New player in the RC tank market?

The m10 and centurion might be a popular choice as everything else is readily available

I was thinking that although the m10 looks to be identical to mato just with paint on, so is also readily available

[Herr Dr. Professor]

I maybe able to get a hold of some of these rather than continue my m3 development so if I can what would be the preferred choice?

M10! Maybe between one of these and the Maddening Mato M10 that I have had for years I could get a working M10.

I still keep wondering what company's Centurion that is since HL has made no reference I can see to releasing one. It seems a little too soon after the Tamiya release to have cloned theirs IMO.

[Exhibitedbrute]

There’s nothing there that is not available from another manufacturer and if I’m honest looking at their store page suggests to me that they are nothing more than hl or mato, with exception to the as tankme says tamiya centurion at wholesale prices. There are several companies claiming to be manufacturers on the app that are selling hl products and this on at the moment looks no different.

However using the m10 as an example it’s bulk price is £36. For orders of 10 or more, I would point out that this price is per unit and excludes any shipping costs import tariffs and customs charges so it is my believe that even if a deal was struck as was mentioned earlier the final price in Europe and uk at least would not be much cheaper than the current market prices if at all.

For the centurion it does not seem to be available to order, though it’s unit price does suggest the pre cost wholesale price for the tamiya centurion.

As promised I did some research and I could get the m10, but after adding the costs of import I highly doubt they could be sold for much less than the current sellers

But it's Mato M10 on the pictures, only painted
