Motion RC has the Merkava listed but

[Milspec1]

They are out of stock already.

Probably they just created the spot on their site. $50 more than the next most expensive tank…

Toucanhobby.com still have several versions of the Merkava at excellent prices.

[Naveda08]

Better prices till you realize there's more to the cost of an online order, like shipping. motion can ship a tank for $54 at the cheapest and toucan is $131 with no other options. now toucan went from being the cheapest to more expensive then motion. on top of that toucan is only cheaper right now cause they have a sale on, come November they put the price back up to $400 for the same tank motion is selling for $370 before sale.

Shipping was $32 and I received it in two days from New Jersey. Just make sure you pick US stock when you buy from Toucan. A few of my buddies ordered some as well and had the same experience but they all ordered US stock. You can get a plastic tank for under $100 at Toucan right now that is hard to beat.

yeah they don't ship so stuck with the $131

Your partial information is very misleading. You did not mention your location nor where you ask Toucan to ship from.

I live in the US and have the same experience with Toucan US warehouse in New Jersey as @Naveda08. Shipping is much cheaper if you do not ask them to ship from China. I order a HL Merkava plastic version, add metal sprocket and idler wheel for a total of $241 including shipping of $26.60 to Chicago area. The ball bearings gearbox is another $80 from another seller.

Toucan RC has them in stock. US stock, Plastic version for $217.

Is the ML-59 gearbox the correct type for Merkava 3958?
