Shermans, which one to get?

Post by jackalope »

Like the title says which one to get? I'm looking to start adding some Allied tanks to my budding collection but am wondering which would be the best? I'm looking to get at least 1 IR and 1 BB version and I do intend to run them the rest of my tanks which is to say like they are real tanks. So far both of my Tigers and King Tiger are damn near all metal that I built so I'm leaning toward the Taigen almost all metal ones. My H/L Tigers have both been upgraded with Taigen hulls and my KT got the Torro metal hull, all have black hardened steel gears and all metal running gear so you can see why I'm leaning toward Taigen.

Thoughts, comments, suggestions?

Hello Jackalope, All of my tanks except one are Taigen. Four of them are IR versions. Three of them have metal hulls and running gear and two of them have metal turrets. The tanks that are all metal, with the exception of the upper hull, seem to run the best. They are smoother and seem quieter to me. They all have the black steel gears also. I like the IR tanks so I can battle with them. My sole Taigen BB tank, M-26, doesn't get much run time. It's nice to have the same brand of tank in my opinion. It makes trouble shooting a lot easier with compatible RX-18s, transmitters, and motors. For whatever reason, I started with Taigen and will probably stay with this line of Tank. They have all been good to go right from the box except the first T-34 which I returned for a refund. The second one has been great.
