Overview
German Panzer III (H Type) Upgrade Edition 1/16 Scale Medium Tank RTR from Heng Long - HLG3849-001
The Panzer III was used in various German campaigns in Poland, France, the Soviet Union, and North Africa. The Ausf. H variant utilized the 50mm KwK 38 L/42 cannon, with bolt-on armor added to the front and rear hull. The Panzer III's strong, reliable, and durable chassis was also used as the basis for the turretless Sturmgeschütz III assault gun/tank destroyer, one of the most successful self-propelled guns of WWII.
By the end of the war in 1945, the Panzer III saw almost no frontline use, and many of them had been returned to the few remaining armaments/tank factories for conversion into ammunition carriers or recovery vehicles. A few other variants of the Panzer III were also experimented on and produced by German industries towards the last phases of the war, but few were mass-produced or even saw action against the encroaching enemy forces of the Americans, British and Soviets.
This Upgrade version features steel gears and plastic tracks for an economical balance between durability and weight. Heng Long has produced RC tanks for over 20 years, and their products offer an ideal starting point for new customers wanting to explore the world of RC tanks. All of Motion RC’s Heng Long 1/16 scale tanks utilize the latest TK7.0 MFCB for outstanding control, performance, playability, and upgrade potential!

Purtroppo al momento in cui ho ricevuto il prodotto sono risultati mancanti viti e gancetti per alcuni dettagli e l'idle wheel del lato sinistro risultava piegata, causando il deragliamento del cingolo.

I will use modeling putty to try and hold them on more securely. You cannot glue them as they also cover a small screw for the torsion bar. Other: I purchased the entry level model with plastic track and road wheels to see how the overall experience would be before buying a higher end version. I would assume if you upgrade to the metal track/roadwheels you won't have this issue. I tried the model in some sand, fine gravel. It is capable of running in this terrain, but the plastic track/roadwheels will eventually have an issue with wear. Better to keep the entry level model on cleaner surfaces. Overall: Very cool model that looks fantastic out of the box. To me a good value for money spent. Would I recommend: Yes, but if you know you want to run in sand/gravel/grass go ahead and spend the money for upgraded model.
