Checkout the NEW model from NEW manufacturer, CoolBank / Tongde Models: the 1/16 Mk5 Centurion RC Tank.
In this video I run you through the spec of this awesome model of the famous British Battle Tank, take it out on maneuvers on army training land, give you my honest opinion on it, before comparing it to the other versions on offer from Tamiya and Haya.

I love how all you can see is the main gun preceding the tank as it enters the video frame. 👍
Thanks buddy. Glad you liked it
I agree on the battery placement. TD could do better if they have an accessible hatch for easy battery charging.
I 3d printed a battery box with a flap and cut a hole in the bottom of the hull. As they say, if it ain't broke.....
Don't mind can show how you do it on next video pls.@RCModelsandMods
I'm usually not a fan of military stuff, but I have to admit that this review is cool. (as usual) . The suspension seems to work well which brings realism to the model. Well done !
Cheers Sel! Glad you like it. I love scale details. A model like this has to have them or its not worth making.
Nice one James!
Excellent tank review. Great detail & scale features. Also a really effective trail run. Good job..! 👍
Cheers Guy! Glad you liked it

@@RCModelsandMods 🐼👍🏻
😊❤ nicely done
😎👍
Cool tank! I always likes the centurion👍 great to see more models in this scale coming out. I run my heng long leopard pretty hard and besides wearing out parts from use it hasn't let me down.
😎👍
nice review for this Rc tank, love the details. new subscriber here
Cheers buddy. Welcome to Club RCM&M 🤜 🤛
Spettacolare...molto performante...bel video ...grazie amico ... ciao dall'Italia
Grazie. Ciao Britania!
All these rebrand companies use henglong internals, the TK electronics are decent compared to the old ones, but if you want to perform better you'll probably need to invest in better boards and gearboxes
😎👍
Gtreat video 👍
Thanks man 👍
2 things I don't like and I see it with every 1/16 RC Tank except the Taigen Tiger I, the Track Recoil when the gun is fired which is annoying to see and No Barrel Recoil when the gun is fired, other than those two, that Centurion is really nice, I wish I could get one but it cost too much to be imported to the US.
Bang on there bro! I don't mind a tiny bit of track recoil, but definately needs gun recoil. Think they are releasing an upgrade to add it. 😎👍
I pre-ordered the Haya Centurion but I'm quite tempted to buy one of these to modify into an AVRE.
Thanks for the video
Hi. Good idea. I think the holes at the front are for an AVRE version in the future. I would like to get the Haya and CB side by side to see how they compare exactly.
@@RCModelsandMods How much did you pay for it and where did you buy it from?
I looked at DKLM but the shipping was extortionate and they also remove the battery as they send via air mail.
Hi. Links in the description
Got to do something with that repulgent bleb on the end of the gun barrel! what were they thinking with that one?
🤣👍
The cool bank did have recoil in the video? Not on the table of features though.
Anyway, fantastic video and a brilliant piece of music for the action scenes!
Thanks Simon. Yeah. Sorry for the confusion. Had limited space on the table with so many specs and 3 models. It meant barrel recoil, as opposed to vehicle kickback. Yep. The music had the perfect feel to it. 😎👍
Ah OK, it did cool things anyway for the money!
It will do even cooler things when I've finished with it
Hi, I am thx for your video, I bought a HL Leopard 2A6 7.0 basic with 5000mA battery. Love the stuff and want to buy one more; either Challenge II or M1A2, then suddenly I found Coolbank 2A7 and M1A2 and of course the Centurion. Who has a better tank; HL or Coolbank? You like HL 2A6 or Coolbank 2A7? How about M1A2? Is metal gearbox is necessary? Thx
Hi. Thanks. My pleasure. Metal tracks and wheels are a must if using outdoors. Would leave metal gearbox not so much. Coolbank and Henglong very similar. I like all of them. Too hard to choose.
didn't see anything ao upgrade Track ,idlers, drive wheels ext, love tank though upgrades ?
Hi. Hoping to get some metal upgrades soon, but have got a load of other parts. Just need to fit and film. Stay tuned buddy!
So how is this different to the Haya model? And the Tongde model?
Hi. It is the Tongde model, just sold under the Coolbank brand the Haya is higher spec and higher price; there's a comparison table in the video.
Hi. From what tank sounds does this tongde board comes in?
Hi. Sorry. What do you mean?
@@RCModelsandModsreferring to the sounds of the tank. What tank sounds is it from?
When you upgrading it
Hi Aaron. Good question. I have recorded bits for some of them but haven't finished. Had a bit of time away doing non-channel things for a while. Hopefully get some time to finish others soon. Thanks for watching.
Who did you buy it from. H ?
Hi. Sent you a link
Is this good quality?
Hi. I think there have been some quality issues with some models. Maybe this is due to Tongde making them for Coolbank. Hopefully things will improve when they have their own facilities. But I think you can get better spec tanks for around the same price, just not British ones. If you can afford twice the price, go for the Haya Centurion.
Why do ALL Rc tank reviews play really OTT bombastic background music ?
It is a bit cliche I suppose. But it does work. Next time I will put use some ABBA track
@@RCModelsandMods Well ok then. ABBA is cool. 😃
I think , mostly, people probably want to hear the sound system and , also , the sound the gearboxes make with the sound system turned off. That gives you some idea how well they are running, if they're running smoothly or are straining ect.
😎👍
