Birthday Dilema

[KV1s]

Hi Guys

Missus is now coming round to the tank thing (knew it wouldn't take long) lol

She has given me a choice for my B/Day in 7-8 weeks time...

A Tamiya with maybe radio gear (or i could strip out the H/L)

or.......another H/L Kv with ALL the metal upgrades (hull,wheels,tracks etc)..

What i want to know is,,,the metal hull comes with suspension,is it true torsion bar or pretend like the H/L

Also,it doesnt come with road wheels,will my plastic 1s fit or will i have to get a metal set?

Help Please

Aaron, all tamiya tanks have the correct susspension
My tiger 1 and Jagpanther have the correct suspension and the swing arms face the correct way on both sides of the tank

Ok..what comes in a tamiya box,apart from a lot of plastic bits and a book on how to put it together..lol

[FireflyKeith]

Very good electronics (amazing sound) very good gearboxes and all the fun of putting it together do you know what Tamiya you will go for if you take that route

I must admit the only 2 tanks i like the look or are the Kv1 and the Tiger1..just been looking at wonderland website and a F/O Tiger1 is £503 plus £100 for a 4ch radio ans 2 batts...seems a bit of a bargain..

You should be able to get a better price than that , i'll have a look around, as for the transmitter, you can pick one up for just over £50, i cant remember what type they are but i know Paul (septon) uses one, maybe he will shed some light

[septon]

the radio gear i can get is the planet T5 2.5 gig for £55 with the return spring fitted the the throatle

Very nice

Is it a case of left stick-left track etc or do they run the same as H/L...

[FireflyKeith]

You can get a f/o Tiger from Hong Kong on ebay, for £440 including the postage, i got my Sherman from Hong Kong, and its just as easy as buying in this country, and with the transmitter Paul can get (great price) thats under £500 for the lot
