Hi guys,

Does it make sense to purchase the Tamiya Panzer IV with the single motor and no electronics with the intention of using AM gearboxes and electronics?

Is the Tamiya a better overall kit than any of the others available?

Having spent a considerable amount of effort and dollars in making the HL M1A2 chassis sturdy I was thinking the Tamiya would be a better starting point.

Your thoughts and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Barry

I have one Tamiya PIV kit, and even when it is cool and is much better than the king tiger, i found the asiatam PIV WAY, WAY stronger.

I have one asiatam with tamiya suspension for sale if you want it, and might sell the tamiya kit when I finish painting it too. But If I have to choose one hull, asiatam with no doubt. Some people seemed to had problems with the asiatam, but it seems I waw lucky and mi asiatam kit came perfect.

I have a Tamiya Panzer iv, very good runner. Suspension is brilliant.

Upgraded tracks and added metal return rollers and driveshaft supports.

Also have (for sale I might add) brand new Tamiya Jagdpanzer iv which uses the same chassis.

Thanks guys.

Just starting the thinking process
