I got a T-34/85 for Christmas and is a great tank. Got some Duracell AA 2650mAh NiMh batteries in it and last for ages (over 2 hours). Only gripe is getting use to the controller (left stick left track, right stick right track). Plus I’ve heard that it is also discontinued (whether true or not) so get it quick.
Also recommend the KV-1 I have the HL one. Just got to be careful as the idle wheels appear to be the week point on these. But I’ve put 3:1 gearboxes in mine and planning to get the Asiatam metal hull soon.
Also have two HL Tigers 1, one plastic version and other is the pro with a load of metal upgrades (Hull, Main gun, hatches, mud flaps, etc) really enjoy the heavy one as feels realistic the plastic one feels like a toy afterwards.
Anyway all these tanks are fun which ever you get. So all good fun.
Ian.
