Status: offline 		Hello everyone,

Is there any interest in the WSN T34 tanks. They are the early versions without IR (green version). I have a chance to pickup a few dozen of them but before I commit, wanted to see if there's any interest. I've read that some of you have already purchased them and swapped the guts for Heng Long electronics.

Thanks for your input.

Bill

That should be a decent mover for you, especially with the modders out there looking for Soviet tanks. While you're at it, see about stocking Imperial Modelbau's kits. Between you & Blltz, am certain you could move a few RTR SU-76 & 100.

Thanks Chuck.

To your point on Imperial - I'd love to get something going with them but they simply won't respond to numerous inquiries over the last several weeks. I'll give them a try one or two more times and see what happens.

Bill

Status: online 		The WSN T-34 is a good kit but of course it depends on price - I got mine for $55 and its great for that. The suspension arms are weak and it uses self tapping screws for the wheel axles. It would be nice if you could also stock the upgrade parts to rectify its weak points. I was thinking the same thing as Chuck, if you could stock some of those euro upgrade kits it would be cool, I don't have the patience to wade through the german etc.

Status: online 		You're probably not getting a reply from Andy since he already has a local dealer who occasionally gets mentioned in the forums. I'd think you would able to press home the advantages of having another US dealer who actually carries the HL & WSN line.

Status: offline 		I would also be interested in these earlier versions. I had thought they were completely dried up from the marketplace. The latest IR versions are, sadly, a reverse of the usual trend in terms of product improvement. They definitely did not follow the Heng Long example.

I'll definitely take one, I have the SU85 kit on order from Tankzone and I'd prefer a green donor chassis for it (I've got 2 white T34's already)

Kin at Tankzone indicated that the Imperial Modelbau guys were on holiday until next week (he was having trouble getting stock for my order because of that), so don't give up hope on a reply just yet! The only other dealer in the US, that I know of atleast, rarely has stock of Imperial's kits

Thanks
Martin

Status: offline 		Sounds Like the interest is still there. The T34 is a great tank when you drop in Heng Long electronics and gears. To be honest the new gear box and electronics used in the in the stug would be great in a T-34.

Bill.

Make sure you stock these stug gears and get some of the new ESC's as well. They would be perfect for the T-34 conversion.

Yes, price is certainly a factory. Would be for me, too. You certainly got a great deal. Thanks, too, for your input. Our prices will be $70.

And, I heard back from Imperial so we'll definitely be a dealer for their products.

Bill

Thanks for the encouragement, Martin. I did hear back from Imperial - we will soon be a dealer of Imperial parts and will try to stock as many of their products as we can.
