I just now ordered metal upgrade for my WW2 tanks, Walker Bulldog & Panther.

Regarding RC Toys, admin gone to China for business. Check out their FB, call & sms will not go through. Use whatsapp instead. According to RC Toys FB, you can sms syamil instead.

As for bro Yassin, better you contact him directly. I didn't join his bulk yet because I'm getting metal upgrade first. Join "NS RC Tank" group at FB & PM Yassin Yahaya.

Ok.

noted.

Tq.

First phase upgrade 90% complete.

Bulldog - metal gearbox, sprocket & tracks
Pantiger - metal gearbox & new but fried RX18...again. ordered Heng Long 2.4GHz system.

Next is getting metal tracks for Pantiger.

The RX18 sit outside of the tank is new & I fried it after few minutes of test run with the Pantiger.

German Panther (Pantiger) upgraded to 2.4GHz system. It's Heng Long 2.4GHz system for now.







I'm not happy with proportional steering with HL 2.4GHz. It's too sensitive. When proportional steering, tracks on one side should running slower than the tracks the other side but with HL 2.4GHz, that tracks tend to stop instead.

I need to add weight in the front in Bulldog. The stock tracks on the Panther (Pantiger) tend to throws when moving on the grass. Hopefully the metal tracks don't have this problem.

Hey guys. Just joined the RC Tank family with this HL Leopard 2A6. Really love how it looks.



Also did the mod turrent 360 turn as requested.


Also I'm a seller so anyone need help feel free to ask.

for HL 2.4GHz, do u face the problem like jam after few minit play, or when u press forward, the tank moving forward but until certain distance (20m) the tank stop & unable to move anymore?? any time delay VS distance???

i want to get a HL 2.4GHz for my tiger too.

I have not test at that distance though. I don't think I would drive the tank up to 20m distance without following the tank from behind, unless I installed FPV system. The HL 2.4GHz I'm using is the latest one, 2014 version. It's pretty good but it doesn't have slow crawl speed. The lowest speed is still too fast for WW2 tanks like Tiger I and it's not smooth at low speed, especially when you're changing directions while moving. A pair of low ratio gearboxes should fixed this though or combination of that & hobby grade control board like Clark's board or EL MOD or IBU or DBC3.

Also have you tested your tank on uneven terrain, especially sands surface? My tracks keeps throwing on the idler wheels. It's not throwing completely but the inner teeth of the tracks tend to enter the groove in the idler wheels. This is while running straight. Kinda annoying. I know how to fixed them though; track tensioner & metal bars bracing the hull to stop hull flexing. It's need a lot of $$$$ to fixed the problem; track tensioner + low ratio gearboxes + Clark boards (+ 2.4GHz radio). So I'm going to postpone upgrading/fixing my Tiger I chassis tank. I'm going to upgrade my Bulldog tank first & possibly getting the Leopard 2a6 tank.

My Bulldog current condition. Fixed the periscope, so it'll look like the real thing & put the extra tracks at correct place, almost.


My Pantiger, with Tiger I chassis. Like Bulldog, this one also already upgraded to steel gearboxes & metal tracks set. This one use HL 2.4GHz 2014.



Another video.

nice video.
all the problem u mention r common issue for HL tank, if u want fully upgrade it may cost 1k above.

i just wanna get the 2.4g for smooth play. facing many issue using the existing controller.

if got extra budget, then only looking for clark sound card.

If you don't mind low speed issue or lack of proper proportional speed, the HL 2.4GHz is good. A lot of experienced RC tankers advised me to stay away from HL 2.4GHz & get better controller board like Clark's. This is up to you. Some people like me (many actually if we include all tankers in the world) want WW2 scale speed for their WW2 tank. HL 2.4GHz & standard HL gearbox can not give that to you.

scare buying the wrong one....& setup may be difference

edit:
the HL 2.4 come with 2.4g controller & 2.4G board.

Sorry for late reply. I got both. Basically when I ordered mine, I asked for both transmitter & receiver.

Edward Chew from RC Tank Malaysia Community Trading FB page is selling HL 2.4GHz complete system in one package.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/62986138037...87069471322165/

HL 2.4GHz is proprietary system. You can't use it with any hobby grade 2.4GHz radio. You can only use it with HL 2.4GHz transmitter.

Ok.
will try to have a look
Thank.

After so long thinking of getting one, i finally caved in and bought myself one HL M41A3 Bulldog. Played a lil bit yesterday and it was super cool

Nice!

Sorry I didn't reply your PM, it was very early morning when I saw your PM & totally forgot to reply later.
