The wife was watching when the Abrams arrived today, she collects Charlie Bears and their saying is that
there is always room for one more bear, like I said to her, theres always room for one more tank

So, what do the bears do? At least your dogs are less likely to chew your tanks

Re: 2nd and 3rd modern tanks arrive
That's an interesting combination of parts, as its a HL TK7.0 but the chassis, gearboxes and speaker all look like taigen parts. Was this "out of the box" from Toucan, or are you building it up from parts - just curious.Ludwig von wigbearer wrote:A look under the bonnet

It looks like one of the Haya hybrids, Taigen/Torro metal chassis with Heng Long top and electronics.whitecitadel wrote:That's an interesting combination of parts, as its a HL TK7.0 but the chassis, gearboxes and speaker all look like taigen parts.

Hi Mick, you are indeed correct, the Leopard is a Haya special, I specified it without a rx/tx for a smallSon of a gun-ner wrote:It looks like one of the Haya hybrids, Taigen/Torro metal chassis with Heng Long top and electronics.whitecitadel wrote:That's an interesting combination of parts, as its a HL TK7.0 but the chassis, gearboxes and speaker all look like taigen parts.

discount, I expected a unpainted base, When it arrived it was painted and with a taigen v1 mfu, so
sold that on.

Hi, the abrams is straight out of the box as it came from toucan, it has steel gears, 360 turret, V7.0 . silly back to front barrel recoil, came in at £250 plus 50 quid shipping and as yet no import feeswhitecitadel wrote:That's an interesting combination of parts, as its a HL TK7.0 but the chassis, gearboxes and speaker all look like taigen parts.

Re: 2nd and 3rd modern tanks arrive
That's interesting that they mix the parts, the Taigen chassis (I bought one for my HL Tiger 1 from forgebear) is much more robust and better engineered than the HL.Ludwig von wigbearer wrote: Hi Mick, you are indeed correct, the Leopard is a Haya special, I specified it without a rx/tx for a small

Was that from eBay or AliExpress? Toucan has quite high postage I noticed, but I guess if there is no import then its good value still. A lot of UK places seem to be out of stock of HL... not that I am already considering a second tank!Ludwig von wigbearer wrote:whitecitadel wrote:Hi, the abrams is straight out of the box as it came from toucan, it has steel gears, 360 turret, V7.0 . silly back to front barrel recoil, came in at £250 plus 50 quid shipping and as yet no import feesLudwig von wigbearer wrote:A look under the bonnet
