TankzoneUK are advertising the Kv-1 BBmetal upgrade at £209UK, yet Howes Models are offering the same tank at £99.99, with an extra battery. £110 difference? What's going on here?

I got nothing against Tankzone, but as a tank hobbist, I know there are some other suppliers that sells a much more at competitive prices. This is out of my budget tank zone..sorry.

It's things like this that prevents me from buying from Tankzone.

That is quite common for TZ too be 20 -30% higher than any one else. Don't know how they stay in buisness.

Ya know,....for some reason this brings to mind the debate over Raiden or similar Rc warehouses over our small personable business owners....I don't know why, since it's not really the same.....but it does.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all about supporting them! Unfortunately, I end up making them work for my money, with question after question....which is why I kind of feel bad when I decide to order a tank else where. But, in the end....they have what I need, so the money trickles back to them eventually anyway with the savings I made else where.

Some of the parts Tankzone sales you can't find some where else that easy so some keep buying from them .

That is true in most cases but often what they say they have turns out to be out of stock. It all boils down once again on who you trust to dobusinesswith.
