You run the tank like a crawler and run down some stairs.

@@warshipalbum can you elaborate on your alloy comment? Would like to know more.

@@KYTANKGUY Play it softly.

@@KYTANKGUY Aluminium is just weak, its cool but just a toy, more a functinal modell. I build my whit 2mm steal, a 125cc engine, weld it all together etc. My wie weight aboute 100 - 120 kg, be 1,20 m long, 60cm wide, 70cm high. I thing youre small modell is just the start for a much bigger project.

@@diverspudph I did make one of the tracks slip the drive sprocket, so I’ve got to fix that. Couple of paint scapes. That’s about it.

Thanks for responding!

@@DaytonDempsey-x3z YES! Would be nice if someone besides Hooben and Tamiya made one. I’d even take a m4a3 upgrade kit to turn it into an e8.

@ Besides the size and being all metal, there are surprisingly few differences. -the commanders cupola rotates, but the CITV does not -there are some hatches on the back of the chassis that open with the 1/8 that do not with the 1/16 -I believe the drivers hatch opens, but it feels stuck. -all of the handles are actual handles and not molded out of the chassis or turret -the gunners sight doors open and close Just about everything else is the same, but you know all metal, and heavy. Same mistime recoil, same not great sound set, exact same transmitter. The Airsoft gun uses 9mm pellets, which I can’t seem to find anywhere else, and also the range actually seems a little worse than the 1/16 models. I wonder if they used the exact same plunger system that’s in the 1/16, now it’s trying to push a 9mm ball instead of a 6mm ball, so the range isn’t great. I’ll find that out soon. Because it’s all metal, the tow points can actually be used to tow stuff.

@ thanks for answering, I’ll love to have one when it selling in my country . Believe that BIG SCALE BIG REALISTIC.

@@keith91z28 So I really love the Abrams, and I think because of this I am happy. However there are some issues I wish they could have fixed. -range on the Airsoft gun is lacking compared to some 1/16 models -sound set is the same from 1/16, which is incorrect to begin with -they made the commanders cupola rotate, which is cool, but not the CITV, which is weird because on the modern variants of the tank the cupola is now welded in place while the CITV rotates 360° -barrel recoil timing is incorrect just like the 1/16 models. Also the barrel recoils into itself instead of the manlet, just like the 1/16 HL Abrams. -the antenna on the turret are pretty poorly made. -no glass in any of the the periscopes -no cupola machine guns, spare parts, turret generator, or combat ID panels -for the price it would’ve been nice if they had included an option to be able to use your own 8 channel receiver/transmitter instead of the standard HL transmitter. All this being said, I cannot deny how cool having a 130 lb full metal Abrams is. Pictures and video do not do the scale justice. Also there are tons of WWII 1:6 models out there by ArmorTek, and they have done some early Leopard variants, but no one else out there is doing an Abrams in 1/8 or 1/6 scale right now, so this is pretty much your only choice unless you design it yourself. A lot of the above issues I can fix, it’s just for the price I feel like I shouldn’t have to. Something to consider between the their Abrams and their Tiger I with respect to speed. Their 1/8 Tiger I used a 24v battery, the 1/8 Abrams uses a 36v. Their 1/6 Tiger also uses a 36v, but also weighs 88 pounds more than the 1/8 Abrams, so their Abrams is probably their fastest model, which I clocked today at 4.94 MPH. If you have a need for speed.

@@warshipalbum I actually have their 1/16 scale Abrams, but it’s in pieces right now awaiting detailing and paint. I’m not sure if there’s a way to update a video on TH-cam with a picture. I’ll put a picture of a 1/16 scale tank in with the next video I post of it. Pictures and video don’t really convey the size of this tank accurately, it’s seems huge in person.

You can get a sense of its size within the first minute. Look at how big it is compared to that park bench. And you can just visualize a person sitting on that bench and see how large the tank is.

Oh. It is all metal and expensive. I think is special order .

@@warshipalbum @ Yes, I ordered it late September, Shipped via boat mid October, and arrived December 19th. It was a long wait.

@@KYTANKGUY You are a rich rich man . Excellent

@@old12bravo23 Yeah the sound set is wrong, I think it’s for a Leopard. There might be a way to switch it to a turbine sound set using the remote, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. But also, if you could do that, you think they would’ve done that before they shipped it? We will see.

@@old12bravo23 So it did have the option to switch between Leopard 2A6 and M1A2, but it still doesn’t sound right to me. I have the HL 1/16 Abrams with a better MFU in it that has a proper M1A2 sound set, the HL does not sound like that.

@@warshipalbum Relatively new? It came with a Henglong advertisement book that described this model as “Coming Soon”. So new enough that they haven’t redone their catalogue? They do a 1/8 Tiger I and a 1/6 Tiger I as well.

@KYTANKGUY Thanks

@@William-l7z Nah, it’s a big draw. I could hear people stopping there talk about it with whoever they were with, unlike a lot of the other tanks. For good or ill, I think there’s something iconic about this tank. Are there any other museums in America that have one? Speaking of restoring, they were in the middle of restoring a Jagdpanther in one of the garages near the museum. They were restoring it when I was there last in September 2023 too. At least it had moved from one garage to another in a years time.

Hi you dit use on one Video a FPV Receiver from Foxeer on youre RC Tank. Can you make a video pls showing it ? I do have the Foxeer Reaper Infinity V2 (Version 2 ) 5W VTx. But i cant change the PIT Mode or the Out put power of 1 Watt. The signal is realy bad, not even 2 meters are working whit that reciever of Foxeer. My cheaper standard one RC832 makes no problem. Is there something i do wrong ? I dit read and do as the manuel told, but it always restards after trying to change the out put power.

Yeah he hase extreme 7 cameras installed, he atleast needs 3 switchers to manage that, or he dit build hes own model.
