Looking about the web at the Heng Long Challenger II (AFAIK only HL do a ChallengerII ).
Seems there are many 'versions' of this tank from the P (standard) via the pro versions Z, S, MZ to an MS (pro)
P has plastic gears
Z has zinc alloy gears
S steel ones
Whilst M denotes metal idler wheels and tracks.
In pictures etc it looks like most places will supply an MZ (I think) , is there anyone who will supply the MS version and how would I tell.
I assume a steel gear will take more than a Zinc alloy one .
Are Nitrotek as bad to deal with as everyone says?

YES,GOD don't order from them, they are a nightmare and ship you faulty ex customer returns.Are Nitrotek as bad to deal with as everyone says?
i ended up having to do a PayPal chargeback.
PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT be taken in by their pricing. its a TRAP!
You can't call them, only communication is via their online helpdesk, even Paypal couldn't speak to them!
Use Andrew at Haya UK or ForgeBear...

WARNING :- NO TANK CONTENT AT ALL
Sure a new 40" telly will fit in the car but let the companies van take the strain (and the responsibility).
OK it may be a couple of days till they can get round to delivering your item but seldom is the need so great that you need 'it' today not in three days time.
Part of the reason I like to get things delivered rather than take them home in the car. If I crash, lost/broken new thing is down to me, if the courier crashes, then the lost/broken new thing is down to them. The most dangerous part for any item is it being transported, makes sense to let someone else be responsible for getting it to your house. Really is a no brainer with places that offer free delivery.Son of a gun-ner wrote: Therefore, it is down to the sender to sort out any problems and make sure you're not out of pocket etc. Also they are the ones that will be seeking compensation from the courier company if it gets lost or damaged in transit.

Dave at
www.forgebeartanks.com
Has one Challenger 11 left in stock at £170 plus postage it is all plastic BUT in my opinion if you are into upgrades this is probably the best of all the Heng Long versions of the Challenger 11,
www.rctank.de
Have a Challenger 11 for sale at 300 Euros plus post, this is all metal although it does not say the gearboxes are steel it just says Metal gearboxes so they are probably pot metal but it does have metal tracks, idlers , sprockets and wheels.
Both Dave and Dom are top dealers and you can absolutely trust them with your hard earned,
Like everyone else says AVOID Nitrotek and Tankzone.
