Well too sides to the coin you know Kiaser....if people waited for the M1...they could have got the ones we got...so it's a good chance they might be doing the same with the Challenger with a different twist...that being instead of coming out in a slow progression...there will be a mass release of all the different models ...which is a good thing...as I would prefer getting a full metal version than a plastic one then upgrading that

If they come out with a metal version that would be a game changer Alpha .

It really would I think....more and more modellers would jump to modern tanks

Not sure I would have played with you either Kiaser lol...mostly because the Leo doesn't really rank high on my "like" list lol...
But the real reason I think if HL came out with the full metal option with the Challenger is..it would capture more interest with the modellers who where building ww2 tanks...having those in full metal like they do now...is just a tad bit too late...as most modellers have spent their dollars on upgrades already...so very few have the "need" to buy any of those....But these new tanks....they open a new can of worms...mostly because there are no upgrades or accessories ...Full metal ...think about it...they'll have the jump on any aftermarket companies ...laughing all the way to the bank

Hey I was just kidding Kiaser...I would shoot your tanks anytime...being they WWII or modern

Man ...1100 is more than I'd pay for that metal bucket...like I said before...20 dollars and my chassis will be stronger than any brand...even that metal one

PS. you have to make a thread and show us your M1 and whats going on with it

Kiaser wrote:All is good , check out the tools thread then see if you will talk to me LOL ,I will have to add the M1 to the list I like it Alpha , working on tiger 1 at the moment goodness me this model is a thorn in my B side Taigen

Yup saw your Tiger I build....thought you might be a multi-tasker and do like five or six tanks at one time

Found some photos of interest....to me

The only word I can see is bracket

That's what they are Kiaser....found some interesting factoids for my later RC build...turns out the GUP Firefly is based on the Tamiya version of the Firefly

You can see the brackets and how they are mounted ...theirs is the only model that comes with the Hybrid feature

Got news for them ...............

What did I see a very good jump ramp after the bridge it is clear that it is not being used for maximum potential ......... and the addition of a sand pit after it .

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! That's not bad....looks like he's running stock gearboxes too....haven't tried that with the M1...maybe I CAN get some air

ALPHA

Kiaser wrote: air can beeeeee cool looks good

Yeah...I've been trying to jump off of stuff...not over them....though he's using a Walker...the inclination angle on the front of the tracks is steeper than the M1...So it might come to pass that the M1 can't clear a 2X4
