Got mine from them....They shipped quick. I do recomend before you take her out, glue the wheels togather. They are pressed togather finger tight and will come apart driving around resulting in you walking around the yard for a hour looking for half of a wheel......don't ask me how I know this.

Forgot to post,this is the Airsoft version guys. Amazon sometimes has a good deal,and this seems to be one of those times.

To be clear though,I have not used this vender,so check their feedback,and research their return policy and shipping. Just be smart,it's only a good deal if it arrives unbroken and is warranted. cheers

I have the same tank ordered from Amazon. Quite a hefty unit. I haven't found the time to run it yet. I'm a nubie to tanks, so when you say glue the wheels together you're talking about the bogies? I thought they are metal? Either way what type of glue would work for this application?
I apologize, this may not be the appropriate place for my question.

the wheels are 2 part....to cover the axel screw...I used shoe goo that is used for shoe repair, flexable and sticks to anything. When needed you can pry the wheels apart with out distroying the wheels.

For those of us in the USA, I got my Taigen Tiger 1 advanced metal from Midatoys in California. $279 with free shipping. You can find them on Ebay under Toys/Hobby: military vehicles. And the wheels do come apart! Fast service, received it in 5 days.

Has anyone tried fitting a recoil unit in these yet? Are the plastic turret identical to the "regular" heng long tiger?

As far as I know HL/Asiatam parts will fit the Taigen.

The HL recoil is easy fit to replace the airsoft the Asiatam is a bit more involved.
