So far she runs oke, but frankly: I didn't run her a lot since I bought it.

Great to hear the T90 love you!
Because in Russia... Tanks loves you!

I just bought one; came with a manual - in very broken English.

If Tamiya instead of Abrams produced the T90

The build quality on the T90 is the best that HL have produced, the parts and mouldings are very precise. It is up there with Tamiya quality, and some might say better. The only downside is HL electronics and a BB gun, but I did stick a TK24 in mine, converted it to servo recoil, and a full IR system, and fitted low ratio black steel gearboxes.

The only thing it needs really is more weight, as it is an incredibly light tank despite the size.

Speaking of quality, I've run mine for quite a while offroad.

The zinc gearbox is... it's bad. The airsoft gun jams too easily, and the tracks like to sag. The tracks on one side are a lot looser than the other, and it feels a little odd. The parts like to fall off, like the machine gun ammo box and some of the anchors for the tow cables. The tracks are squeaky as hell too, so you'll know when the thing comes rumbling down the grass / road.

I still like it though - now all I have to do is to stop grass getting inside the tank, which is always a pain.
