What is the runtime like on that small blue battery? Apparently you can’t get it out unless you take the body of, is that true? Its the only thing that puts me off this tank. Other hong leng/tongde models have large battery trays underneath
The Tonde Churchill has a battery box at the front of the vehicle, and a connector inside the vehicle, separated by a partition at the rear. The battery cannot be removed without removing the top of the vehicle, so in order to be able to replace the battery without removing the vehicle, it is necessary to modify part of the partition and move the connector position inside the box, and to extend the wiring. It would be helpful if the battery box was on the underside of the vehicle, like the HengLong tank, but the Tonde tank has a unique design. With the genuine battery, I think it will last about 30 minutes, depending on how you play with it.
