New player in the RC tank market?

[Rob1970]

Hey folks,

Recently I've seen these folks pop in in various RC tank groups on Facebook. Anybody know anything more about them?

you put the wrong pictures up

[Rob1970]

Yeah, seen that one too. And the M36 looks nice too. As does the M10...

i like the look of these has anyone thought about buying in bulk for this forum and spreading the saving ?
any vendor prepared to do a deal for forum members ?

RC Tank Legion has done some deals like that. They just did one with Kootai for the M1128 MGS Styker, but I doubt they are in the mood to do it again so soon as it seems the Stykers had some issues when Stanlley got them. Still waiting for mine to arrive, but he is being proactive checking out every vehicle and doing some QC before sending them out to customers which I appreciate. I think I would've been pissed to have it arrive with all kinds of issues after waiting so long to get it.

That's the risk of dealing with a new vendor or manufacturer. What they say and what they actually do are sometimes not the same thing. Because Stanlley was taking all the risk, I took a chance on buying one.

Good points, pretty new to forum so just asking the question understand its a minefield with probably little reward for the vendor so more trouble than its worth.

Those (and Sherman, Pz III, Stug, Tiger and probably others) looks like repainted Mato tanks.

Look like old/excess stock in most cases from other manufacturers. With the largest proportion of it being mato. However at those prices I will look into it later

[Rob1970]

Well, I got a reply on Facebook...

We are a factory looking for an agent
??

I'm sorry, Sir. We don't sell retail

So I'm out until someone starts selling their wares.

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?
