Well I just ordered a T34/85 from HL

[ALPHA]

Alas no.
Just the standard bb firing thing.
Although a metal one wouldn't really interest me

HELLO LISTER FIEND

I wish mine was the upgraded version....to make the upgrade by ordering the idlers drive sprocket and tracks add up to pretty much the cost of the tank I have currently...if i was able to get the metal version it tops off at about 300 us... separately close to 400...not including the time to do the change out

still I'm happy with the model i have... only downside is there aren't that many shops that carry the upgrades... I know of only one other ..than HOBBYRAW...but the parts are for the WSN...so I figure the drivers and idlers won't fit... and there's a little bit of a risk with the metal track

I'll have to compare the tooth gaps to see if it will be compatible ...I think I will be able to live with the plastic drivers and idlers... as I really don't want to deal with HOBBY RAW again

FORGEBEAR... IS THAT A SHOP IN THE UK? DOES HE CARRY ANY UPGRADES ?

hi alpha.
yes, forge bear has an ebay shop here in the u.k
he isn't advertising the t34 (obviously because there not in yet)
he does have mato t34 tracks advertised
but if you ask him he will get you anything thats available.
if you check out the recommended vendors list, you will see he is highly rated.
always comes up with the goods & always responds to any queeries you may have.
personally, i would lend him a kidney with no fear of it not comming back!
you can email him on
theallertons@fsmail.net
cheers

Thanks lister fiend...
Living here on this rock does have it's limitations... and the only shop that did carry RC tanks just closed it's doors...There is one other but don't deal with anything dealing Rc tankery So my only alternative is mail ordering... I will give Forgebear a look see

What's kind of a bummer is (and i hate to sound like i'm pimping this guy )... but Hobbyraw now lists the full metal option version of the T34... 279.95 +45 for shipping...but it does show just what kind of guy Hobbyraw is... as before I purchased the one i did...I first inquired when and if he was going to get any ... and got a reply "not in the near future" ...so I assume he advertised the model Phil and I got to sell off some stock... then re-advertise the metal versions... which does save you about 50 dollars us ...if you did it piece by piece...burns me up a little... but I did have an ill feeling about that place

Thanks again for the tip lister fiend...Nice to know there is someone who will take internal organs for collateral
