Heng Long M41A3 Walker Bulldog Getting Really Muddy!

- Yes!! Driving this tank through some proper mud!
I hope this video is useful to those who wish to see how these tanks actually perform in some real mud. Its also raining the whole time during the video, it got a bit wet. A bit of cleaning was definitely required after...
As mentioned in the video, the tank is (almost) standard from Heng Long - pro version; 2.4Ghz, metal tracks, sprockets and gearboxes.
Im using a 3300mah Nimh battery instead of the 1700mah Nicd that comes with it. I've also hand painted some of the detailing (including the sprockets) but that is all.
I did not check the tank before I started using it, which is probably why the sprocket wheel was loose - it caused the tracks to constantly ride wrong and jump off once or twice (the mud was also a big factor here).
I did have to pick it up once and tighten the sprocket wheel screws, at which point I also drove it around on the road a bit to clear some of the mud out before carrying on.
Cleaning afterwards is a must! Leaving the crap on it will rust the tracks and metal parts and seize up the rest (wheels and all), ruining the tank.
Apologies for the amateur camera work!
Wow... 😲
Cool toy man...
Wakes up the child inside me.
I tell u what: Don't worry about the tracks coming off the sprockets (cog). This is a real-world problem for the real tanks as well.
Thanks a lot! With some tweeking you can get them to run really nice 👍
That is a really cool looking tank I actually have One too just bought it and it is truly amazing the fine detail and just all the sound effects.
There is a lot of detail, I found it very easy and cheap to paint the accessories (shovels, pick axe etc.) as well as bits on the tank (gun barrel) and it makes it look sooo much better.
Walker is cool and a good price
Nice driving! I bought the same tank because of this video 👌
Oh god! Lol, how are you getting on with it? Well i hope, let me know if you run into any problems I might be able to help.
@@marcuskt1435 No problems so far! I mean tracks come loose a bit when running in deep like sand or mud but thats it! :D
@@RyuNoRizz good to know : )!
@@RyuNoRizzwonder if metal wheels with those trucks would help it?
Even though it is a toy tank I would not play in the mud and sand with it as it will wear the gearing down and cause problems
Most people wouldn't - which is why I made the video - what I wouldn't do is make a video of it driving around my house - everyone else does that. I'm quite happy and prepaerd to put in the extra care and maintenance work. If you're not prepared to do this then don't drive them offroad. And FYI the gearing/gearboxes are cheap and crap (the whole tank is really) - driving it on ANY surface will wear them out, they don't last that long anyway. It would be naive to think you can treat them like this without any problems if you're not going to put some extra effort into looking after it.
Cool.
did you water proof it or was that stock?
Nao mostra pro Lauriano. Ira querer um regimento.
Do you have a water in your car for cleaning caterpillar or tracks of your rc tanks after playing?
Shrewface 1 hehehehe ah 😁😁😂 we the same 😁😁😁😂😂😂
So sorry for long reply. No, I take a towel put on the seat. Put muddy tanks on towel and clean them at home :)
@@marcuskt1435 is this thing even waterproof? ik they dont like leaky smoke units.. lol
Nice
Thanks!
Hi Marcus have you done any thing to water proof the battery compartment underneath
i have just a second hand one runs great two problems i have is m/gun light is static
B/Bs wont fire of T/X will of out side power source would you happen to have a wiring
diagram please
It could be the main 'multifunction unit' in the middle. Here is a link with diagram of what each bit does wires will come from those bits to the parts that should work (turret and gun). Open up the tank check the connections with multimeter if you have one. Sorry Im not the best at diagnosing problems! www.ozarmour.com.au/store/electrical-stuff/heng-long-taigen/heng-long-rx18-multifunction-unit-with-receiver-bd.html
Cool thx for this sharing ,i would like to know sometihings about this product. i buy second hand this product but remote control and one pallet lost .is it possible" solve?
kamalrex1 thanks. Yes you can buy a remote seperately, but will also need to modify the reciever in the tank to match the remote. The remote should come with everything you need (including recirver for the tank)
thank you , ah ok i will try
I hope you washed her down afterwards !?
Of course, maintenance is key! I am releasing some more videos soon including how I clean them up afterwards, maintain parts etc.
how big and what is the length
53cm or sth like that
It’s 1/16 scale
Do this with the m1a2 abrams MBT :)
I want that one....
Did you get one yet?
@@imprezacabbit2309 I don't think so
go on its 200 300$
is there no provision for realistic speed control? i see harsh and unrealistic jearkiness, nothing slow or smooth at all
There probably is, I don't know. To be honest if you want something that moves and behaves more realistically you would be better off spending (a lot) more, and get a Tamiya or a Mato version (these are very realisitic, sound and movement) althought not sure Mato does a Bulldog (they definatly do the Tiger 1)
There are alot of opgrade for henlong tanks like traks, suspension, speaker, roadwhell, ect. The tank wit more asccesorie are the m1 abrams, challenger 2, leopar 2a4, t90, sherman tank, tiger 1 and 2 and the panzer tank. Athout the opgrades are not cheap for example a good track cost around 200
The tank does have proportional drive but its more skill based the turning can be jerky but again if you reduce the speed a bit it can act as a realistic tank. I have the same tank but would not drive it like this I do not want to kill it.
there is a speeed but it's really hard to use since u nearly use ur thumb
ㅜㅜ메탈궤도가빠지네요오오오오오~~
Just got T90 battle tank from hedge long metal version that tank tracks don't have your kind of traction on the track itself?.. with that said I'm really not too happy with it that receiver and the ESC is cheap along with the controller I need a $400 battle-tank you should have some good quality ESC and some brushless motors in it I'm not really too happy but it was a gift to my sexy butt..lol all metal version T90 1/16, does it really have to be so loud I think the sound is stupid, just in general the sound is stupid, how you want to listen to my tank and it has sounds on it dot-dot. With that said the battery it came with lipo but there's no balancer on it it's a two cell is it possible for any feedback bro
Nice video thank you for sharing my bad LOL
So sorry for the delayed reply, if this is any use. I think if your after a $400 tank you should look for another make lol, I think Heng Long are probably one of the cheapest crappest you can get. Tamiya make far more realistic models, that move more smoothley and slowly, have those things your on about (I think) and are generally far more realistic. Also I think each tank has the tread pattern that the actual tank in real life has on the tracks hence why they are all different, some are more effective than others (I also have a Tiger 1, which seems far more grippy than Bulldog) Hope this helps if it is at all still relevant
Cool! i just rebuilt mine after it sat for 4 years! check out my channel.
yip
1:53 excelent
Cut the metal track...
u meant clean it only a set of 2 can cost u 50$
