Which vendor has pre-built m1a2 ?

Post by Haru »

I'm starting out my RC tank journey by looking into buying an 1/16 m1a2 abrams. I've looked at a couple vendors(which I saw from this forum) but wasn't able to find any that has m1a2. I'm looking to spend around $600 for an 1/16 m1a2 abrams rc tank with the usual metal parts(gears, tracks, etc ). It could either be IR or BB. Which vendors should I be looking at? Located in the US

Taligen has the Heng Long Abrams M1a2 Pro at a very reasonable price,
But it’s a dry heat!

Hi Haru,

I started out my RC Tank with the purchase of the Heng Long M1A2 and IMO it is the most accurate in it's price range and performed well right out of the box. Since I have gone to GREAT lengths to upgrade and detail it but out of the box it is very respectable.

Tamiya is your other option but it is twice the budget you've set for yourself and does NOT come with the Radio Equipment or Battery. The plastic is about the same but the mechanical engineering is far superior and the overall quality is "top shelf".

You can see my build efforts here:
