From what I understand, Tongde is a company started up by a former HengLong employee or a third party manufacturer that decided to go out on their own into the market. They do more 3d printing vs resin casting than HengLong does, and so they have suffered from more defects than the others as they are both new and trying out a different manufacturing process. Missing and or broken parts, is common for this brand at the moment. Hopefully they improve their QC and processes and we can have yet another competitor that is willing to try and fill out the market with offerings not currently commonly seen from the others. I would wait awhile before buying, especially anything over the $250 mark.
Thanks for the video, couldn't really find any info on this model, but now I know its not for me...I will just convert my Torro 2A6, which I bought locally for a steal! There are several conversions out there, I do however like the tacks, which are for the snow/sand type terrain.
Is this worth the $370 price tag on Amazon? I honestly want to get another RC tank since the last one I had from Heng broke or it could be the battery. The JagdPanther was running nicely for about 4 months and it started giving me crap. This Leopard looks really well done but with cost of living idk if it’s a good investment
First time I see Tongde built so bad, I got Tongde Abrams and it is very nice and well fit, accurate (it is a TUSK version) and works fine, where did you buy it?
@@tankumuch8269 now I am waiting for this version from one of my sellers and I will see, if all is fine with it or not. Other issue I see here is that basically Heng Long parts are not suitable in many cases for Tong-De despite the fact, it was former HL guy who created it with Coolbank Team. We shall see mine though, but I am quite surprised anyway.
I don't have issues with the Test Run. You can check my other video for the test run at the link below. ruclips.net/video/mk-lXIYkqdk/видео.htmlsi=OrEgCSgHUIQxVlM-
I got Tong-De Abrams M1A2 SEP 2 TUSK, looks fine and works fine for the moment, hope it will continue, nothing broken at first opening, very rich part sprews with many additional items, best is Heng Long parts work well for this one too
the problem you have with RC Tanks is the lower chassis has to be metal or very strong plastic or it'll break outside, ok for static but not outside. @@radoslawzawadzki7460

Their Centurion is worth the money, it's a nice tank.

one day my collection will look like that
Hi!
That’s so annoying it came broken, so many of these seem to come from the factory in a unintentional kit form. Was the exhaust cover in the box?
I was looking for it but its not in the box.
@@tankumuch8269 i hope they send a replacement part pronto, must be flipping annoying for you

I haven’t seen Tongde Leopard on Amazon. I bought this from dklmrc.
@@tankumuch8269 they have one from Karoyd and they look the same.

DKLMRC. I bought the M60A3, Centurion and this 2A7. I dont have a good experience with the product quality.

Thanks for showing me this Absolutely Terrible Tank, so l NEVER WASTE MY $$ ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS!! Great work Thank you. Brilliant!!
( NOT THE TANK)
Seems like it’s low quality
That's very shitty packaging. Quality is so poor.
it looks rubbish, doesn't even look accurate, sounds nothing like the real tank either
