Click on the Taigen ad that often comes up as the header for the forum. They have a spot on the top of their home page that lists their dealers across the nation. To my suprise, I discovered that my local hobby shop in Casper, Wyoming now stocks Taigen. Casper is a small market in a state with the smallest population. They had already sold 11 tanks
(now 12) since they started stocking them. They said they would order anything they did not have, but since the Taigen site did not list the Tiger II with full metal upgrades and partial metal underbody I walked out with it. Will have to see about durability and then change the electronics package to allow for Tamiya IR package. jot
PS. Their site lists 11 dealers in Florida.under "Where to buy".

Cool! I actually did find the distributer IMEX which is in Central Florida but they wanted $340 + $19 shipping + tax! Thats straight list price. I also found a dealer by me but they had a bad experience when they got their first batch of Taigen's and sent them all back to IMEX and now wont carry them. I ended up getting a KV Super Metal from Midea Toys for $189 shipped.

Is the Taigen KV have a metal hull?

looks like the asiatam hull, if so then its 90% metal hull and 100% metal suspension and wheels.

As TAIGEN and HENGLONG are not manufactured in the same factory and have no connection ..... TAIGEN tanks are only available through TAIGEN authorized dealers ..As listed in our website ...Thank you IMEX

Yawn. Whatever. Its just another brand of toy tanks from Shantou & I'd bet anything the tooling came out of HL's shop.

Congrats on the new line. Lets hope they sell better than your past line of ARTR boats from KY Models.

Only available from 'authorized' dealers, of which you list 17 in Florida? If so, then why did you offer to sell a tank to Archelo instead of recommending a dealer to him?

he didn't say he bought a Taigen he said they were too much money so he got a KV-1 super metal which he probably means he got the super version with metal upgrades
