well not new to rc as i have had all sorts of rc cars over the years from nitro and brushless to 5th scale mcd race runners. i have always wanted an rc tank but didnt ever fancy building a tamiya kit. but today my friend got his torro full metal tiger 1 i had to have one so he advised me to sign up onto this forum and see if i fancy one or end up going for something else.

Tan22, Welcome to the Forum, which Tank you buy is not as important as where you buy your Tank. I would suggest you read the BLACKLIST so that you become familiar with the alleged bad boy's then go to the recommended dealers and make your choice, Perhaps you would like to make a small list of what you want and go from there, for instance you do not want to build a full kit, so not TAMIYA but if that is the only reason then money is not the problem? do you want above all things a ready to run straight out of the box Tank? then a top range TAIGEN or TORRO, if you are happy to modify an existing Tank so that it comes up to your standards then HENG LONG is cheap with great scope for modification and has the added advantages of running straight from the box, it is cheap so if you decide this hobby is not for you then you have not wasted too much money and an industry has grown up that supply's every avenue of alteration you could dream of, and that the members of this Forum can and will offer their help, most parts are interchangeable between the major manufacturers BUT not all, ask us we will help.
