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

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

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

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
