Good Morning,
I hope that like Heng Long, Tongde will improve the quality of their offerings with time. Watching the work being done on their M60 and reading others 'thoughts' makes me hesitant to invest in a Broom Job model that will require serious work to bring it up to the capability that a run in the Rough requires. As always, awaiting a review on it.
regards,
Painless

People have been saying it's closer to 1/15 scale so that they could fit their standard gearboxes in it.

Great to see more American armor from Tongde. This M2A2 is different than the OKMO M2A3, mainly without the commander's independent viewer on the right turret side and comes probably at 15% of the final cost, with electronics and effort required. At first sight, I can see a few improvements that can be made to the front mud guards, engine grills, structure around the rear ramp and gun barrel muzzle, little things here and there, but the basic shapes look accurate and the model is likely to be a really good base.

This is surely the first affordable plastic IFV on the RC market. An IFV is screaming for a servo operated rear ramp and partial interior, definitely an exciting project similar to what i did to the DKLM Bradley, but way cheaper.

Hope they come with metal suspension arms, the Bradley is a really big vehicle, and very heavy when loaded with features and upgrades.

Of specific interest are those plastic tracks. They represent the Bradley late Bigfoot type, it's hard to see but they sadly don't seem to have any pads on them.
