I know what you mean. I check my tracking numbers a few times a day hoping the post office has changed the ETA.

ed '' just go for the cheapest you can get
just stay away from the tiger in the blue box it heng longs original entry tank very basic '' lot of work in electronics and modifications just to get it work nice '' you will soon be an expert in rc lol'' when you've taken it apart a few times and get to understand the workings of it
most of all its all about having fun

Hi edpanzer, i got the Torro metal Tiger with BB direct from Torro. I ordered it on Tuesday and it arrived on Saturday. I'm very happy with it and had no problems. Only had to fit rear mudflaps and markings and charge the battery then it was ready to go. I would definetly recommend one.
Here's a couple of pics.
The box it arrives in.

Mick your tank is great I would have it in a heartbeat is it this one?
https://www.torro-shop.de/rc-militaerfa ... ox-bb?c=57
I think that works out to £277 with the postage and I've got £250
Edited to add my Mrs was looking over my shoulder and loves the fact its in a box so it can be stored tidy in a cupboard,...... So I can get it

Offering this late maybe... But the best deal you are going to get and support too .... (Nitrotec maybe fine, unless you have a problem!).
Pm Forgebear and see what he has available. Be quick he is about to have a hols. You may find you can get a good deal on a built Tamiya or a brand new Taigen at a great price. I would recommend the Taigen metal panther if you could stretch 300 quid.
Dave can offer some great advice on whats best for your bucks. So Pm Forgebear and get his phone number and chat with him.
