Torro or taigen? What have I bought exactly?
Hey all new here and new to RC tanks, I've recently bought a tank from tankzone. Wish I had come here first seeing how they have such a bad rep. I ordered it last week so hopefully tomorrow it will turn up. Although I have had no tracking number from parcelforce yet. Time will tell. The tank I bought was the torro/taigen tiger 1 with metal hull, I will be upgrading in the future with parts. So it's listed on the site as torro/ taigen but I've read they are different manufacturers? Thanks for your time.

They are the same, just different distributor. Taigen for the US, Torro for Europe.

You'll know when you get it, it'll either have Taigen or Torro written on the box

Haha, so what are the limits of these tanks? Can they run through mud water etc?

Mud should be ok, but for water, you need to protect the control board from getting wet.

Would you drop a live electric heater into a bath full of water ?
