i need help
 

i just bought a heng long m1a2 ahbrams and i cant find upgrade parts for this like metal tracks and such please i need help i love this thing and the tracks keep coming off and i thats the only complaint

RE: i need help
 

To my knowledge, there are no metal tracks available for the M1A2. There's only the plastic individual track links and those are for the Tokyo-Marui tanks so I'm not sure if they're compatible with the HL but they might be considering they are so similar.

Here's a source for Marui tracks...

RE: i need help
 

Which kind of tanks do you like?

There are two eras we are dealing with; those tanks that went head to head in or around WWII and more modern tanks, many of which have never met on the battlefield.

I would suggest the 1/16 scale Heng Long as they are a real hoot to mess around with. BB shooting, smoke and sound and they are just entertaining to make them your own. Lots of detail parts in that scale as well as I just bought an Ultimate Soldier "D-Day Tank Commander" from 21st Century Toys this weekend in 1/18 scale (very close to 1/16).

Do you live in Kosciusko County or Decatur County in Indiana?

Well, the reason I asked is that I belong to the [link=http://www.customrcmodels.com/MACV/headquarters.htm]M.A.C.V. Tank Club[/link] and you should contact them about joining in on battle day! We're always looking for more members to battle with and talk tanks!

Our next meet is January 13th and depending on your location will determine the drive.

German tanks were known as PANZERS or Panzerkampfwagen followed by the designation I, II, III, IV and so forth. Sounds like you like them all, and who wouldn't, but I think you may have meant one of these 4 possibly the most popular of the WWII German tanks:

beutiful pictures and i live in indiana yes i think the only tank i dont like would be the sherman

RE: i need help
 

Personally i would go with the 1/16 scale HL bulldog or HL Pershing(snow leopard) my friend has had the hl pershing for 2 weeks now and no problems what so ever so really its personal preference just get what you like. :D

hope that helps in any way.

kind regards pantigerman.

RE: i need help
 

How exactly is the tracks getting thrown? They just not linning up on the road wheels or are they slipping off the Drive Sproket? I had a simular problem with my HL Pershing but it was real easy to fix.

RE: i need help
 

kosiosko, and when i turn or spin fast sometimes the track comes off the drive sprocket and sometimes it comes off at the lowest point of the belt
