[tanksrsean]

Hello everyone,
Im sean from the uk.
im looking at buying a new rc 1/16 scale tank
im looking at the heavier metal versions from taigen for a more realistic movment, which is in my price range.
Iv been looking at 3 tanks in particular.
1= taigen tiger 1 full metal upgrade version
2= taigen t34 metal version
3= taigen full metal m4 sherman

Has anyone had any experiences with these tanks or could recommend some others please

Im looking for the most practicle out door tank with a decent weight and realistic movment.

Thanks for your time everone

Hi Sean, you've picked some good tanks there! Taigen metal tanks are very good which ever one you chose you'll be happy with. I have both the Tiger and King Tiger and have upgraded them with all the Taigen metal parts and they both are fantastic runners outside. I think at the point you are at it all comes down to which one you want to buy first because trust me you will be getting more.

If you want as close to realistic speeds and climbing power may I suggest getting 4.1 steel gearboxes. That slows them down to a nice easy walking pace and makes hill climbing much easier.

One last question is their any highly recomended retailers in the uk or cheap shipping costs abroad, as nitrotek seem to be fully sold out and well i dont know if i can trust ebay too much. And havent heard much from 1001models.co.uk

Thanks again

Well sean..since you're signed in as a member now...check the recommended and not recommended seller's lists...think Nitrotech is not too good...I don't know the UK vendors well...maybe one of the others will come and aid you in your search


GOOD LUCK
