hi there folks

I am thinking of getting a t-34 to my collection. Have any of you any views on the quality of the t-34. I think its a wsn product.

is it worth buying

cheers

It's worth buying as it makes a good basis for a lot of different models, all based on the T34 hull. Its a basic model out of the box, but they have great potential.

the transmissions are not the best, and you should be prepared for the day that you have to get out the dremel and fit something better

Having said that, like all rc tanks its life span is determined by how you treat it. Its certainly not just a cheap toy that will break down 5 mins after you get it home. If you can get your hands on one of the original green ones (without the mud coloured tracks) they are more of a model 'kit' than the later pre-assembled IR 'toys'.

The electronics are garbage, but HL parts are easy to fit and several people here have done it (and probably posed how-to's).

Upgrade kit possibilities are Modellino's T34/76 turret, and Imperial's Su85 and Su100

hi steen
wsn t34s are sometimes hard to get found this on ebay tiger+ t34 you could always sell the tiger

I swapped out the WSN electric in my T34 for an HL RX 14 board

My local Modelzone in Croydon were selling the WSN T34's for £69.99 in the run up to Christmas last year. Havent seen any in there for a while now but you could give them a call to check stock or ex-display? Web site says no....

I forgot to mention in case you haven't seen it. My T34 start to finish:

As said already, nice tanks, lots of potential, just a bit hit and miss with regards to the stock electronics. Ive got two, one has blown 2 boards, one just keeps going.

thanks all for the great feedback and advice - I think a T-34 is going to Denmark shortly
