I had to tap a few of the holes for screws as they were just a hole. But with a little work, i am pretty happy with it. Admittedly, one of the gearboxes seized and blew up my motor, which i dont really care cause its a piece of shit gearbox and motor and now i have an excuse to put something a bit quieter in it. I ordered one last week and waiting for delivery. At the end of the day, its all metal and that part i like. Oh, and im not a fan of the suspension either. Bit stiff

So you spent how much to get a tank that you had to tap screw holes, replace a blown gearbox, and that has a suspension that is too stiff. Sounds like you've had to fix, replace, or adjust every part of the thing! LOL! This is why I'll never buy one again!

I didnt really have to replace everything. I pretty much bought an empty shell. The only thing that was in it was the gearboxs and motors, which are indeed cheap shit. Tapping holes is free. The metal tanks are flawed. They are an exact mould of henglong tanks and not enough attention to detail was put into them. From the looks of it though, they have also fixed up a few things since i got mine. I will be getting another tank but probably will also stay away from mato. Maybe...
