ok i took delivery of a mato sherman today (stevies sherman), il start by saying im very happy with it and the paint job is second to none, well done stevie , on to the tank its self, i know most people say the set up isnt very good and i agree, the main gun fire is a joke, it pulls a wheelie as a recoil , and things could be better but the sound of the squeaky tracks is great, if only you could have say an rx18 with this sound would be great, but i do think the tank is a great one (my opinion) not sure if i will fit an rx18 as i like the sound this has, ive built a bigger speaker box and that has made a difference. but if you fit better electrics and a good paint job with some extras then your left with a nice sherman, like the way mato have fitted metal+rubber tracks.
im going to get rid of the lights though as led are to bright, il find a tamiya mg and fit that and add some of my own touches in the next few months, so what are your opinions on the mato sherman? im happy

Glad to see your happy with it Trev the electronics are basic but I liked the sound of it better than the Heng Long and the mato tanks somehow keep their price try getting a cheap KT even though they have been out a couple of years. Some of the guys on here have put the running gear on their Tamiyas so they can't be that bad I have also changed the .50 cal for a tamiya one as the standard one is too big so you won't have to buy one happy tanking.

yep i agree with you stevie, and some of the details they added is way better than heng long, they done the sherman proud i think
