Status: offline 		Wanted to post a few pictures of the Hailang 1/6 hummer after cutting some of the front bumber down to a more manageable size.I think overall it is a neat looking hummer,although mabe not correct compaired to the real thing.(YES i KNOW IT HAS A GUN ON THE ROOF),but it shoots good and strong and traverses better than any of my tanks.Wish it had a good control and steering versses the typical cheap Heilang control.

P.S. Those shinny rims have got to go,need to get some matching paint though.[)]

They are pretty well made except for the control.It shoots the airsoft BB's just like the tanks.I bought it off the auction site for $50.00
dollars and it was sold as used plus $15.00 dollars shipping.(the guy paid $39.00 dollars to ship it fedex)-I think Hobbytron and mabe Radintec sells them for not much more than I paid.I didn't save much buying it used and the battery it came with is no good,I charged it up twice and it will not take a good charge.So need to get a 9.6 battery for it.Shot the gun a few times(strong shooting gun)but with the bad battery I have not been able to run it much.One speed forward and they run fairly fast and have poor steering.
The only thing that looks bad as far as I'm concerned is the big fron't bumper and it is also spring loaded to act as a protective device if you crash into something,this makes the bumper also stick out even more.That stuff was removed and the bumper cut down and reinstalled.I'm going to put a different control in it as the hummer itself I realy like and want to turn it into a good runner.
the size is 26 1/2 X 14 1/2 wide x 13 1/2 tall.They come in brown or green camo BIGMIG [)][)][)]

Hello Leon01,
I was wondering if this had belonged to one of the members here on the forum.Hey no hard feelings toward you at all,I know you tried your best and thought it would make it to me in top condition.With out the original box it is very hard to pack one of these in any box and keep them from getting dammaged when they are tiped in every possible direction.I got the feeling you realy did like this tank,but you can feel good that it went to a good home and will be treated good. There was a lot of things that got broken in transit but it has been easy to repair this far.Other than the dammage done during shipping,this tank is still just like new.
I want to thank you again for the tank,I REALY LIKE IT A LOT.

Status: offline 		Again sorry Big about what happened. It looks like it has a good home LOL it sure want be lonely with your collection of tanks. I sent you a little something though paypal to buy a few Beers or Pepsi to get you though the work on the tank. I'm a Pepsi guy myself. Any way keep us posted on what you do with it. They are the best bang for the buck you can get right out of the box. I just could not handle its size now.

Hey Leon01 you don't need to do that,I know what a heck of a buy I got on this tank.I don't think most guys on here realize what a great buy these tanks realy are.I know for most people they are just to big and take up to much room,but simply can't be beat for what they sold for.Thanks again BIGMIG

Status: offline 		I'll be getting my second 1/6 hummer tomorrow.If it makes the trip to me allright and is new in the box like it is suppose to be I'll probbly go back and buy the last one this seller has for sale.For $89.00 dollars plus shipping I can't believe these were not grabbed as soon as then went on the bay.Not being made anymore,the day will come when some guys will kick themselves in the rear for not buying one when they had the chance at a bargin price.These are well made hummers.If these had the name Tamiya stamped on them,everyone would want one.

Status: offline 		Got a few more pictures of one of these 1/6 Hummers.I set a 1/16 tiger on the top so you can see the size of these humvee's.Also a picture of the gun that comes with it,although I don't much care for the gun.It shoots the dart like the 1/6 M5 Stuart and the 1/9 Abrams tanks. BIGMIG

P.S. these big guys scoot right along,don't know how fast but would guess somewhere between 15 and 20 miles per hour on a flat hard surface.I ran mine on the road in front of my house.But one caution,these do not have brakes and will keep right on rolling down any incline.
