Purchase Decision Help / Advice

Post by Merlin707 »

Hi guys,

Looking for help or advice on two tanks I am looking to purchase.

1. Torro full metal IR SturmTiger

2. Torro full metal IR King Tiger

I like the look of both of these but I am unsure as to which I should get next to compliment my Taigen Tiger 1 Tiki and my ShermieDog.

If anyone has pros & cons or advice about each it will be appreciated.

Thanks

Merlin...........Why choose? buy both :haha: :haha: :haha:

The Sturm is stubby... so won't take up space...the KT is a Monster....probably push your Tiger and Shermidog off the shelf :haha:

I'm gonna have to say King Tiger. The StrumTiger is just too limited for me to ever consider taking it onto a battlefield.

The Tiger could be put inside the King Tiger! I have 1 KT but have plans for at least 1 more, possibly 2.

Wow, I didn't realise how much bigger the KT actually is in comparison to the standard Tiger.

Think my decision is made.

Realised the newest KT from Torro if bought from rctank.de comes with full 360 turret rotation and black steel gears.
I like the desert paint job too, so will probs be doing another what if build.

The only tank that comes close it the KV...but even that is a tad shorter ;)
