I have HL Shermans and I also have Taigen/Toro Shermans. All my Sherman tanks have small tracks with those single road wheels. The Tamiya Sherman is so nice in term that it has those wide tracks with double road wheels. I would like to own a world war II one. Does anyone know where I can get an RC one at the 3 digit price ? Much obliged!

Ebay and swapmeets, thats where I look for them. But you need to learn the differences. There are 4 versions of the tamiya sherman. The first was driven like your leopard, with one motor and servo clutches to steer. The second was called the computerized sherman and had a programmer to make the tank do a series of straight and turns in a pattern you pre set. It has cheesy hobby motors in it. The 3d was the DMD sherman with an early 2 channel drive only DMD unit.
All 3 of these shermans do not have a way to operate the turret or do any battle operation. They just drive around. They also do not have bearings in the wheels, the wheels just push onto the cast axles and eventualy wear out.
The last version is called the full option which is what people are used to seeing as a modern model from tamiya. Full tank operation and option to plug the IR battle system into the MFU.
The kit has bushings to install in the wheels but can be upgraded at the time of building with ball bearings, highly recommended to do this. The Super Sherman is also this style.
Hope this helps your search for a tamiya sherman.RC tank parts and accessories I make
