I have two Hen Long tanks (Tiger 1 with no smoke or sound and a Pershing with smoke and sound) as well as the 1:6 Stuart.

The Tiger 1 is the best of the three. It runs well and I have had a lot of fun playing with it. [sm=thumbup.gif]

The Pershing has been nothing but a headache since day 1. It sputters, travels beyond input from the transmitter, and freezes after a minute or two. [sm=thumbdown.gif]

The Stuart, I bought against my better judgment. I thought that it was pretty decent at first, but after only a couple of days of play, it is failing. The sound comes on and shuts off at random and now the turret has stopped functioning all together. [&o]

I seem to have the worst luck with RC tanks. [:@]

If I were you, I would get a simple Hen Long without smoke and sound, and save up for a Tamiya one day down the road. They are awesome.

Good Luck!
