Well, I just had to add another RC tank to my collection, and I chose the German Tiger 1. Bought it through Amazon.com from Delta-LT with the 360-degree turret, metal track, drive and idler wheels. It was a good deal less expensive as it would have cost me elsewhere for all the extra options it came with, and it only took 3 days for it to arrive after I placed the order - WOW!
Even my cat approved of it!

My son's M26 with Heng Long's very loooong M26 recoiling barrel.
And, my left over Tiger turret used as a bunker. It's IR and causing damage. 3D printed M18 about to get stung.
I thought this would be a good introduction. Here’s my first tank and first time taking pics so bear with me. A Taigen, metal, BB Early Tiger I. Just the first that started the snowball:
Red 390s in a T34 is just fun overkill 👍👍. I am sure like mine that thing flys. Good thing you have the added weight. After a while though I swapped all of mine back to 380s. Needed the slower scale speeds and slightly reduced handling for IR battles. 390s actually were a handicap more then of a value in battling with the T34.
But for backyard fun and smiles 390s rule the day in the T34.
My Heng Xin gearbox came with the Red390 and I just left them in. I have on my bench both Tamiya380 and Taigen Black380 if I want to change. But you are right, for backyard fun, the 390 is ok too.
BTW, the Heng Xin gearbox does not fit the T34. I have to grid off a piece of the gearbox case and some tank wall thickness to fit it. NOT recommended for anyone.
From the Jan. 22, 2023 San Diego tank clubs IR battle day. It was the first battle day for my Pacific Theater themed Sherman and where it earned its war name. After scoring five consecutive victories without being knock out, it was given the war name “Ace N a Day”. Its NOT easy to score two or more consecutive victories against experienced player like were present. Was it just LUCK, probably, but here is to keeping my fingers crossed “Ace N a Day” can keep up the great start to her career.

It must be a battle scared T-34/85. It lost all the small parts and gas drums. The T-34 has the best paint job among my HL's as is. It is lighter than most HL too. I added 2 pounds of lead to make it run better on rough ground.
Looks better in the dirt than in the shop! Very cool ride from my early 80’s Army days in Korea! This M-60 has moved to the front of my short list of upcoming buys! Are there many options and upgrades available? Can you share a link to where you got it? Thanks in advance! Ken!
Upgrades for this one aren't out yet, but metal upgrades are supposedly coming after the Chinese New Year.
# Current stock for pre-order customers and the third batch will be delivered after CNY long holidays. Please check with us before you place an order since it has to wait a bit until the factory resume in mid-February. Looks like another pre-order from BangGood:
