Haha heard about this thread, well i have all the henglong 1/16 tanks, from first generations which were crap until they release the tanks with rx18 boards. The best one i think todate would be the ztz99, bigger than king tiger hahahahaha. Here's some pictures of my collection.

Regarding the Stug III i think i got it from the fb guy. For Stug III they don't come with bb version just the ir version. I don't modify the tank much but throughout internal i'm ok to solve most issues like smoker, range, functions as to be frank most of the tanks i got suffered from lots of minor problems, like missing parts, wrong parts, broken parts, hence the problem with buying online. If I have a shop here selling here at around the same price better. For ztz i changed the motors to simulate speed for modern tanks, meaning faster loh. All my tanks are running on 5000mah lipo battery just have to modify the battery compartment. Frankly at their price all of the tanks from heng long are a bargain. I remember when they came out with the tiger i more than 10 years back i was one of the first to get it costing more than rm400 each without smoke and sound from hong kong and all of them last less than a minute run before frying the circuit boards. That's why after that i got the tokyo marui and vs tank, just started collecting the heng long ones after a long term of phobia. You're welcome to pm me on any issues, i'll be glad to help if i could. Cheers.

i see
Maybe later i would want to haul on that stug, hehe
I dont mind if its bb or ir, just as long as its in correct dimension
Ownibg one does give ine such satisfaction since tamiya is tad too much to ask for
maybe later we could discuss on the internal part, i still have a lot to learn
Interested to upgrade to elmod or slu, but as of now, maybe one should wait. Tad expensive for me

Forthe mod you can have another tank.??? eventually i think collect those that you want then go slowly from there,

Acher 13, just for info being online has it's risk too as you can't see and test the physical thing. I have both the seller's email and if you want i can pm you. For info the panzer iv they are selling the F1 is desert yellow colour and f2 grey other than that the shape is identical except for the barrel..cheers

nevertheless, the seller sold out his StuG III already :/

Yup I got the last unit which was a displayed one, missing an accessory and charger.

Haha so they finally arrived, glad to hear. as for battery yes to be safe just charge till warm, but don't forget to monitor as they do not stop even when full. I'm using peak chargers so not much time wasted. anyway the stock batteries are crap getting worse everytime you charge, I'm running 5000mah 2 cell lipos on my tanks, play till you hope it'll drain faster hahahahaha.

either you dab a little instant glue or like me i bend the pin a little. Cheers

Dear Acher13, when i got my tanks some came with parts broken like yours due to our friendly courier, by the way since you like girl figurines and tanks so much, there is a new anime called girls und panzer currently airing in Japan, there is up to episode 9 currently which will finish at 12 episode, guess what they all use WW2 tanks, and the main character is using your favourite panzerIV. You can watch them here http://www.gogoanime.com/girls-und-panzer-episode-1

You'll find you wouldn't stop at 4 probably like me collect every model. For your crystal they are simple AM 27mhz type which you can buy from any hobby shop or online stores which you replace and as long as they are from different frequencies of 27 you can run as many as you want without clashing. Cheers.

Generalpete, if you're into modern tanks then ztz99 is the biggest and longest of the lot. Price is the same as king tiger which is more the other tank range. In the end i think you'll probably end up wilth all the models or most of what you can find as they are super addictive.

Acher13 my theme after watching the anime is painting my stug red hahahahahaha, pink, gold etc to match.

Generalpete, the ztz i got my sis to bring back from China, as for the king tiger i got it online but no more stock, best place will be the one in berjaya times i think, they have metal track, gearbox etc but i didn't deal with them before cos i'm in JB. Other than the king tiger and ztz, KV1, the rest are easily available.

I got them all online. Shops here in JB selling rm399 for non smoke and sound and the only model you can find here is pantiger. Dear Tiger I how much did the king tiger cost you????

GREAT NEWS, after waiting for so long heng long has launch their 1/16 Leopard, Sherman tank and also 1/16 ZTZ99A (additional armour on existing ztz99) wonder how long when i can get my hands on them.

Dear Acher 13, just to check with you when you recently purchase the tauch panzer iii did the manual come with additional piece for extra accesories? Did you receive the rear tow hooks? I got one recently which came without manual and there is no tow hooks provided and when got a copy of the scan accesories page it doesn't show up but at henglong website the tank has them installed to the back. Weird, there is 2 holes each side for the tow hook installation.

no i mean the ones at either 2 ends near the idler wheel like loop for towing shown in the picture

Yeah that's why i found it weird as from your picture you notice there is tow hooks but my tank came without. I got it fromn the same guy you did, came with lots of broken parts and one movement function was out send back to the seller which instead of sending me a new one send this tank for repair just got it on saturday missing some parts ie even the machine gun on turret missing, no manual etc even the inside foam box in pieces.

pm me the price list for metal tracks, metal gearbox and metal wheels. price for new heng long 1/16 sherman, leopard2a6 and ztz99a if you have. thanks.

no point changing the rx18 as it will cost around rm100, get a new tank and use the old ones for spare parts cheaper and more cost efficient as new tank 200 plus. just my 2 cents

Of course it's true, it's the biggest tank todate by henglong with the most accesories as well since ztz99a is not available here yet.

you forgot? JBlah
