Boy my hat is really off to Heng Long.

We have a Sherman, T-34, Leopard, Abrams, and a Challenger, all in the last year. I guess you might as well make use of the design team you have put together, and get a whole bunch done. There is probably a cost efficiency there. Most of these tanks will have a long run, and provide HL with a base income for some time I would think.

I agree with you Dirty Bird on the sound. It seems like a no brainer. That is the reason why I have always been reluctant to spend too much capital on a electronics package, All Heng long would have to do is flash some different sounds onto the chip and the demand for third party stuff would drop dramatically.

The 2.4ghz stuff was a step backward. They should have spent the money developing the sound on the RX 18, or at least when they went with the 2.4 improve the sound at the same time.

If you want good sound, you pretty much have to throw away the 2.4 ghz stuff. The DBC3 won't work with it
