    How come Motion RC hasn't done an official review of the Heng Long T 34

    Because they don’t have any. Used the search button there are several reviews here on this forum done by fellow tankers that are far more accurate then what Motion post about tanks.

      My humble opinion....it's nice to have reviews but for me it might not be necessary. Buy 1 and have fun with it. It is less than about 2 times the cost of the Taigen/Torro tank and 3-4 times less the cost of the Tamiya tank. I can abuse it as much as I like and I don't feel bad about it. When I was satisfied, I got my second. Then I got more for modifying to other versions.

        The Russian T34 tank was regarded by many as the best tank design used during WW2 due to its simplicity and reliability. It is so cheap to build that allowed Russian to overwhelm the enemy by number. Some of its innovation, such as slopped armour, is used in modern tanks.

        The same with the Heng Long T34. It is one of the cheapest 1/16 scale RC tank. See DavidN post above.

          I can whole-heartedly agree with DavidN... the HL T-34 is awesome value for money. OOB it is a fun machine to run, and with some work you can make it special. Mine is scheduled to get some minor upgrades like a rear light and some weathering, but "as is" is does the type justice.
          Sherman M4A3 105mm Houwitser / Sherman Firefly IC *under construction* / Panzer IV *awaiting side-grade from TK7.0S to TK6.0S* / Stug III / King Tiger / KV-1 *awaiting upgrade to TK6.0S* / Tiger I / T34-85 / Leopard 2A6 *waiting upgrade to TK7.0*... No, I do not have a problem....

            I would like to mention one more thing about HL T34/85. The "on/off" switch is inside the driver hatch at the front....Very convenient. No need to turn the tank over.

              Only on the 7.0 version I have the 6.0 and it's still on the underside.

                Got it. I didn't know about that. There will be a tank battle in LA tomorrow. I will bring these two to join the Allies attack :-)
