Hi
I have an older HL Tiger I tank with all plastic tracks, idlers, drive wheels and all.
I would like to replace all these with metal parts and was wondering which hull would be better in this case:
the Toro half metal half plastic one

or Mato all metal

just trying to have some fun and give this old kitty some new life
Klem

Whenever I buy a Heng Long Tiger 1 at the same time I buy a Taigen/Torro Metal Hull,

Re: trying to fix an older Tiger I
I prefer the Torro / Taigen track tensioning system personally, but you can't go wrong either way... the Torro saves some weight by being partially plastic (thus saving long term wear & tear on your motors), but is still plenty sturdy
