This review is from: Snow Leopard M26 Pershing WWII RC Smoking & Sound 1/16 Radio Remote Control Airsoft Battle Tank (Toy) This is the 2nd Heng Long Tank I have owned, the other being a Panzer III and they are both great running tanks right out of the box. This is an excellent first Tank for anyone wanting to get into RC Tanks but doesn't want to spend a lot of money upfront. Its a newer revision so it comes with Metal Gearboxes and the Heng Long RX18 board which is the best they offer.
Stay away from the non smoke & sound tanks as they have very weak boards in them as well as nylon gears with only 2 speeds. RX18 allows for 10 proportional speeds & can take a lot more Amps before they burn up, if driven correctly they will last several years.

This review is from: Snow Leopard M26 Pershing WWII RC Smoking & Sound 1/16 Radio Remote Control Airsoft Battle Tank (Toy) Heng Long makes some nice tanks! They're a nice size, highly detailed, very realistic, and you can get them at a reasonable price, unlike Tamiya. However, they aren't without their issues. Mine had a defective smoke unit and one of the caterpillar drive sprockets came off due to a stripped out screw hole. The seller sent me the parts and I repaired the tank myself. I enjoy tinkering and didn't mind at all. All in all I'm very pleased. But Heng Long needs to be more quality control observant. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: By = Durability: This review is from: Snow Leopard M26 Pershing WWII RC Smoking & Sound 1/16 Radio Remote Control Airsoft Battle Tank (Toy) I ordered this tank for my son and it has none of the sounds that it is supposed to have. Called the company Amazing Tech Depot and they are of zero help said I could pay to send it back and they would work on it and determine what could be done. It could take weeks.... well I opted to keep it without the sounds that was stated it had and NO smoke because he could drive it and it did shoot the BB but it was pretty crappy to get something that has none of the main selling features I wanted. |
