Which tiger?

Post by hexbugspider »

So as I attempt to decide what my next tank purchase will be im often struck between these two options.. a tamiya full option tiger 1 or a mato full metal or even a good old torro pro edition!

Tank doesn't have to be super detailed, just something tough that can deal with harsh terrain/ water @)

It's a longshot but theres also the tamiya Abrams.. but nearly 1000 seems alot to spend on one tank, even though that model does have some very impressive features..

Help?

Regards, nick.

I'd steer clear of a full mato anything for reliability. A good Tamiya or a Torro would provide some fun and reliability IMHO :thumbup:
Tanks alot.... :wave:

At the end of the day it’s your money, I have Tamiya, Taigen & Henglong Tiger 1’s.
I like them all, but I worry about damaging the Tamiya & Taigen versions as I have sooo much money tied up in them. I enjoy driving the Henglong most to be honest, it only cost me £90 and has the new version 6 control board in it, at slow speeds it’s far better than the other two, that may be because they are so heavy though.
Your choice....
It appears you’ve had this discussion in several other threads, was there any need to start another?

Okay will do, problem with the torro tanks is the sound delay kinda bugs me.. tamiya doesn't have this but then again they are over double the price
