Heng Long Challenger 2 1/16 RC Tank - AIRSOFT BB'S And Metal Tracks - Full Review 

This could do 40mph. Also there was two engines in the tank. The small one is called a g.u.e which stands for generator unit engine which would supply all electrical power from a 4 cylinder perkins diesel. The track tensioner is called htt hydraulic track tensioner. The side skirts are for general running they are replaced with armour sides which also directed the exhaust gases to the rear of the tank from the side so it would be difficult to identify it in the dark. The smoke generator would be operated only for a few seconds at a time to make a screen between the tank and the enemy to allow the tank to make a quick get away. When the tank rotates on the spot it's called a neutral turn.

Love your third hand for when you were loading up the bb’s .

ADDICTION WARNING !! 1 tank is not enough, 5 tanks are not enough, 12 tanks are still not enough. You will want them all. Awesome value for money.

So happy to see motionrc has hang long here in the states now can’t wait to try these bad boys out. Great review

Hvala Bratko! This is a great model 👍

OMG, he killed me with the"binoculars"

Steve, the tank is as cool as hell, and your videos are the best.

Finally thanks for the video and keep up the good work

I was starting to worry, I had never got to see a tank on this channel. lol I really want to see more WL Toys now that you introduced me to them I am a fan of the little guys.

Been waiting for years for a company to produce a British Warrior.... love the chally....

That is cool! I'm a grown man, and I want one.

Appreciate a review that shows the internals.....thanks

I have the Heng Long Russian T90 with the metal tracks and wheels and steel gear cogs. Worth while getting the pro upgrade version. I think cos the T90 has a lot of bits and pieces on the turret area , my model came with lots of parts to fix and glue, so enjoyed making it. Apart from the different body mouldings the running gear is the same throughout the range. Good for the price, but you wont stop at one.

Challenger 2 holds the record for the longest confirmed tank kill at 4700 metres During the 2nd Iraq war

Very cool

Challenger II is my No.1 favorite tank built!

Those 'binoculars' are smoke dischargers.

still awesome video buddy!!!!

The challenger 2 still remains to this day the best defended tank in the world EVER and has never been destroyed in combat. Like to see the Americans do that

thanks for sharing.

I am planning to buy two of the modern MBT's, which ones do you recommend? I'm torn between m1a1 Abrams/Challenger 2 and T90/ZTZ99. (I basically want to make a set of one nato and one eastern block tank)

Hi mate great tank great review looks awesome . I have a US-M41A3 Walker BullDog Light RC Tank Airsoft I love it I've weathered mine it looks ok. Might get this tank. 👍👊👍

Had mine about 18 months only had two problems 1st when I tried to run it up a shale mound got a small rock stuck between the track and drive sprocket had to take the track off to clear that 2nd lost the cap and securing screw for a drive sprocket fortunately I found them and would suggest putting a spot of locktite on the screws other than that it's a Bobby dazzler

The friendly fire incident was with my dad’s friend he was in the tank that got shot at

Mine came in broken and also bit different, i think mine was used before. Bought from the link anyways small amount of glue fixed the issue, it was fun building it,

Great video. Had no idea that these tanks had so much tech packed in to them like that. Very impressive. I have 3 HengLong tanks. I have 2 German Stug III. One has metal tracks and gearbox and the other one is just the standard one. I am also waiting on a King Tiger. Then I have a very fun RipSaw tank. It is great fun!!

really wish I could afford one of these looks proper cool

You are very brown from the Australian Sun? Liked !

Can you go through weathering painting these? Also any internal upgrades you plan to do? Thanks

Really good looking tank

Good review

Nice details on the tank body.

Between the M41A3 and the Challenger 2 which one would you recommend most? I love both but can only afford one :P

nice tank♡

O animal amassou o manual de instruções todo.

Bro,i just got a t90 tank and it is a awesome toy,but i would like to know if u can give me a clue if there is a way i can get a second rechargeable batteries and small parts for my tank?im asking becouse the parts are small and some of them are really fragile you know and it breaks easy if crash the tank with a rock or something..i would like to get a secondary batteries,can you give me some advices where can u get all that?

Cool

Thanks for this review I am considering getting one but I’m now definitely getting one. One question, will the tank still respond to controls if you were to buy the upgraded transmitter for it so you can move the gun up and down more realistically

Hey mate great videos I love the tanks I have a M26 Pershing and the Bulldog, what exactly are the benefits of the steel upgrade tanks, there more expensive but does that mean there better.? thanks again for the video.

Love these rc tanks, only thing I've would do is add some weight in the front to balance it more so it climbs way better

Superb video, mate. Excellent review! We all know what we really wanna see @ 28:11 !! 😉

I have the henglong tiger 1 with metal gears, tracks etc but I’ve burnt out 4 rx18 modules up to date. Running on grass seems to put to much on the rx unit causing them to fail. Is there any other electronics that can be fitted, I don’t fancy paying over the top for Tamiya dmd units.

Im thinking of buying this now! A Challenger 2 has one of the best armour systems in the world. Chobham armour to be precise. It is used by the M1 Abrams, Challenger 1 and Challenger 2.

AWESOME VIDEO!! BY THE WAY I FOLLOWED YOU ON INSTAGRAM!!!

Inhave got 3 of them tanks from HL. A leopard , Sherman and a German Panzer 4... the leopard BB system went kaput for no reason, i tried to repair it but everything inside was so filmsy. The plastic are brittle, soldering jobs are sloppy, red wire are interconneting to each other by soldering making it impossibe to replace some motors without unsoldering joints... i build drones and i had never done sunch sloppy wiring in all by RC build. I retired 2 tanks and left the sherman on display as i re-did the aweful paint job. My advice... you get what u paid for. If you can, save up for a Tamiya. Forget about Taigen or Mato too... gets a Tamiya 1/16 or a Armortek 1/5.

Big like!

Great vids mate. Just wondering which of the Heng Long tanks come with metal tracks and/or metal gears as standard? Thanks

I have the HL challenger with plastic tracks. Does anyone know how too unpin them as mine need shortening, as they start to come off when turning.

Trust me, you want the Steel Gears and Add Lithium Grease! This Tank is Heavy with Steel Gears and Drive, Road Wheels and Idlers. Get a Higher Cap. Lithium Battery. Actually I prefer a Lipo. The 3500mah does a good job. 1800 just don't cut it because of the Weight. Yes I own one. If you have little patience for maintenence, try one of the lesser ones as the M-41 Bulldog or M26 Pershing. My next is the Metal Tracked, Steel Geared T-34-85. Try Baby Oil for the Smoke Unit. Seems to work well so far.

Hey Steve. Would you mind trying some 6mm paint ball bb's through it? I'm curious to wether or not they might clog up the barrel (if they will make it through prior to breaking up) thank you.

Hello, I just received this very tank for Christmas, however mine has the plastic tracks and the green camo scheme, the tank is fine and seems to run rather well, but, there is no switch to turn the gun on in the little turret hatch, were yours is located, so the gun does not in fact work, there is a hole were the button should be, and an ON and OFF engraving on each side, I'm guessing it is a factory default, however I am not sure, please could you try to explain what has happened here. and perhaps release a video? :) Anyway thanks a bunch, great review!

attach a go pro on top and drive on screen like u playing war thunder hahaha

Scale Modellers Heaven. Its massive, heavy and fun to build. Make sure you weather this behemoth. I tried a new brand of cheaper paint for weathering, try India Ink or China Ink for panel lines and grooves to pop-out more realistically. For it is so awesome to drive this Tank on Urban Terrains. Just be sure to bring your smokes.

Woah you have 3 hands!!!

Trying to find the dimensions of the chassis without the gun. Length and width any help?

😊👍Nice!

My m1a2 does not have a on and off switch on the button what do I do?

Do a review on the rc leapard 2a6 tank pls !!

Good video…. But I’m still very new to RC Tanks, and on my Heng Long Abrams tank you have to manually move the trait in order to get to on/off switch…. My question is, when you manually turn-the Trait does it do damage to the system?

@09:15 *snorts* I like how you point out that they're stepping up their game while pointing at the painted wheel hubs right next to the unpainted track ( with false metal track pads ) and even worse the unpainted drive wheel - Fuckin' lol man...

Oh great! Now someone has to manufacture a small rpg - 9 or tow 2 missle to put this out of commission, awesome tank.

Your videos are the best! Love the detailed reviews and feature demonstrations. Where do you get spare or upgrade parts for these? banggood does not really carry anything.

I opened the battery pack from one of my HL tanks. Instead of seeing 1800mah, its battery is only 1500mah. Too bad I cant post a picture here

Where can i get this tank and how much is it

you should get the paintball bbs and have a tank battle with two tanks would be a great video to watch

تحية للعرب I love you

Does the turret go around enough so the barrel can be stowed in the gun rear position?

I pretty love your RC TANK video's and i follow your channel juste for that, i have a suggestion, you never do american tanks (i think) and never do video of MATO TANKS, good job for you 50 000 subscribers;)

How can I reload the bb?

surprised the BB option was allowed into australia since airsoft is illegal here!

I wish there were 2-plane stabilized 360º turret versions

Hydro pneumatic suspension...er no, try hydrogas fella.It needs repainting in the correct colour (olive drab), and the tracks need painting black. i don't remember track bashing silver links..lol

Tanks for sharing. Are the HL tanks more or less the same as the Taigen tanks in your experience? Two Taigens and one Tamiya myself.

mine does not have a on/off switch! (same tank with plastic treads). need to repair one track section on it! want to upgrade to metal tracks.

can you do a T 90

very good value for money especially with all the electronics you get sound, smoke, motor and upgraded metal parts. wanted to ask though, some concerns on an RC modelling site about heng long adding metal parts such as tracks and sprockets was going to cause premature wear to the tank and cause issues such as warping? Any truth to this?

Track or caterpillar similar on leopard

10:35 U said 120mm Muzzle, but really u say gun, because the muzzle is just the tip of the barrel which is part of the gun inside the turret

The guners primary sight hatch is closed it is the box at the back of the gun

Do you have T-90

Remember to lube the cannon. 🛢️

Imagine one with a paintball gun at 300 fps...great video thumbs up subscribed

Buy a Clark tk challenger 2 board and your life will be complete one of the best sounding tank engines you can get

So cool!! May i ask how much?? Really want to have one...

Hey mate could you get the Sherman all metal and fix it up as the Fury tank in Fury haha cause wanner get a tiger plus that and fuck around and so on

Recomend that people read instructions and put transfers on first.

Is the hull and turret made out of plastic or metal

Just need black for the rubber trackpads on the track.

Hi Tony how you doing

궤도이탈안하나요??

Can you change the sound like other Heng long tanks

the recoil really over, can we set it to a smaller rate ?

Is this the biggest heng long tank you have. If not what is the biggest one

I need an rx18 and controller for a tiger if anyone has one.

Can you make a unboxing of taigen t 34 85 metal green version plss

Lots of space to load it up with 18650s for lonr rub

The challenger 2 main battle tank is one of if not the best of its kind in the world certainly the fastest ..get ya facts right ..

Any good rc tanks that are below £100? I really can’t afford more than that tbh /:

Challenger 2 came out in the late 80s

RC tanks and trucks you should get the Russian T-90 Heng long it is one of the beat RC tanks ever made by hang long.
