With no TBS available worldwide it would seem (Tam battle apple is marked as discontinued!!) I need some pointers to get my Tam Sherman IR battle spec please.
What options do I have currently available and where? Need the whole system and had hoped I wouldn't have to build from components on my first system.
Thanks in advance any help would be appreciated.

I would go for the impact unit, same as tamiya but cheaper. Available from mitosal.com. I was looking at getting one and postage is very reasonable!

Not that much help but got an Apple from them.
About half the price of a tamiya
Edit: with postage it was about £50

Customer service has always been good and postage is usually about five working days. Also they always estimate value at £15 so no customs entanglements....
