In the apparent fervent race a couple years ago, for members to add as much 'metal' to their tanks as possible (and even falling for, and buying, tanks with the 'all-metal' label, that were anything but...)

, I put metal turrets on two of my Tigers. With hindsight, I wouldn't have bothered. Plastic
ismuch easier to modify, and it puts less strain on the upper hull, geartrain, MFU etc., than its metal cousin.
That said, a truly all-metal (alloy) tank a la Armortek, still probably represents the peak of ownership ambitions for many rc tank modellers, I'd guess.
