KING TIGER - Heng Long 1/16 RC Tank - Full Review 

That was great! I really enjoyed all the history and talk about the full scale version of the King Tiger. Fascinating stuff and a very cool unboxing

I enjoyed that. Especially the history bit. Thanks for sharing.

many years ago i put together a rc 1/16 king tiger kit. spent the time putting on a zimmermitt coating. as with the original king tiger the transmission was shit. it had two friction clutches that wore out very quickly. in another video i see they split the system with direct drive for each. suspension was a arduous task but, ran well with no problems. went together very well.

the moment he pulls the cover of the turret out, it reminds me of HowToBasic video, LOL!

This is s beautiful tank I’m going to get it I beatitude looks amazing in a outside RC track I’m glad it’s easy to use and fix thanks for the video

nice video mate! I can see all these tank reviews starting a new rc addiction for me 😂

Great video mate, I love these tank reviews!

Nice review, enjoyed the video. Thank you!

Awesome my ne t hen lomg purchase! Subscribed! Thanks George

Awesome Tank BEAST!!! Great Vid thanks :)

best in depth review ever! thanks! :D

Awesome tank!😀

Very nice ! Thanks George

I think I need one of these now! BTW, both turrets were made by Krupp, the one called the Porsche turret is the pre-production one and the one called the Henschel turret was the production version.

Nice! Hvala, bratko.

Cool tank I love rc related things including tanks also I subscribed!

My favourites are 1 King Tiger 2 Tiger 1 I loved this review! I really want one!

that's cool, sound effects are nice

Nice review! Those notches around the front plate represent the interlocking armour plate construction.

great job

Looking on this RC tanks and for a budget side of things Heng Long ones are the way to go, tho I don't really know if I should go for IR ones or Airsoft ones, both seems great to play on. I guess I need to spend some time for each style to see what I like most. You said you will start paying more attention to paint job and you will do some weathering and some styling on it, did you made a video about it as I can't find it. Also you said you will make one for the jag...sorry if you made them but at this hour I just can't find them anymore. Also, why aren't you covering more tanks? You alone said that the channel is called RC Tanks & Trucks as you love tanks but all I see are some RC cars all the way and hardly some tanks around. Thanks for all the work you put into this videos, but it will be nice if you also say how reliable are the ones from Heng Long :)

Nice vid Steve - Will we be seeing any of those weathering videos anytime soon? Are the upgraded versions available as well? MORE TANKS!!!!! :-)

years ago I found a tamiya henschel turret k.t. at a 2nd hand store at nib,never touched for 10 us dollars.built it n sold for 700 us dollars wich is still cheap.Bang prices are really good on these HLong tanks may get one or two.lol

Buy the 2.4ghz, the motors seem to run more realistic speed. Best part of these models is to repaint and mod them. As i have little patience these days for gluing lots of parts together. Painting and weathering the best part.

one of the things that makes this video so enjoyable is.. how much you actually know about these real tanks .. thanks for sharing.. thumbs up 🖒😎

Nice tank!

!!!Tiger ll P is my biggest love ❤.

Thanks

So, what does it take to make this one IR capable? Do we just plug in the IR receiver or do we need to purchase other items?

Also can you review the T-90 :)

will u do the kv 1 next??? nice vid keep up the good work plus do all the henglong kingtigers come with the 2.4ghz radio????

I have a question. The velocity of those bbs in the tiger 2 are slower than an ordinary airsoft gun?

What about the do’s and don’ts ? Can it run in waters and mud ,sand? The charger plug is different in the USA. Can you get a usb cable to charge with? I want to get one, but a bit pricey. Can use a hot solider iron to make dents to give a battle look.

Mine won’t switch on the light flashes but that’s it. Before this it was fine although drained the battery quickly any ideas?

Can u please do a heng long sherman tank review

Hi, how important is it to get metal tracks, gears, idler etc.. is it worth the extra $$$$?

hey im wanting a rc 1/16 tank from Heng Long but can you do a comparison between all of the HL tanks so others and I can see all of them side by side.

ok thanks i was wanting to convert one to a Maus with my 3d printer and was wondering which would be the best tank to buy and convert, again thank you.

Got mine back in October. I upgraded it with metal tracks and upgraded to metal gear boxes and more powerful motors.

Do you know where to get a converter for the charger that fits North American outlets?

Great review as usual! I do have one question when it comes to the cartoonish amount of recoil this tank (as well as the Tiger 1) has built in, is there a way to either get rid of it all together or at the very least lessen it so it doesn't look like the tank just let loose with an 88mm sneeze?

Good video Steve!

Really enjoy your tank content! Just found your channel. But I notice not much tanks lately... Any particular reason you got out of tanks?

The plastic pellet fire, if it hit you close can even sting. The pellets are so small and travel so fast you can hardly see them fly. My living room rug is full of the yellow pellet. My brother and I both have Heng LONg tanks.

So when i want play this tank to out door, just remove the battery in to the body?

a friend of mine has one exactly like this, except it doesn't emits smoke from the oil deposit, are there any guides to change the resistance/heating element to make it work again? any help would be appreciated

Great review! Does this model come in. a professional version with metal tracks? Thanks! George

A remark about "weathering" a King Tiger. These beasts were in operaration for a very short time(very late in the war) and had a very limited mileage (fuel consumption ans fuel shortages). Most distance was traveled on railway cars. So they had no chance to get very weathered (time or mileage). My guess is that most of them wou;ld have looked "brandnew". In fact the right color might have been the "factory finish" yellow/beige base paint. There's a museum (I forget which one) that changed their King Tiger into the original factory finish yellow/beige base paint for that reason.

Does anyone know the screw sizes for holding the top to the bottom

When you have metal and plastic gears working together you mind as well just get an all metal gear box and motor assembly update because the metal gears on the motors will wear out the plastic gears very quickly.

I want to get this tank but i want to ask is banggood safe cuz i have been reading mixed reviews about it!

It sounds so meaty i love it lol

I ordered one of these, supposedly with most of the upgrades.49$? Was 99$. I can't wait to see what it really is.

All smoke units come filled from the factory, they wil work out of the box !

Hi. Does it have tension adjusters for the tracks?

I have the exact same one

What sort of oil is used for smoke

Hi, I got this tank to but I have the Henschel version and I weatherd it. And my camo isn’t the same

I like the is3

dude 120 dollars for this seriously! too good to be true!

The Porsche turret does look nice and lots of detail. shame it did not have the new control unit.

Be fun to take it out snake hunting tank and snakebattle

The upgrade version with steel gears tracks is on Amazon for 249$ is it worth it

it sucks that they dont offer this with the upgraded metal tracks and road wheels like you can get with the Tiger and most other of the Allied tanks. Some people buy these and then spend another $1000 on them to make them as realistic as possible. I'm looking for an infra red Tamiya grade battle tank to take part in comps and displays etc

bang belinya dimna?

How many times do you have to run it in order for it to start producing smoke

I really like the King Tiger, but ill rather go with the Henschel Turret... c'us dont like that Big Porsche Turret

What are the other options for the tank

the tiger 2 tank barrel can keep up with a shermin at full throtal and trout tern volocity of 365 dagres in 15 secnds my favret tanke ihad ne but my germinsheperd Destoed it!.

I know this is an old video but do you have a clue if the Heng Long metal gearbox from the abrams will work in my king tiger it’s tranny just broke today

Anyone know if this can work with my 1/18 scale action figures

Are the side skirts removable?

Just received the King Tiger from Heng Long in China. Because of regulations no fluid was included for the smoke. First tank. Video very helpful. Question, what is the oil of fluid used for the smoke?

Pay the extra $50 to get the upgrade profession version $230. Standard clastic motor drive 170. I have seen some sold for as much as $350. Some larger tanks cell for $2000 to $3000.

Hello I like your videos you do a very good job with great info Would you be interested in selling this king tiger version I am looking for one to buy with the Porsche turret

Good review. Looks too much like a toy for my tastes. Wish it had a better paint job.

They don't have the henschel turret do they?

Is this no a Tiger II?

Is it waterproof? Cause I want 1 and drive it through mud and clean it like a car 🚘

Do they have the panther iv

Is this pro version?

I have a far older model of this.. lets just say there are a lot of problems.. mine was made in 2013, June 27th.. Have the zinc gears, and well one side was riveted improperly, so the right track constantly jams and does not function very well...

Thank you ^^ AVI ☆☆☆☆☆ How Much?

Where can i buy this tank? I REALLY WANT ONE!!!!!

will you be getting, or do you have a T-34-85?

Hello everybody. About a week I have Heng Long King Tiger tank 1/16. BUT The proportional forward and backward is not working properly. At slow speed left side is faster that right side. At full speed the tank is turn a little in the left side... is that a problem with receiver or transmitter? Tanks a lot.

Not gonna burst your bubble here but that’s the Porsche turret. The Henschel turret is the king tiger turret

"Cool cat "

i would by instantly but im not sure if bang good is is sponsor or something

The lipo charger inclosed does not give a full battery charge to a 7.4 volt LIPO A full charge to a 7.4 liPO should be 8.4 volts when fully charged. The charger sent is a cell phone jack at 7.4 volts max. It also takes 8-10 hours charge time. Suggest an I MAX battery charger. Search on e-bay or Amazon.com .

love the tank but if i could afford one, which i cant, it would have to be the British Churchill tank i dont know why but ive always liked it.

the top machinegun is historical incorrect it must be a mg42 not the 34

I have problems with my smoke unit. It makes the should when I turn it on, but no smoke comes out. I always put smoke oil but nothing happens.

Sad thing about the king tiger is it was so heavy which made it so slow thats why they stopped producing them

5:04 Friendly fire on

How much this tank?

which is bigger in rc king tiger or tiger 1

Where can I get one?

Well, good for the allies that only 450 pieces were made.

Yeah what if I told yall porsche had nothing to do with the turret and its a common misconception
