Heng Long USA M1A2 Abrams Upgrade Edition 1/16 Scale Battle Tank - RTR Reviews

4.8 Rating 71 Reviews
Heng Long has updated this M1A2 Abrams tank. I love how the battery box is in the upper hull now in front of the turret. You can swap your battery out right where it sits without picking it up and flipping it over. The upgrade version besides having the steel gears also has a metal barrel and metal idler arms for the road wheels. The plastic tracks handle outdoor terrain with ease while being gentle on my hardwood floors. The plastic detail parts fit nice, no glue was required but I added a small drop on one part just to be safe. Last but not least, the turbine engine sound revealed itself when I changed the setting on the transmitter by pressing the G and K buttons at the same time. That was the icing on the cake. This is a very high quality tank for the price, and Motion RC has the best price out there. Thank you MRC!

Wanted a good RC tank since I was a kid, can't go wrong with any of these they're very cool. If you think you won't use it much, you're probably right but it looks great even to look at.

Thank you Motion Rc. I have bought a lot of products from you guys. Super fast shipping, the youtube channel is amazing. Very informative. The m1a2 is great the only thing I wish I would have known is the Hull update for the battery. It’s in a great spot now! Just not a fan of where the latch is to unlock the battery department. The part you look at most is towards the front of the hull, and the latch is the first thing you see, and hardest to look past. You kinda loose the the realism when trying to scale detail it. Other than this, the tank is Great, definitely recommend, for anyone. Thanks again. Always will buy my tanks from here!

It's the Abrams! Easy to build, works very well. You may turn the turret by hand to reveal the on-off button on the back, the mechanism does not suffer from "forcing" a rotation. Excellent quality/price ratio. Now I have a more than worthy opponent against my T-90

I recently purchased the M1 Abrams RC tank and was immediately impressed by how authentic it looks and sounds. The detail on the body, the engine rumble, and the turret rotation all feel incredibly realistic—it's a model that really captures the essence of the real tank in a scaled-down version. The immersive sound effects and smooth driving mechanics make it a standout among RC vehicles.Unfortunately, the main cannon has a serious issue. While it makes the correct firing sounds and appears to go through the motions of firing, it does not actually shoot any projectile or ammo. I’ve double-checked the loading mechanism and followed the instructions, but no matter what I try, the cannon will not fire. It’s disappointing because everything else on the tank works beautifully.For anyone considering this RC tank, just be aware that the firing mechanism may be faulty out of the box. I’m hoping to get this issue resolved, because the rest of the experience is genuinely impressive.

This is a huge tank compared to some of the others. And like the others it runs and looks great. As always, Motion RC comes thru with promt order processing and shipping.
