I don't know...but this sounds like a sweet deal...free ship

I can feel my back snap just looking at it

ALPHA

UNTESTED SOLD AS IS, NO WARRANTY: The condition of the tanks vary as they are hand made, may include cosmetic imperfections/blemishes. Scuffs/Scratches, Paint chipping, Paint under/over spray, Minor fiberglass damages ie. crack/chip, Minor rust residue on unpainted steel surfaces. (Photos shown for example of some of the imperfections described, condition may vary)

So, it could even be worse than described above. Doesn't sound like it's for me. Besides, I'd have to build a carport to park it.

Jumping into 1/6th? DEEP POCKETS remains the best advice.

Looks like it was sold by Walmart.

I'd rather spend the 2k to scratch build, that model looks very poor. A good heads up anyway, I didn't know about these before you posted it Alpha.

This is a cheap option for anyone interested: http://www.monkeydepot.com/Vehicle_Kit_ ... ah0001.htm

It's all plastic, and needs extensive work to make it RC but I don't think there is a 1/6th scale vehicle out there that costs less. As it comes it's dissembled like a model kit. If anyone needs pics let me know.

Same here JT... look at the size of that thing ....I can run over my foot with my 1/16ths ....it hurts depending on which tank...but dang...run your foot over with that monster and you'll be in a cast for a month
not to mention the hernia should you try to move it

Counts me out lol... but isn't that brand supposed to be pretty good? I recall a few posts regarding that brand...and that they are relatively hard to find..but pretty well build and detailed

I think Walmart workers would have a fit ..trying to put that thing on a shelf ...they probably wouldn't mind...think of all the workman comp claims they'd be able to file

What strikes me funny about that auction... I've heard of that brand...there were a few posters looking for it about six months ago maybe a little longer...It's really a not bad brand...but at that buy it now price..plus free shipping ...doesn't seem like the seller is really looking to make a profit.... seems more like an issue of making space ...because shipping 200lbs anywhere... has got to cost at least 1/4 to maybe 1/2 of the asking price

Really Zuul???? even though that model isn't tested....it has everything...basically RTR once you put two 12v batteries in it ...to me if I lived anywhere on the continent where it's flat...it might be something to consider... at 2k ... it sounds SWEET.... they are absorbing the shipping cost...so you figure..that's a buy it now...not bid situation...it isn't going to go higher...might go lower but I doubt it...just because a good portion of that price will go to shipping...figure 200+ lbs for that Tiger fully loaded with motors and everything...depending on where it's shipped to..it's easily going to run at least 500.00 to ship
So 1500.00 for a partially metal 1/6 Tiger with 2.4 gig rig...that's cheaper than setting up a 1/16th Tamiya

It looks like a lot of plastic. If you realy want to go 1/6 you may as well go ASrmortek or something similar. I paid about £2,000 for an Armortek late tiger 1 with every option. Sold one of the unwanted options for £400 So in the end have a very nice model for £1600. Not a good idea if you need to negotiate stairs though.
