Mine now has a Clark board, TARR smoker and 5:1 gears, but the standard tank is more than good enough. All it needs now is a new IR system and it will be ready to lock horns with my Tamiya Sherman.
Me too. A great quality rugged tank, mostly metal parts.
I've got three of them...... so far

Hi Guys ! for me I started with a Tiger 1 from Heng Long that was slightly upgraded by the previous owner and was a great starter tank......then I got Taigen Tiger and I must say I wish I had started with one........Great Tank with metal turret etc etc and well worth the extra few £.......so for me I would say the TAIGEN !
Regards
Mark

HI, I did not know you were in the USA, I would not buy the AMAZON Taigen Tiger1,
Instead I would go to the IMEX Site where the R/C Tank department is in the perview of ERIC,
The man is a legend in the American Tank hobby world, go to
www.imex-model.com
Click on R/C and click on Tanks, The Tiger 1 is available right now from $239 and Eric will look after you, Will AMAZON.?

Here in the states I would absolutely do as others have mentioned and go with the Taigen Tiger I. It was my first tank and right out of the box very rugged and reliable. Do purchase it from Eric at imex so you have his help and support.
