trying to fix an older Tiger I

[goodhunting]

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
https://www.torro-shop.de/Metal-chassis ... scale-1-16

or Mato all metal
https://matotanks.com/product/mato-116- ... 79ecTDAB81

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

Whenever I buy a Heng Long Tiger 1 at the same time I buy a Taigen/Torro Metal Hull,
My dealer of choice being
www.forgebeartanks.com
Dave has a nice choice of hulls, Well worth looking at.

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

I would for me go with the Taigen/Torro hull as its a good bit cheaper and seems really robust
And as Jarndice said Forgebear is where to get it

[MrChef]

Taigen lower is what I'd choose. First based on experience with their robust build and quality.
AND Second the Price!

You could get the Taigen lower hull, Late Metal Wheels, Sprockets, Idlers and Tracks from them for less than the Mato hull alone at 168.34 Euro. That link you have shows 199. Euro just for the Mato lower hull.

Dave at Forgebear is a great dealer and even on this forum.
