Good deal, those Russian tankers couldn't drive for beans anyway so that's where the fenders went!!

Be well,

The thing about shipping to the USA from Europe means that because the VAT that we in Europe get charged at 19% is not charged to sales outside of the EU this makes the total cost---Postage versus Tax about the same so the actual price for the item is going to be about the same either side of the Atlantic.

I enjoy ordering from Dave for my Taigen upgrades. His website is much easier to navigate IMHO. His prices are very competitive and I'm many cases less expensive than some US vendors. ( even if the VAT was added). His shipping prices are exceptional too.

He is very responsive and although I'm here in the states I get my orders just as quickly as the US suppliers.

Dave is the best :clap:

Yeah i checked out the turrets from forgebear probably order one this weekend after the wife gets her share of my paycheck (majority of it). I didnt realize how reasonable prices are on r/c tank stuff. Thanks for the info guys. Havent had time to do anything else with tank but look at it for a few minutes. Ideas are filling my head along with all the info from these forums.
