Hello.
My name is Will living in North Derbyshire.
Over the years I have built and used a range of Tamiya cars, I have also dabbled in model boats both sailing and electric.
A few years back I worked in a model shop, was fortunate to build a couple of Tamiya tanks for a customer (cannot remember which tanks) but do remember the quality the sound and action.
I did purchase a Heng Long Bulldog which had sounds bb firing and smoke, and having tested the H/L Tiger found them to have toy like sounds and a toy like actions.
I am looking to get back into R/C tanks on a budget, have been looking at a Mato Sherman, the question is have they improved, or how much do I need to spend to get something that is better than my old 27 meg Bulldog.
Many thanks.
Will

I also live in Derbyshire in Chapel-en-le-Frith so don't know how close you are. There is a Manchester club meet coming up on Saturday 19th December and it probably would be worth your while to attend, meet some of the great guys who will certainly give you lots of advice about tanks/costs etc and you can probably get a couple of test drives on different tanks (bring the bulldog along).
