I have 10 HENG LONG RC tanks,and this is the best one. Taigen is the premium version of HENG LONG. Super low gearing gives it s-l-o-w to medium-fast, very smoothly with no hesitation. Proportional speed and steering too! Super heavy metal. Turret and top of hull are still plastic, but tracks and wheels and gears and chassis are all metal. Many custom small metal parts also. It's expensive but worth it if your're into WW2 German tanks. TANKMAN.

I recently purchased this as my first RC tank for $259.99. I have been impressed with it so far. From what I can tell, this Taigen Tiger is basically a Heng Long Tiger with lots of upgrades and a snazzy paint job. Some of the nice features include:
1. Very nice paint job on the tank. The figure is painted as well.
2. The tank has metal tracks, wheels, machine gun accessory, gears, and metal hull. The hull of the tank is metal but has a plastic shell around it (I believe it is the Asiatam hull). So except for the bottom of the tank (or if you open it up) you are not actually seeing or touching the metal. For some reason, I thought the whole exterior of the hull would be metal too, but this is not the case. However, the important thing is that the metal hull is connected to the wheels, gears, and other accessories inside. Thus, the structural element of the tank is metal, and thus should be durable.
3. This tank is very heavy!!!!AWESOME! If you want to...Read more

Yes as I read the only review I was skeptical. yes on the single review the instructions that came with the tank were of a previous model.This tank is updated model unfortunately the instructions were not.This made a little difficulty on the internal controls of the tank to the remote control.Problems were solved with a couple of calls to the hobby store that sells this product through Amazon. They really stand behind the product.As far as the visual aspect of the tank its very realistic.Just like the picture but only better.I am very pleased with this product as it offers good value for what it has.I have looked at other 1:16th scale tanks,But this is the best for those that want the most realistic tank.By the way with the metal tank tread ,and the other metal the tank weights in at approx. 23 pounds.A good product.
