Well I have always been a fan of the Abrams and Sherman tanks. I would like to find one for myself and my two boys to work on together and play with. Where is the best place to buy one at and where can I go to get one with the metal gearing already installed?

Looking at either a Abrams or Sherman, not a lot of accessories to choose from with those two

The HL Sherman is probably the easiest to modify and come with a fair amount of stowage items and can be had with metal gears. Aguilars' offerings as far as turrets, hull and turrets or just main gun and mantles can be fairly easily modified to fit on the base HL hull.
The M1a2 Abrams HL offers is pretty good but and only needs a few things moved to make it visually correct. You will have to hunt around to get stowage items and metal tracks.

I bought my tank while I was in California from RC Dynasty on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/usr/the-rc-dynasty? ... 7675.l2559
I hear this is actually Mato's store? Anyway it was from Canada, bought the tank arrived on my doorstep safe and sound in a little over a week. Lots of choices too, which is nice. Hope this helps!

Hello, guys. Im gonna tell you the full picture of why am i here, so maybe you will be able to understand the problem better. Approximately ten years ago, idk if the country matters, my dad gifted me an abrams m1 heng long tank 1/24. In a couple years the gun broke, and the tank spend quite some years disassembled in a box. After we moved out, I decided to keep the tank and finally got my hands on it. I simply want to repair the tank and mb upgrade it a little bit, keep it as a memory, but Im afraid to burn the circuitry. What I need is actual technical info about the tank. Schematics of the circuitry, gun model and etc. Im really sure that this

Spoiler: show

is the tank im talking about.

Actually the tank is 15+ years. Also the non sloped fron of the turret makes me doubt that this is abrams model...

Greetings Trenkie....Traced your post back here from Moni's Introduction post............As I mentioned there...this is a JGSDF TYPE 90 tank...Both Jake (Moni's boyfriend) and I have it....for what it is...it's a fun tank....but on the flipside of that...I'm not sure it's one worth restoring....It sounds like there might be some sentimental attachment
If it's the gun mech that is the problem and the tank runs...I would just say run it

With that said....it is possible to upgrade if you wish...as I considered putting a 2.4 rig in mine...there is plenty of space...so you could add sound as well as smoke ...the downside is that the parts alone would cost more than your tank....So upgrading to a larger 1/16th model might be more practical

If you should decide to upgrade this one though...and even go the route of getting a new gun mech...check out FORGEBEAR ...I think he's the best and most reliable seller there in the UK and if you have problems he can also assist you

Good Luck Trenkie
