I also had one of the 1/18th M113s that I wanted to convert to RC and then thought better of it. I sold it years ago at this point and I agree the stowage on it was terrible.

Look like the scale is correct.

Looks like it might be. I won't be an early adopter on this one as I just bought a new car and dropped a decent amount of change on it. I'll wait for reviews.

Personally, I think it's pretty cool to see an Australian version. This is probably the first out of the box RC model of an Australian AFV.

Yep - lots of Aussie options. This one looks like twin 30 cals.

I'm seeing these for sale now on Ebay from Toucan. I think I'll wait until Motion RC stocks them though. I want the MSV.

"I'm seeing these for sale now on Ebay and on Toucan's site." I checked https://www.toucanhobby.com/ and did not see the TongDe M113 for sale. I do see them on eBay from sellers that are using the Toucan name, usually with a suffix. Toucan Hobby has made a point of noting that their name and URL are being copied, so I would want to check to see if these sellers are potentially unscrupulous copycats. (I have actually had good experience with Toucan Hobby through their own site, as well as Motion RC.)

Fixed it... :) I did see them on AliExpress. Maybe that's what I meant...yeah, yeah, that's the ticket. :haha:
