 150.00, and either keep the boardless hull or sell if of as well

Even if I buy another tank, I won't sell my bulldog since all I need to fixed it is a RX18 board. The seller did offer me a german tank, either panzer or panther for 2xx ringgit but for now I must fixed the bulldog first.

You could transfer the board from others into Walker Bulldog since Heng Long's tanks all sounds the same

In any case, hoping that your tank will be in good condition

That would drive me crazy because one of the tank will be inoperative.

Thank you, hoping full recovery. Hopefully today because the seller said it would arrive this afternoon. I'm going to put a fan & 5 amp fuse to protect the board.

hahaha
it seems that you have this thing with non operative tank
i too feels it would be less than complete if a rc tank doesn't move

in any case, looking forward for it
do post up some pics if you're doing any internal mods yeah

My bulldog running again. Something wrong with the receiver board, so I changed both RX18 & receiver board. I don't know what's wrong with original receiver board but we didn't troubleshoot further including unplug & replug the crystal. I paid 168 ringgit for both. Tell me I'm an idiot or what?

I also bought german panther or snow Leopard (the manual said snow Leopard) for 82 ringgit, minus the receiver & RX18 boards (if the bulldog original receiver turn out good, only minus RX18). Yeah, we transfer the boards to bulldog. Now, is this good bargain or I'm an idiot?

Oh yeah, I also bought tiny fan for coolig RX18 board.

supposedly everything should be in running condition if the crystals are in correct numbering (1-8 IINM)

I just tried it again last night, the receiver board definitely dead. The crystal ok. So I have two sets of crystal. For the panther, I plan to put Clark TK22 board in it & replace gearbox/sprocket/tracks with metal.

The right motor in Bulldog a bit loose. Fortunately the gearbox doesn't ware out. If the board doesn't burn the gear might ware out & I would still need to spent some money for the gearbox.

I hope this unfortunate event doesn't scare off people from getting into this hobby.

The only things I don't like about Heng Long is shoddy quality control & poor wiring job. There are exposed wires that just mm away from touching each other.

upgrade consume alot money.
let said metal gear & track, it make tank heavy, u need a good battery to run it, then u also need a good charger to charge the battery tooo. soon u may notice the motor no powerful & need to change new type....& so on.

Actually the basic HL tank is good, just that the Sound & transistor is poor quality. If u get ride of this 2, it can as good as tamiya.

2.4ghz controller need RM 150 above
TK22 sound card need RM 250 above
both item only can get oversea...& u need to paid for the shipping cost.

for modern Tank Tank (pricy) like Leopard 2, u need to upgrade the Motor & turret for rotation 360 degree.....indirectly u need to get better battery set.

after consider this, i give up to upgrade my tiger 1.

You are really having a streak of bad luck IMHO
Apart from the occasional detrack (self mistake since I spin the tank to fast on grassy surface), I have never encountered any problem at all for both my Tiger I and Tiger II

What Panther are you having BTW? The Ausf. G of the earlier ones (dubbed Pantiger )

The receiver board maybe gone bad when the RX18 fried. Fortunately we detected this problem at the shop & replacement board available right away. The donor tank was a Panther. Then I bought the Panther tank cheap. I got everything except the receiver & RX18 boards which we tranfered to my Bulldog earlier. Our original agreement was for the electronics only, to get the Bulldog running again.

I don't know which Panther is this. I'll post pictures later.

I think it's Pantiger. I'm kinda confused because I read Pantiger is the name Allied gave to Tiger II or King Tiger but further reading at RC tank forums, I think Pantiger is referring to the earlier Heng Long Panther tank that is most inaccurate which I think what I got. Mine is 2013 production. Doesn't matter if it's inaccurate, as long as I can go battle with it.

I am not sure regarding that term used by allied for Tiger II, but I am most definitely sure that Pantiger is the name for the amalgation of Panther using Tiger hull in RC scale, hence the combined name.

Doesn't matter really, as long as the end result that the user is happy. I am just particular with such matter since I aim for the accuracy of it in scale form. That is just my personal view.

This is the article that talking about the "original" PanTiger.
http://www.lonesentry.com/articles/ttt_pantiger/

I'm also prefer accuracy in scale model but I'm new to tank, so it's hard for me to detect inaccuracy of the design. Since Panther was never in the short list of tank I want to get, I never research about it. I just saw someone make little correction to PanTiger, make it look like a Panther G if I'm not mistaken. Look easy for the front. I may try it later.

Oh okay I get it. A Tiger that resembles a Panther, which is quite true in terms of design (sloped armor, similar size [but then again, Panther, Tiger I and Tiger II all share nearly identical size when put side by side]). This is new to me, after reading many books on German WWII tanks

Panther Ausf. G would be a good choice, since it is the late version, as compared to D and A.

Suspension test.

Off-road test.

Added fan to RX18 board. I use DC5V fan. Cut the housing for better ventilation. The other wire is for tail lights.
