hi from New Zealand, good video thank you, just bought one after watching this, she looks very nicely assembled, this is my 3rd heng long and have to say Im pleased overall with the tanks, I did need to tighten a lot of wheel screws and adjust tracks and grease one side of the gearbox on the Tiger pro version, (some quality control issues still) shes a bit to heavy for her own good, but once sorted goes beautifully, one just has to understand they will pickup rocks, grit, grass and dirt, which can cause a track to come off just like on the full size tanks eh? but for the price they are very good value, but dont buy one unless you are prepared to look after it, heng long have come a long way, happy hobbies to you all.... ( Tank Girl)
Still the best MBT in the world.....bar none.....God save the King!!!!
Never was the best mbt, abrams on top
@@jordanoliveto5863 lmao ok buddy.
@@jordanoliveto5863keep believing buddy 😂
The challenger won the nato tank challenge recently. Uk crew beat all comers including us abrams and leopard 2 etc. main issue is uk doesnt have enough of them. I think its only 187 tanks or close to that!
I been watching and wanting this one for some time now. I guess it's time to pick one up once they're in stock.
Great video! Straight up honest: I could not live with the factory paint jobs .They just look so....like a toy. To put all that money in on these amazing RC tanks and leave them painted like that is a disservice as they are so easy to paint and weather that it's really worth it, and, damn fast to do since they are so big. One rattle can, one medium bottle of tamiya panel weathering. a day or two later.(only for letting the paint dry) Wow. Wish I could paste an image here!
I have 5 tanks, repainted all and weathered. Great if you don't want to spend two weeks assembling like a Tamiya kit. Just crack on modding and repainted, the fun bit.
great job on your review. can't wait till you get stock.
Nice review, I think I’ll get one as my birthday gift for myself. Thanks for the tips.
Love these RC tank videos
man you gotta promote these henglong tanks across the states asap! I can't wait to have a RC tank club in my town.
they are coming. Corona got everything a bit out of whack, but they are on the way
Bloody hell that tank is massive
I do have the Challenger II, prior model, and I noticed the plastic pieces both front and back pop off when running around. I lost a couple of pieces already, so my advice is to glue them on. If something breaks, well glue it on again. It is big and does make a presence and is enjoyable to run around outside. Stay away from small twigs and things cause they get caught up in tracks and make a mess with the drive train.
do you have a leopard 2 as well?
I plan to collect and do a modern Tank collection , the Russian T90 and the Challenger are my favorite , want to mod them also with new Clark boards for sound and change the screws to magnets and so on.
Great paint scheme I have had mine for a good couple of years and it is plain desert paint they look much better with the shading detail picked out I may do that with mine, j Also just glued all small bits in place as afraid of losing them
Wow, how many tanks do You have? Great video. Congratulations from Brazil.🤗🙏
Neat...I wish that Heng Long would make a Centurion
Or Chieftain......
they should make some LAVs or something aswell
Also Please include the South Korea K1&K2 Black Panther, Russia T14 Armata&T90 MS, Israel Merkava Mk.4, Japan Type 90&Type 10, France Leclerc, Ukraine Oplot M, China VT 4, Turkey Altay, Poland PT 91&PL 01, India Arju, European MBT combination of Leclerc&Leopard 2 or combination of Challenger 2&Leopard 2, etc.
Or Churchill mkI
Kpz 70 and 50t are nice too but think the maus wuold go to sale a lot (not really my opinion)
Another great video. I like big tanks that have a big presence. I have the Leo 2. How does the Challenger 2 compare in size.
AnyhooMy Chally 2 is the green/black version, and goes by the name of "Nemesis". Have upgraded to the "Pro" standard (full metal running gear, metal tracks/rubber pads & metal gearboxes). A big old beast, but great fun and very impressive when running😜
awesome tank! can it be connected to an OpenTX transmitter like the Radiomaster TX16S?
Question, i just placed an order of this tank the upgraded version NOT the professional ver. Am I getting a tank with the same paint finish/ weathering just like in this video, or am I getting a plain colored tank? I would really like to know thanks
Hey just wondering. When do you think they will be in stock
Any update on when these will be back in stock?
Hi there, nice review, when you turn the tank in place with the turret still - it that a feature or are you manipulating both controls? Either way looks great amd scale.
All movements are independent of each other. You can drive it, or rotate turret or elevate and depress the boom independently. Its fun to try and manipulate them all at once for that scale appeal
I know you can change the tracks but will you still prefer the model that comes with the rubber tracks all the metal tracks?
if you "can" improvised by adding custom made cosmetic to make it look like challenger 2 atdu or I wonder they made one too
This honestly is perfect, everything is great about it worth the price (im curious if it can perform well in normal offroad like dirt hill small and medium or just dirt and grass) maybe the suspension wuold look more realistic if it was heavier.
Heng Long should bring out the French B1 heavy tank I would love to get my hands on one of those
I agree
Bom vídeo, parabéns. Eu tenho o Charllenger II e curto muito. Agora consegui encontrar sites com peças para fazer up grades, muito bom e estou pensando em adquirir o T90.
Could you possibly please let me know the site you use. Many thanks Martin
How do u open the smoke covers? mine won’t budge at all and i dont want to break them
edit: they’re glued but I don’t know who glued them or why.
also, is there a way of disabling the BB function. I only use the IR system and i hate how the BB mechanism delays the “firing”.
Now what it needs is Dorchester package or the ATDU Megatron package.
Now we are talking!
What’s the dimensions of the main chassis? Length and width not including the gun?
Great review there. Among all of the tank, which one do you think is the biggest and worth it?
leopard 2a6
Good afternoon, do you ship to Peru - South America?
I am building the C2 at the moment. The instructions are dire. Can anyone tell me what three rectangular slots on top/back of the current are for?
Motion Rc pls listen to this
I love the flakpanzer gepard and it would look so cool as heng long is there a way I could ask them to consider it bc I love the gepard
Hey mate how many H/L tanks do you have? witch one is the strongest out of the box in the standard versions, I recently purchased the Pershing and the Walker Bulldog, I want more hahaaha
we will receive our first order of these in early february and we will have 13 tanks available each in 2 versions, head to Motion RC.com to see whats coming
what is the other tank at the end of your video?
Smoothbore cannons will always be more advantageous than rifled ones. The smoothbore cannons are just as accurate as rifled cannons, they can fire more variations of ammunition, and they have longer lifespans than their rifled counterparts. The British army is actually planning on replacing their existing rifled tank cannons with smoothbore cannons.
Rifled cannons provide HESH with the best attributes for any HE based round and provides better anti building and infantry capabilities than HE-FS, HE-MP or omni purpose HEAT. But yeah the UK should hopefully swap over the the L/55 when the MOD updates the challenger 2.
Maybe so, but the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
@@zhaoyun3153 only for anti tank purposes, and for the most part the days of tanks fighting tanks are over, why would you send an abrams to attack a t90 when you could not risk your tank and use a TOW, apache or just drop a guided munition from a jet, none of which risk your multi million dollar tank or its crew.
@@alpha1games Because that is what a tank is designed to do, fight other tanks. Otherwise, what is the point in having the damned thing if it isn't going to fulfill it's purpose? Not to mention, when you send an attack helicopter or a multi-purpose jet, you risk losing them to enemy weapons as well. Losing an apache or a warthog, honet, strike eagle or falcon is even more expensive and consequential than losing an abrams. Just because tanks battles are rare these days doesn't mean that they can't happen.
@@zhaoyun3153 an mbt is designed for multipurpose use, primarily combined arms, and when you send in a tank to fight another afv it's far more vulnerable than an apache firing a longbow hellfire and leaving within a very short period of time, instead of having a drawn out long range battle in which the armoured vehicles are slugging it out with the possibility of getting out flanked, And majority of places where modern mbts have seen combat have fought against other tanks, the foes they've been against have been using dated equipment that could be destroyed using older tanks, such as 73 easting. Why would you purposely put troops in danger just because tanks in ww2 expected to see Armoured foes?
Just so you know, the shape of the Challenger you see, is not the actual shape of the armour. I know because I was a mechanic in the British Army who worked on CR1 and 2.
Hi where can I get the infer red for battle for my tanks?
it comes with it
I cant pick which is better the abrams or the challenger😑
go for the chally, it has a much better quality compared to the henglong abrams.
May I correct you RTR means Royal Tank Regiment not ready to run - Challenger 2 RTR👍
👍👍
Body made iron or plastic
It has octopus eyes protruding out. Jo
Smoke
______
BB.
Which one is better? Russian T90 vs UK Challenger II? GO!
go for the chally 2, much bigger and has better suspension travel
Are the tracks rubber, plastic or metal?
plastic, I think.
@@LockheedC-130HerculesOfficial Thx man :)
I’m gonna try to use this in a airsoft game :)
Takes more than an hour if you do a good job.
Me=hmm i'm gonna buy it :D
Go to website and out of stock
Me= ah c'mon man
The Smoke Generators on these are questionable at best.
for some reason the covers on my challenger 2 smoke vents are glued down, how to open them?
Recoil from the main armament could be better
Where and how can I buy one lol
motionrc.com, link in the description
@@MotionRCgot one thanks mate, Just waiting for it to come!
@@MotionRCmanaged to get one sorted here in Belfast but I did put an order in for exactly what I was looking for a barrel net and cover. Thanks this page got me into this hobby!
Heng Long should make the new Russian T-14 Armata. 🇷🇺
Fpv
In
These paint schemes are no where near accurate
Hi. So what tank was your favourite
Another great video. I like big tanks that have a big presence. I have the Leo 2. How does the Challenger 2 compare in size.
Thanks for watching. Challenger would be a little larger as this whole line is 16 scale so the challenger is a bit bigger in real life.
@@MotionRC cool thanks, looks like the Challenger 2 is next. What about the size of the Abrams compared to the Leo and Challenger? I know they're 1/16, I've got 3 Heng Longs and an OG Tamiya King Tiger. I did have a HL King Tiger, and the size and molding were almost identicle.
