I will wait for someone’s review, then decide on buy or print

Pre-order prices as seen on the DKMRLC website:
$122 for the plastic version
$225 for the metal version
I think these would be reasonable prices for a small tank.

I'm with ya, but I'm not opposed to mixing the two. For the Inkor M48 build, it will have TongDE metal sprockets and Rich's plastic M60 chevron style tracks because I HATE building tracks. I'm putting plastic TongDE or Rich's tracks on my Inkor M60 slick also. Most of the time I won't build a 3D printed tank if it's available on the market as the post processing of 3D prints is what takes the longest. I've finally idled my printer as it needs some fan replacements after 6000 hours of printing. I also have so many projects printed now that I will be kept busy for quite some time.

I currently have a Matilda and a commet to Finnish. A Cromwell cent and is3 kit to do. An su76 conversion to Finnish so I have plenty to do while I wait

The only reason I bought the Stuart is no one did one and the Churchill I wanted metal tracks

I just found this on AliExpress:
DKK1,538.20 | Toys Tongde 1/16 M24 Chaffee RC Light Tank Electric Infantry Fighting Vehicle Model Radio Control Panzer for Boys Gift TH24484

That's Toucan Hobby, a seller seemingly worldwide. I noticed that there seems to be a bit of a gap in the glacis, apparently somewhat less of a gap than in the Bradley or Churchill, but seeming to become something of a TongDe signature. This, of course, will not discourage me too much.

Hi folks. Not been here for a while (RCTW) but noticed the M24 Chaffee is now available. One of my favourite tanks since I built the 1/76 Matchbox model in the 70's. Earlier on I noticed someone said there will be a BB version. Anyone got any idea when that will be out? Will they do one? Obviously Tongde couldn't put a BB gun in the Centurion and the Stuart, but the Chaffee barrel is big enough. I really, really, want to buy one now, but don't want IR battling. Absolutely no use to me. How long am I going to have to wait for a BB one? Weeks? Months? Never?!!
Does anybody know?

Hi folks,
Well, no-one from here replied so I contacted TongDe directly. They replied this morning saying no. So it looks like I'm going to have to buy an IR tank.
For anyone that's interested, this is their website:
