Hi All - Just back from my local model show and I picked up a heng long M41A3 for a good price (I think!) Anyway it is missing the aerial for the transmitter and tank as well as the battery for the tank - can anyone suggest somewhere to get spare aerials please and advise what battery I need for the tank.

Many thanks

Wayne

Was that the H'West show?
Must get to a show down there
being Neyland born and now living
in Grimsby.
Hope we see some photos from the show.

battery is a 7.2 volt I think ampage what you can afford with a tamiya connector, the ariel, look on ebay under heng long there is loads of stuff for spares.

Thanks Klunk, I found the Tx aerial, but not the one for the tank, any ideas anyone please

Wayne

Ah found one, seems I don't know the local spelling of aerial (ariel!)

Standard battery fitted to the HL tanks is a 1700mah tamiya racing pack. This gives about 10mins run time with smoke and sound.  The boys have 3700s in theirs which gives a little over 20mins.


Be careful they are addictive.... Its easy to spend 100s on upgrades and details

Thanks E2V, I am in enough trouble for buying the tank (oh and two University Club yachts) so I will hold back for now anyway, some nice add-ons though!

Hi, I have two 7.2v  2500mAh packs with Tamiya plugs which I dont use. These would fit a 1:16 Heng Long tank. PM me if interested.

Hi guys,  how easy is it to convert my tank to run on 2.4ghz? Any guidance would be much appreciated

Thanks Wayne

This unit looks like a good upgrade. I have fitted twin speed controls, mixer, sound unit etc to a T34 tank in the past,  over £100 spent for a model I rarely used. This Taigen unit replaces all the electronics of the original tank and only costs £69.99. Next tank is having one of these fitted

with a quality radio you can do away with having to fit a mixer .

I have a planet T5, any guidance on how to do it would be appreciated please. I looked inside and its not just a matter of replacing the Rx as I hoped it would be

with a little setting up help from unbuilt my brother in law and myself have recently converted a panzer 2 , its now runnning two mtroniks viper 15 escs , the turrent now rotates being controlled from a small servo electronics , the turret up/down and gun fire use micro servos , im not sure whos sound card we fitted but its not the heng long one . the receiver is an orange one and its paired to a spektrum dx6i transmitter .

gobulawayo, you can't use the planet with the heng long rx-18 you need one of the aftermarket boards like a clarke board or a make, there are others, i'll try to get a couple of links up
