Overview
German Tiger 1 S33 Upgrade Edition 1/16 Scale Heavy Tank RTR from Heng Long - HLG3818-003
Able to penetrate the armor of Allied vehicles even beyond a typical engagement range, the German Tiger I's 8.8cm cannon earned a reputation for lethal, unmatched firepower. 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944. After this date, production of the Tiger I was phased out in favor of the Tiger II. This special edition from Heng Long depicts a specific S33 Tiger I tank that fought in the Battle of Kursk in 1943, embracing the legend of the Chinese character “Fu Tiger”.
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!

I liked it but was missing stuff
It was missing the applicator to put the fluid in the smoke portion. And now I had to order one and I’m afraid the smoke device doesn’t work well anymore

This tank is so much bigger then I expected and I am thrilled. If I had to gripe about anything it'd be the battery compartment cover as i got no nails but its still really good!
