1/10 or 1/12 RC Toy Abram M1

Subject: 1/10 or 1/12 RC Toy Abram M1 Fri Oct 22, 2021 4:49 pm

Hi all,

Does anyone have one of these laying around ? They were sold in cheap toy stores and the scale is suppose to be either 1/10 or 1/12. They were all the rage for a while now I can't find one anywhere.

Just curious to know the dimensions.

They aren't 1/10 or 1/12 scale, but do you mean something like these things: https://www.amazon.ca/Military-Indicators-Realistic-Vehicles-Rotatable/dp/B095W6JXD1/ref=sr_1_31?dchild=1&keywords=Haktoys+Remote+Control+Fighting+Tanks+Set%2C+1%3A14+Scale%2C+Life+Indicators%2C+Realistic+Sounds+and+Lights%2C+Set+of+2+RC+Radio+Control+Gaming+Military+Battle+War+Tanks%2C+Great+Gift+Toy+for+Kids+and+Adults&linkCode=gs3&linkId=5ae1470bab5c59dc28384ba0162b0ad3&qid=1635344766&sr=8-31

Thanks Robert. I am actually looking for something that is bigger than 1/16 from Tamiya and Heng Longs as the trailer I am putting this on is roughly 1/12 scale. I am basically looking for a dummy tank as cargo for my trailer.

They were selling them at toy stores for a while but now I can't find them anywhere.

I think I found my tank to put on the trailer….. even bigger than the M1 probably the same as my Mk III.

Hey Peter, Dean has the Hetzer and it is not the right scale (my truck needs something in the 1/12 or 1/14 side or a BIG 1/16).

The 1/10 Leo 2A4 would be too big.

Funny enough I just ordered the Hooben 1/10 T34/76 1943 to keep Dean's Hetzer company........ :-)

UG... Another PoS Hooben…

How long and wide are you looking for?

Subject: Re: 1/10 or 1/12 RC Toy Abram M1 Wed Nov 03, 2021 8:32 am

Didn't you have one of these that is supposedly 1/12?

Subject: Re: 1/10 or 1/12 RC Toy Abram M1 Wed Nov 03, 2021 9:45 am

I do but it looks too big on it. I really just a need a large 1/16 tank so my Merhava MkIII actually looks quite good on it and will see about the MkIV. It is crazy thay Heng Geng made three vehicles and they all look slightly too big to go together. My guess is that the HUMVEE is 1/10, the Cougar is 1/12 and the HEMTT is 1/14.

On the Hooben end, can't resist 1/10 scale at almost 1/16 price. Especially if you sell the electronics which I did with my Cromwell. Can't believe there is a market for Hooben Electronics.

Subject: Re: 1/10 or 1/12 RC Toy Abram M1 Wed Nov 03, 2021 10:24 am

Yea. I just looked.
HEMTT is actually 1/14 scale (1:1 is 10.4m OAL vs 740mm = 1:14)
Cougar MRAP 6x6 is 1/10 (1:1 is 7.08m OAL vs. 647mm = 1:10)

That boggles my mind re: Hooben electronics. Mind you the resin castings for the Hetzer were garbage... and the internal guts were horrifying in cheapness.

The HUMVEE might even be 1/8 then........ Crying or Very sad

Yes blew my mind when I sold the Hooben electronics for good money. I guess it is not bad when you consider it is basically a complete MFU with radio as long as you are not battling Tamiya.

The HG P408 Humvee is pretty close to 1/10th scale.
1:1 is 4.57m OAL vs 472mm = 1:10.3

Yeah I don't know. None of them look right together. Trying to find a real picture of any of them together.
