I ordered the Pershing Metal Barrel with recoil-It just arrived, Its allot longer than the stock barrel, although the muzzle break appears to be the same.

Do you have any pictures of your purchase? Can you put a ruler next to it?

Tip of Muzzle break to entrance to mantlet:
Stock: 6.5"
Metal Recoil: 9.5"

Its hard to tell from this angle, but yea, Its about 3" longer..

Make that 10"....

Just for comparison the Tamiya M26 Pershing barrel is 8 1/8” in length from the mantle to the end of the muzzle brake.

Here are my Pershings. The Hs really need the long barrels to match with those Tamiyas.

My Pershing is the T26E4 "Super Pershing"

Was thinking that might be the direction you were going. 👍👍

Saw an M60 update on Facebook. There's a video clip showing one running (can't copy it, unfortunately) on a slippery marble floor, but it's running. Anyway, DKLM RC chimed in there. He says he will be carrying the line when it is released. No date, though.

You have to follow the comment and reply trees a few levels down.

The direct link Delta posted works. Thanks.

(I hate FB) To see DKLM RC's comments I noted earlier, go to his FB page and start with the M60 photo dated 10/26, and check the comments connected to it.

Here's a photo I pulled from the DKLM RC website. He states he'll be posting the tanks for sale on his site "soon".

I'm guessing it's early pre-production.

Four posts to connect top and bottom hull.
Turret components appear similar to Heng Long - rotation motor, ring gear, airsoft gun.
MFU looks similar; plug-in slots are in generally the same locations as HL.
Smoker looks similar. Seems to be bolted on to a post.
There is a unit near the top rear that looks like a combined on/off switch and balance tap charging port.
Front hatch opens.
Speaker is like HL's compact unit.
There seem to be LED's in front, although earlier Wang said they were eliminating headlights for cost savings.
There may be a tension adjuster on the idler.
Looks like the road wheels are secured with bolts inside the hull.

The biggest unknown is how or whether the MFU, speaker and battery are secured. Maybe a plate over the torque rods? If not, one will have to be added.




Anything else you can see?

[Delta_19]

Well that battery is concerning. No bms just balance right to battery. Atleast the it's balance charging and not the mains.

[RichJohnson]

Once those tranys eat crap your on your own. They are mounted from the side and it does not appear HL units will fit in despite the claims Coolbank Wang alleged.

[SoCalBobS]

Someone on DKLM RC's Facebook alleges he bought one from an importer in Germany. Here's his comment:

"its garbage! Got it from one of the tank dealers in germany which imported a small number and regreted it. The electronics are bad. The plastic is to thin. The roadwheel arms will break easy. The gearbox is the only good thing."

My only caution is if he had unreasonable expectations, like a Tamiya product at Heng Long prices.
