The fakes do work as long as you use old style RC 7.2v NiMH or NiCad batteries as these don’t exceed their voltage ratings. Easy to find online or at hobby stores.
I would say since you have the motors, just run them and see what happens. You might luck out and have some that will hold up?
No you did not waist your money buying HL tanks. They are tougher in most respects then the Tamiya tanks and far easier to work on. They might not be as “detailed” but also not bad for the money and can be made to look quite good with a new paint job and a few extra parts.
The Tamiya tanks tend to be more for those that enjoy the model building aspect of the hobby vs the hard running outdoor RC side of the hobby. Both have there place and both have folks that cross over to enjoy different aspects of the hobby.
If you have access to Instagram feel free to take a lot at mine @ fsttanks. Most of the tanks are HL but there are a few that are Tamiya as well.
