I bought one of these recently. It's my first RC tank and I'm very pleased with it. This review really helped me make the decision to buy it, thanks! Instead of double sided tape I used Blu Tack to fix all the accessories to the tank - no wobble :-)
@@Always-Decent still going strong. I upgraded to a metal gearbox and metal tracks, and added a few aftermarket bits and pieces and decals. I didn't need to do any of this, but just wanted to. Did you get one in the end?!
i have this tank, i have had it for just over a year, incredible piece of equipment, one thing to not is, if you lose power suddenly but the battery is fully charged you might have kinked a wire in the battery slot, so what youll have to to is leave some space for wires and screw it shut very loosely, great video as always!
Nice model with a ton of accessories. One comment on construction - the .50 called is mounted backwards on the pintle. As installed it could not be elevated for AA purposes.
I have just bought the 1/16 Sherman and am extremely impressed with all of the features including smoke, selectable sound and recoil when the tank fires. The accessories for stowage blow me away. Smaller scale model kits do not come with this much customisation. I also the the Heng Long Tiger One series 6, and the two are beautiful scale models. I have a large collection if 1/35 and 1/76 scale armour, and these take pride of place,
AWESOME, love this Tank so much i had to buy 2 of them and soon buy another one to convert it to the FURY Tank, Bud this is a Awesome channel i watched your videos before and you made me start my RC Tank Hobby with my son too, Cheers Motion RC
Thanks for the review, I just purchased two of thes one for me and my son, this is my absolute favorite HL tank, the detail is excellent, and the classic profile of the Sherman is just legendary what a beautiful model, thanks again for the review , can you do another vid on the H L T34/85, thanks bud.
It did better against Tiger Is than the 75mm variants before it, though. That big ol' HE shell, if the gunner aimed right, was pretty damn good at busting holes in Tiger roofs and setting them on fire. also pretty good at disabling them via blasting the tracks off.
I also recently got a Sherman and have installed one chain link on each side and it drives a little better and more realistically than before, although you have to keep in mind that the chains on almost every RC model are much too tight and this causes them to relax can be like the Panther or Jagpanther, the sagging of the chains alone looks more realistic than with a tensioned chain!

Bought one of these before Xmas nd im well chuffed with it I was that chuffed I bought the tiger so me nd the grandson can battle in the garden....Happy days 😂😊
Great video! Thank you for the review. One question I have is, how difficult is it to get parts for if something breaks? I like the models just not familiar with the brand. Thank you.
But I do give you 5 thumbs up for your quick response to the review that is always a good thing..👍👍👍👍👍.. as for the Sherman tank itself I give it 5 thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍.. next I would like to see the hooben 1/16 scale tanks review
Thanks buddy. The Heng Long tanks are great for the price range they reside. Lots of features, great looks and many various models. Heng Long loves all tanks and only a matter of time before they make more. We are excited to get our first batches in later this month and help them continue to grow further.
Thanks for the video. I just bought one for my son and we are waiting for the battery to charge. A maintenance videos would be great along with some of the other features. Maybe that is in a different video. The English in the instructions leaves a little to be desired.
Can anyone identify what sound this tank is using at 5:30? Is it actually Sherman sounds? Im new to the hobby and I bought a modified heng long tiger 1 and it sounds identical to this Sherman at 5:30, but I’m not so sure it’s the right sound for a Tiger. I’m also not sure if my modified version can change sounds without reprogramming.
Being they are all 1/16 scale, the Sherman is the one of the smallest of the tanks (like real life). It is 14 1/2 inches long and 6 1/2 inches wide and about 8 inches tall with the gun on top
Hopefully this isn't too late lol. Get the metal tracks, they will last longer and break less frequently. I heard they have less grip, but it's still worth it. The plastic ones are just not as durable
The United States Army Ordnance Department designed the M4 medium tank as a replacement for the M3 medium tank. The M3 was an up-gunned development of the M2 Medium Tank of 1939, derived from the M2 light tank of 1935. The M3 was developed as a stopgap measure until a new turret mounting a 75 mm gun could be devised. While it was a big improvement when used by the British in Africa against German forces, the placement of a 37 mm gun turret on top gave it a very high profile, and the unusual side-sponson mounted the main gun, with limited traverse, could not be aimed across the other side of the tank. Though reluctant to adopt British weapons into their arsenal, the American designers were prepared to accept proven British ideas. These ideas, as embodied in a tank designed by the Canadian General Staff, also influenced the development of the American Sherman tank. Before long American military agencies and designers had accumulated sufficient experience to forge ahead on several points. In the field of tank armament, the American 75 mm and 76 mm dual-purpose tank guns won the acknowledgment of British tank experts.[16] Detailed design characteristics for the M4 were submitted by the Ordnance Department on 31 August 1940. Still, the development of a prototype was delayed while the final production designs of the M3 were finished and the M3 entered full-scale production. On 18 April 1941, the U.S. Armored Force Board chose the simplest five designs. Known as the T6, the design was a modified M3 hull and chassis, carrying a newly designed turret mounting the M3's 75 mm gun. This would later become the Sherman
I was in the 3/73rd Armor/ 82nd Airborne back in the day. Yeah, I'm old! It would be awesome to see a M551 Sheridan. The only Airborne Tank. I would buy it in a heart beat. Can you request that model?
Im thinking about getting one of these.I saw one from Amewi and i want to know if there is a difference between heng long and Amewi. It would be nice to know that since they look the same and all but these different names just make me worry
There is a smoke button on the transmitter that turns the smoke unit inside on and off. It also comes with a bottle of smoke oil to refill when the smoke runs out.
@@karlascott3569 Always refer to the manual, but the smoke oil always enters from the exhaust location. The smoke oil comes in a dropper, so just refill by adding a few drops down the hole where the smoke comes out.
Tamiya tanks are considered the top shelf end of 1/16 scale RC tanks. The price of that will reflect that. We carry some Tamiya's and the comparable Heng Longs are around 5-6 times less the cost. Not a good comparison really
I got most of the tanks up to the t95 release. All airsoft, all clark board, smoke system matches engine rpm. My prized one is my kingtiger all metal drive line, unreal heavy.
There are 2 buttons on the transmitter that you press to fire and if loaded with 6mm airsoft bb's, it will fire them. Or if you attach the IR receiver and have a second tank, they will fire at each other and record hits etc.
@@satyanpatel6403 super glue destroys paint and can't be easily removed. My hot glue gun was 40 watts, so not majorly powerful. I mean, super glue is good for the details that had pre drilled holes, but the "optional" things like ammo boxes, drums, spare wheels, and the bags just made more sense to use hot glue. Hope that helps

@@Always-Decent Still amazing, but there are better ones. This one is my favorite though, because it is also my first tank.
@@Merc69420 What model would be a better one? Just curious, bcs I'm orientating for a first tank.

For the price of these Tanks I'm blown away at the detail included. Going to be fun to further customize
AWESOME, love this Tank so much i had to buy 2 of them and soon buy another one to convert it to the FURY Tank, Bud this is a Awesome channel i watched your videos before and you made me start my RC Tank Hobby with my son too, Cheers Motion RC
Can you post a picture of your Fury tank somewhere?
Brilliant ,ordered myself one of these for Xmas lol😂 it comes tomorrow can't wait.

This is the 105mm howitzer version. Mostly used for short range bunker busting and clearing infantry as it shot HE shells primarily.
It did better against Tiger Is than the 75mm variants before it, though. That big ol' HE shell, if the gunner aimed right, was pretty damn good at busting holes in Tiger roofs and setting them on fire. also pretty good at disabling them via blasting the tracks off.
@@TestECull and giving them brain damage with the big ol' *BONK*
I can live to breathe in the fumes from this tank everyday.
use real diesel for smoker fuel
Were do u put the areasol for the smoke in the m4a3.105 sherman??
I own a Sherman myself. Definitely a must have.
Looks like a winner, nicely done MRC,Jeff in LA USA
I have about 18 of Henglong tanks. The Sherman shoots the best!!
12:18 history memories of ww2 tank tanker 😊
I like all the Heng Long tanks. For the money, you can't beat them. In some ways they are even better than the Torro's that cost 3 to 4 times as much.
I noticed the hull machine gun is now movable-according to your vid. that's Awesome.
This thing is awesome my dad got one for Christmas!
Requires 6 aa batteries.
Me, again: Really? Fritz, are you sure? Last time u told me we needed 6 aa batteries, we only used one
hahaha
I wonder, how well would it work if you used one battery?
I would like to make a Pacific war variant of this and drive it on the side walk at the beach
I love the Sherman as well. Good tank and oh yea was on the winning side. Enough said.
I also recently got a Sherman and have installed one chain link on each side and it drives a little better and more realistically than before, although you have to keep in mind that the chains on almost every RC model are much too tight and this causes them to relax can be like the Panther or Jagpanther, the sagging of the chains alone looks more realistic than with a tensioned chain!

Great but your website doesn't have any HL tanks in stock.
We only just announced these were coming to our website for the first time. Our first shipment arrives in early February
@@MotionRC Awesome, looking forward to being able to buy these tanks from a US seller.
I got one and love driving it
How is it still holding up?
Very nice tank I will be getting a Sherman tank soon
I need a Sherman!!
I want a Sherman!! -borntoolate
Converted mine to a type Firefly....with all the goodies ..luvleee!
What did you do for the barrel?
1of my favorites... :). Just curious-how much runtime on average do these tanks get?
15-20 minutes from what I see on a the 1800 2s it comes with. But the battery hatch on this tank can easily fit a pack double that size.
Motion RC - Cool. Sounds great. Thank you. 😊
I upgraded Batteries to 2600 and 3300mah. I get an hour.
Love this just bought the same me gona try and do it like the Fury !
Awesome review 👏 👍
What RC Tank is in the background (Emerald greenish/solid color) at the Conclusion 8:42 just behind the Sherman you are showcasing?
KV-1 its an soviet Russia tank
Goofiest looking tank of the war! So American and I love it!
hahahaha. It worked for what was needed!
If only I could buy one

How do you add smoke oil? Please help

Can you put larger tracks on this tank
how big is the tank itself cause i looked on your store page but it looked like it was taslking about the box it comes in

Motion RC alright cool
Motion RC do you have an ETA on when they’ll be in stock
I'd paint mine yellow, because thats how I want it :)
Does the Sherman have suspensions similar to the real one?
They try to be as scale as possible within the limits of 16th scale.
Ok, thanks! I will consider getting the German tiger 1
please do a review of the kv-1 and t-72
Where did you put the ammo of the tank.?
I’m trying to decide to get this or the Pershing🤔Any pointers?
Both have the same feature and functionality. Which do you prefer?
Hi MotionRc are Plastic tracks good or bad because im planning on getting the m4a3 and im afraid the tracks and driving wheel are gonna break
Hopefully this isn't too late lol. Get the metal tracks, they will last longer and break less frequently. I heard they have less grip, but it's still worth it. The plastic ones are just not as durable
@@cptyolowaffle ight thanks for the reply really needed to know that

Is it possible to get the metal tracks in 2022? I can't seem to find the metal tracks anywhere.

Hi motion rc does your sherman gives red light on the side of the barel when shooting balls?
They all should shine a red light when shooting
Hello there, does the tank comes with the "mushroom" IR receiver? I just receiver mine and couldn't find it... thanks
ヘンロンのＭ４Ａ３シャーマンはとてもありがたい製品ですが、
１０５㎜榴弾砲なのですよね、
確かＭ４シリーズの１０５㎜榴弾砲は手榴弾１つで撃破されるＭ７プリーストの後継機で戦車部隊ではなく自走砲科だったと記憶してます。
なので７５㎜砲タイプのＭ４Ａ３シャーマンに改造しましたが、
やはりヘンロンから普通に７５㎜砲タイプを発売して欲しいですね。
私等初期型のシャーマンが好きなのでヘンロン製シャーマンを３輌購入し、
２輌は通常の後期型７５㎜砲に、
１輌は更に改造して初期型Ａ３シャーマン(７５㎜砲)に改造してしまいました。
それに伴いＢＢ弾挿入口を逆にできず、
やむを得ずＢＢ弾発射機能は潰しましたが幸いヘンロン製は発射アクションの機能が有るので楽しむ事は出来ますので。
他にも大戦中のアメリカ戦車を幾つか出して欲しいと切に願います。
Where is this RC produced?
Mine doesn’t have a on or off button on the bottom of the tank?
Nice and any idea of when you will have this back in stock?? Would like to have one to battle the Tiger 1 I just purchased from your company.
We are trying to get more asap. but these sold out much faster than anticipated for our first run
I have the tiger1, the Sherman gonna b next tank I buy..I like the sticky tape idea.. but I would just glue the add-ons .. but way cool vid ..
I was in the 3/73rd Armor/ 82nd Airborne back in the day. Yeah, I'm old! It would be awesome to see a M551 Sheridan. The only Airborne Tank. I would buy it in a heart beat. Can you request that model?
We could, but Heng Long has been around a long time. They certainly want to eventually make every tank if they can, but 1 at a time
I think Tamiya makes a Kit, quite complex but nice for the M551.
Bro how you to do stick?!??? I can’t do that!
Do you need glue to put the parts in?
I would. I've lost a couple parts because I didn't glue them in
Im thinking about getting one of these.I saw one from Amewi and i want to know if there is a difference between heng long and Amewi. It would be nice to know that since they look the same and all but these different names just make me worry

im sorry to be a nitpick but the roof mg is mounted the wrong way
The M4A3 packed a bigger engine, which generates 500 HP, as opposed to the standard 400 HP on the M4A0 vehicle.
This is an M4a3 105
which means its an m4a3 with a 105mm Howitzer
You mention upgrading it to a firefly. How would I do that ? Wanting to make FURY!
How can I get the fire fly model
