Good Morning,
I did a Google Search on the Modelworks 1\8 Tiger 1 and found an older detailed thread on another UK Tank forum. It was available with petrol or electric motor systems and had coil spring suspension like the current Mark 1 Tanks. Company is kaput so parts will be catch as catch can. With money, time and attention to detail, it can be built into a spectacular running Model. The again, any of them could with those factors covered. *Grinz*
Regards,
Painless

Good Morning.
One Tanker said he ran his with a TAMIYA DMD and a couple of NiCAD batteries so the weight shouldn't be an issue. Here is the thread I mentioned earlier: http://fraserker.com/winson/articles/ca ... age_01.htm and: http://www.uktank.org/phpbb3/viewtopic. ... 88615aa529
Good Luck,
