I bought this tank thinking it was a great way to use my Amazon credit card points. I hoped it would be amusing to play with. Boy was I surprised! First the tank came packaged very nicely to keep it safe and it came fast and right on time. The initial opening of the box made me realize this was not a toy but a display piece, a conversation starter, and a really awesome toy for a 58 year old kid.
After getting everything assembled the fun began. I took my time and used my brain to figure out what the Chinese translation meant with regards to the remote control. Anyone saying the translation is incorrect or wrong just can’t think outside the box. Soon I was driving straight as an arrow and running around the house with ease. This tank is no toy but really a scale representation of the real tank.
I assumed the airsoft would be weak and not really a part of the fun. I WAS WRONG. It shoots over 40 feet and is very accurate when within 20 feet. My wife is very upset with all the yellow 6MM BBs rolling around the house. We have 2 dogs. Mine is a Yorkie and my Wife’s dog is a boxer. The Yorkie is ok with the tank and dismisses it because it is an ally but the boxer is not pleased with the appearance of this tank. So far the tank has engaged the boxer tearing up the garbage can and on another occasion digging holes in the yard. Needless to say when the “Bulldog” shows up all mischief is OVER!
I was missing some decals when the tank arrived and notified the seller , Delta-LT storefront Lin Tao . I could have gotten some at the local hobby store but much to my surprise I was told the stickers/decals would be on the way express. The seller was extremely concerned with my buying experience and that was a wonderful and unusual thing to see. I will be applying the decals and then weathering the tank. I would imagine it will sit in the livingroom waiting for an unsuspecting guest to ask “hey what’s that”. I look forward to that.
The upgrades on this tank, metal tracks and gears, to me seem well worth the investment. It will take me some time to “weather” them but hey isn’t that what the modelling hobby is all about?
This tank is worth every penny and the seller is an example of what all sellers should be. You won’t be disappointed. If you run into translation troubles I am Ray Schilke on Facebook. Friend me and I’ll help you out.
Follow up review. The seller, Delta-LT, Made good on the promise to send me the decals and also sent some extra “goodies”. The tank is still going strong and battles often. I am getting ready to “weather it” now. I get 20 minutes plus of battle time from a single charge. I can’t say enough how much I appreciate this sellers commitment to customer satisfaction. AAAAAA+++++++++

I was very impressed with this RC tank. It comes mostly assembled with a very detailed instruction manual. The manual is complete with a part book to order any part that break down.

This is a well made replica of the w
Walker Bulldog. I t requires maintenance just like the real deal. Be sure to order this tank with the metal upgrade for gearboxes, track and sprockets, it is well worth the money. The tank performs just like a real tank and is quite easy to learn and a lot of fun. The only thing that is not truly accurate are the periscopes around the driver’s hatch. They will need to be cut down so that you can open the hatch for the on-off switch. Just look up photos of the actual tank and all becomes apparent. tighten screws regularly and keep the trash out of the tracks and make sure to keep the drive gears lubricated and this little tank can last a mighty long time. I hope this helps, great tank!

An excellent 1:16 model that is highly detailed….especially for the price! It was easily assembled. It maneuvered very well and its turret rotated properly as well as its barrel angle adjustment as was desired.
A couple of drawbacks existed. Accessories to be attached were slightly off color/sheen from the tank, most noticeable were the larger accessory pieces (will be painting the tank so not important to me). The exhaust smoke feature didn’t work and the only way to indicate if the feature was on/off was with the tank volume turned off to hear the noise of the exhaust smoke accessory’s fan (a feature not important to me). I wish there were led light(s) on the AC charger indicating the battery being charged and/or when the battery was fully charged (it took approximately 7 hours, from the battery being depleted, tank ran out of “fuel”, to being fully charged, using my “universal” charger set at 400mA).
A “spot light” feature mounted to the barrel was fabricated to enclose an FPV camera. Was great to “drive” the tank as if I was inside the tank looking outward above the barrel. Also aiming the barrel to the target and seeing the BB’s shoot out were fun to experience.
Regardless, I’m well satisfied with the M41A3 that was purchased and would certainly but it again. Sadly my dog chewed up the decal sheet and it looks like Delta-LT will come to my rescue!

Siempre quise comprar un modelo a escala pero me arrepentía por los precios, vi este modelo y me gustó tanto que pensé en mis días en World of Tanks, así que lo compré y estoy tan impresionado de la calidad que me quedaron ganas de comprar más modelos. Súper bien empacado y cuidadosamente sellado cada uno de los objetos que incluye. Muchas gracias Heng Long, me dieron un set con herramientas para desmontar orugas y destornillador de muy buena calidad además de las 6 baterías para el control remoto. Muy muy satisfecho con la compra. 😎🩶💙

Tenia mis dudas pero al ver unas reseñas en Youtube es un gran RC, desde la primera vez que lo ves soltando humo, corriendo o disparando quedas muy feliz, los materiales se sienten sólidos, las orugas son de metal al ser la versión mejorada, el sonido es potente, vale mucho la pena. El envío fue rápido y súper cuidadoso, el proveedor hizo un gran trabajo de embalaje. No te arrepentirás.

Just got the tank today and all I have to say is WOW!!! All the upgrades were installed as described which makes this a heavy and durable tank. I continue to be impressed with Heng Long’s attention to detail (this is my third). You do have to assemble some of the small pieces to complete the scale appearance (although the tank is ready to run right out of the box), but to me it’s half the fun. As it was explained to me that this is hobby grade and not toy grade, so it might not be a good idea to give it to your six year old. Beware: this shoots plastic bbs at a good velocity and you’ll be picking up these little yellow things for a long time because it’s so damn fun to shoot. I am just an old kid that will be enjoying this for quit some time. I don’t normally take time to write in these reviews, but I am so impressed with this, I had to tell the world.

Tank is really cool and realistic. Runs great and the firing of the bb’s is amazing. Nice job on the metal gears and metal tracks. Only issue is the smoke for the exhaust. To fill through the exhaust pipe is not realistic. You have to open the tank and smoke box to fill it.

Es una maravilla, simplemente fantástico.
