Did DKLMRC.com resume shipping to US yet?

Nice to see it. I wish I could understand Chinese, especially at the end of the video where three tanks were compared.

On the Toucan website it would only allow me to pay with Paypal.

Paypal is a good way to protect your privacy information such as the credit card.

For those that purchased the new E8. Did your payment options include only Paypal or bank transfer?

Anyone have a link for this Easy 8?

[761st]

Thanks David!

Very cool! Is the lower hull metal and is there recoil? Question. First impression, is this a good purchase? Wanting to pull the trigger. I like the controler design.

Came across this on another site. Chinese unboxing.

Any updates on the "new company" E8?

[761st]

Thank you David. I heard the board looks a lot like the 7.0.

[DavidN]

The manufacture is Hercules Hobby.

[761st]

I queried Toucan, but all they would say is that it is a new manufacturer. I looked for AF Models, but didn’t find any sites. Maybe DKLM will get one to evaluate.

DKLM is taking pre-orders for an early May expected delivery. He states even the plastic version will have meal gearboxes. Wise move! HKD $1399 is USD $179. Hopefully Motion RC will get a shipment, to save shipping costs.

DKlM told me a gun stabilization system was made for the henglong 7.1 but was not marketed.

If your using a real radio and like a Clark system, you could use a submarine dive plane gyro, but your gun would re level after every movement. You would have to aim it up or down for each **** as it would only stay in that position as long as you held the stick there.

[SoCalBobS]

On another topic, has none had success making a working gun stabilization? Putting one on the M2128 would be mighty tempting.

I had the Hooben E8. It's definitely not the Hooben but could be an improved version? The Hooben did not have BB options, metal tracks or bearings. It also was nowhere near as nicely modeled/detailed. The Hooben E8 was actually not a bad tank mechanically other than it used plastic on plastic wheels/suspension which quickly wore out. The electronics were trash too.

A little Birdy says there's more on the way on a slow cruise.

What bugs me about this on their site is that the item number starts with "HH". I'm thinking that means "Hooben Hobby". From the description, it sounds like a Hooben tank. I know the price is slightly less than Hooben, but that is my fear for the HVSS version. I hope I get proved wrong and that it's a good tank, but I'm not holding my breath. :)
