Hi folks, here are my three tanks:
The pz3 is my first tank. Straight out of the box, no changes. It goes everywhere,climbs well, mud, water, long grass ...everything that it meets in the forest just over the road from my house. My favourite. Cost about £80
The pz4 is just finished and is my first attempt at airbrushing and weathering with dirt and rust. This has a full metal upgrade, 3:1 gearboxes, black cap motors, RX18, 5000mah battery, removed the smoker...this tank is powerful and will climb the table leg. Cost about £250
The Tiger you have seen before. Full metal upgrade, full ElMod, 5000mah battery...real heavy tank.
Battery life is 20 mins on the flat, it suffers techno seizures regularly, weighs a ton and cost a fortune...about £500...plus and not yet finished.
All will have battle systems from Phill when he is feeling better.
There is a moral here isn't there. I abuse the cheap one and it does not complain about anything.....I even wash it down with soap and water squirted from the wife's pressure pump insect spray.
I hope they meet your aproval
All the best....Mike

Hey Mike!
They look great! I have to agree that the Pz III is my favourite too - it was the first tank I fitted a DBC to, the first the be bought with metal gears, and the first to get replacement tracks (Impact Winterketten).
At a recent club meeting it out performed all of my other tanks (IR range, reliebility, battery life...
)
The Panzer IV is a good looking model too. See my Pz IVH build if you fancy adding the hull schurzen some time
The tiger needs to come to a club meet sometime to join the rest of the unit

Re: trio
Thats a great job you have done on the PZ4, love the chipped paint.
How does your Elmod do on inclines...mine is running HL white caps and needs a run up at anything except a flat surface?? The Tiger weighs 13lbs, an RX14 will power it with no effort at all, but the Elmod simply stalls at the slightest provocation??
