Hello! I recently bought a used Heng Long Pantiger with a bad Rx13 board so I used your advice. One thing that stood out when I got the tank working again was that the Heng Long multifunction board you used in the video, did not want to produce sound or smoke. all the tank could do was move, turn , rotate the turret and shoot but no sound or smoke? it just keeps beeping and beeping and that's all you hear from the tank. I dont know if I am missing anything because I'm quite new to the hobby. Thanks
"Hi! Great video! I think this finally will get me in the right direction!

I have bought a Heng Long PanzerKampfwagen III with no-smoke, and no-sound. It does have Airsoft. Evidently this uses the old RX-13 board, which does not have easily-replaceable crystals.

I want to play with this tank with another RC tank I bought my son (by Huan Qi), but evidently they are on the same frequency. So, I want to change the frequency of my Heng Long Panzer III.

It looks like to do this I will need to replace my receiver in the tank with the RX18, and likewise get a new transmitter.

Question: Where can I buy the necessary components?

Thanks,
" Excellent mate. RC wiring for dummies! Very helpful.
"Hey dude. Cheers for the video. I've whipped out the tank after a few years to have a play, but the crystals appear to be broken, because the tank won't respond to the controller key button, but it still turns on and the lights flash. Given that I can't seem to find any of the RX-13 crystals anymore, I would likely have to do this full upgrade yes? Is it also still possible to use my current speaker thats already in it?

Cheers mate :)
" "Currently doing this myself.

Picked up a very good condition, almost as new Tiger in the box for ?35.

First thing I did was Chuck the RX-13 and now in the process of upgrading.

Also fixing the suspension, replacing the idlers and have drilled a hole in the side of the gearbox to give clearance for the suspension bolt which appears to pinch the gearbox.
" This motor/gearbox works well with steel tracks?I'm thinking of using bike chains for tracks,do you guess that would works?
I have a Tiger tank with a circuit like that too , I have the Sender radio with A B C in the corner . Will this work ? And did you have to take the wires of the circuit board and add plugs as well?
Hi, new to RC ... I looked through your videos but didnt see anything on how to re-record new audio sounds... better, more realistic tank audio and more info on better speakers... thanks!
"Are the RX's Cppm? I see only 3 wires, I use CPPM on my quadcopter and I've trawled forums for more details on a tiger 1 (wanted t-34/85) i picked up on ebay, not opened tank, but I'd say by it's shyte responses it must be a RX13, so I've oredered a rx18, soooo, 2 questions, I'm left handed so IF the RX18 uses PPM, i can fit a orange micro PPM reciever and use my ""proper"" 9xr pro radio, configure the channels to my cac handedness and join the world of RC tanks, (or moving camera platform) I get the RX18 and use the Rx in the tank? or I have to buy more stuff... the Tx... bearing in mind I paid ?55 for the Tiger, and a T-34/85 was ?91......
" hey can ya do something on clark boards mate plz? im getting into the tank thing quite cool
I couldnt see from the video but did you get the tracks turn the opposite direction when you turn the tank on the spot? It looked like it didnt. German tanks should have that feature.
"I have a old HL tiger 1 tank, instead of buying the rx18/transmitter/speaker/smoke machine/and receiver, im thinking of doing it all myself, so that means I will have proper tank contros, i.e left stick controls left track, right stick controls right track. thats better no?
" Do most of the heng long's come with just the rx13?
Thanks for this.
How about change to 2.4 GHZ also cheap
Hello can tell me what wiring & plugs I need. I'm doing what you are doing. Thanks George
Hello, i have a fried transistor on my rx13 board (at 0:43) i can clearly see the transistor in the upper right corner above the electrolitic capacitors and below the ceramic orange one.on the board the transisor is labbeled Q1.please tell me the code for that transistor so i can rfeplace it
Is there a way to cut that annoying starting to move (buzzing) sound when i push forward or backward on RC?
hi do you do a vid of how to wire the upper hull to sute the rx18
hi, recently fix my rc leopard 2A6 tank with a new airsoft unit, but now the recoil in the tracks is not working how do u slove it, but still the moter in the airsoft unit is working. be help if someone knew. Thx.
Whare did you get the receiver/crystals and how much do theay cost?
man i could sure use some free upgrade stuff
From this to V6.0 / TK6.0
It is very odd mark that both quit at the same time. Recharge both the main batteries and make re you are using the correct remote for each tank... try swapping. Email me if you still have trouble and I will try and help. Mention who yo uare in the subject & YouTube video as well??? thecommandernnj@yahoo.com? or my website? http://www.rctankcommand.com/? Good Luck, Bob
Can I use techniplus tx on tank my reciever is identical
