I get most of my stuff on ebay. The only Tamiya Centurion tanks come from China that I have seen. They said the instructions are only in Chinese. so how hard is it to build one if I dont speak Chinese.

Don’t buy one from China - Germany has some good offers. Better than the U.K. that’s for sure.

whats a good place in Germany to get one. Do they offer the radio with the kit also

Axels Modellbau.

On Japanese market tanks come with a radio.

Axels price is Euro 964-95 but it is showing as not available,
i guess they are sold out BUT my experience with Axels is if you put in an order you won't have long to wait for the product to arrive

will the instructions come English ? I am working on my 2nd. Tiger 1 The first one fell together but this one isnt. I have a old Vex radio, and I just cant seem to get it running right. Up is down and down is up. I even tried to reverse the functions on the radio but it just makes it worse

Because you have not yet introduced yourself to the Forum using the "Introduction page" we do not know where in the world you are or anything else about you and knowing that would make it a great deal easier offering advice,
I was going to say offer that stone age Vex to the British museum and the money you will get would go a long way towards buying a modern digital multi-channel radio

To partially echo jarndice, I would buy a good hobby grade radio (Radiomaster TX16S) first. It will bind with any receiver made, store many many models’ settings and have enough switches, sliders and potentiometers to suite everyone’s needs. Now I’ll go off on my own tangent: Consider your tank purchases around aftermarket boards like Elmod or Beier. And finally, check to see if Heng Long dual current gearboxes have a unit compatible with your tank. Radio, electronics and gearbox. Those are my personal top 3 upgrades that are paramount to me enjoying my tank. Anything else is simply detailing and paint job.

I did order a new TAMIYA FINESPEC 2.4GHz 4-Channel on Amazon but that will take a week or two to get here. Yea its coming from Japan also
