First 1/16 RC Tank

[thunderbolt]

Hi to all
Used to do RC car racing many years ago and then went to scale modeling these past few years, and always fancied a RC Tank so thought why not combine the two and get a 1/16 tank to paint and detail with the fun bit being it can also run.
just ordered a Taigen tiger 1 full metal upgrade, seemed a good price for what you get,Tamiya I know being the bench mark but selling a body part to fund it wasn't a route I wanted to go down.
Anyway can someone tell me if the road wheels supplied have bearings in them, as I know from the car days the less friction the better it runs.
Thanks in advance for any info

Hi thunderbolt, welcome to the forum.
Your tiger will have brass bushes for the idler wheels
But unlikely to have any in the road wheels.
Definitely not if there plastic ones.
Do not despair though, as your wallet is the limit
For upgrades for a tiger.
Cheers

Thanks Lister, the wheels are metal, its the Taigen all metal kit, lower hull metal, as is the turret, barrel,tracks, gears, idler wheels.
