    Tank lengths excluding gun barrel

    Hello everyone!
    Could someone help me please with the length measurements of the chassis only (excluding the barrel) of these three 1:16 scale Heng Long models? (Pershing, M41 Walker, and Panther G) Thanks a million!​

    The measurements should be on MotionRCs product page for each tank.

          I believe the length measurement given on the product page includes the barrel, which is useful information for transportation purposes, but it doesn't give me an idea of ​​the actual size of the tank to know how well it can be maneuvered inside the house.

            You will be surprised just how tight a space you can drive even a large tank through by simply pivoting (turning) the turret in the direction of the intended turn as you make the turn. Put another way you lead with your barrel and have the hull follows behind it.

            It's an easy technique to learn and master in no time at all.
