It all depends. Is it in running condition? What brand is it? How old is it? If you want to send me a PM with a link to the tank if you don't want to post it in open forum and I'll tell you if its a good deal, ok deal, bad deal, AWESOME deal or what. And no I won't buy it out from under you as I already have 1 King Tiger, 2 Tigers and am building a 3rd and have the next few tanks already lined up to buy so I wouldn't be able to get it till some time next year at the earliest.

Let me see it and I'll let you know. :thumbup:

I had to use my currency convertor to see what that was in US funds. That price is about right for a Heng Long King Tiger without any upgrades. You may want to look around for one that has at least metal drive sprockets, idlers, and tracks. However, you have to buy what is within your budget.

If it has the RX-18 MFU, all future upgrades will be easy, as it is plug and play. My uncle just recently bought one of the new cheap hl Tiger's, and I'm going to need to rewire the thing since it came with the old RX-14.

Most likely yes. Metal gearboxes, tracks, etc. are available. RP makes a good point on the electronics, contact the seller and find out what powers the tank, the RX-14 or RX-18. I'd stay away from the RX-14. You can buy a HL 2.4GHZ radio system for about a $100.00, plus. It's usually cheaper to buy a tank with upgrades already installed instead of buying them piece by piece.
