Tanque

Anyone have the skinny on these folks? They have items at far too_good_to_be_true levels and usually these sorts of things aren't true...

Hmm, this seems kinda suspicious. The fact its chinese but is only catered to western audiences is concerning. Also the fact that they have only the tanks on there that are mouthwatering for rc tank collectors and not really any cheap ones is creating even more skepticism. It also says that unless your cart is more than 300, it will not give wholesale price. Maybe it is legit? They could possibly buy these in bulk for a lower price, but idk. Kinda strange.

the prices of some of those Tamiyas seem too good to be true

Agree with all you guys said... plus. They only want to be paid by Western Union or direct Bank transfer/ wire.
All their social media references, Facebook, Twitter are just links to the respective media home sites not their own page( I can't find ANY reference within FB for them. Cannot find any testimonials on the web regarding them at all.

All email accounts are with gmail, never a good sign.

I wont be first to order

The link doesn't even go to the address posted. It goes to an intermediate one.

Don't even consider ordering from these clowns! Western Union or bank transfer? You have zero recourse when you don't get your goods. If my aging memory serves this same scam was going on in western Canada and US almost a decade ago.

Tanque

Yeah they have some non- tank related stuff that is way too good to be true. price-wise. experience has shown that too good to be true prices are just that....

You know that line attributed to Barnum( but there's no evidence he really said it):..." There's a sucker born every minute"

Seems like a lot of work to go through on creating a really professional website for a scam. If only people would put this much effort into legitimate pursuits...
