RE: Hobby Engine M1A1 - Modifications
Phil at RCTankWars is the only USdistributorthat I know of. I also think that he only carries the Abrams and knot the LEO which i believe he should as that is a great tank also. the guns on these tanks are toys, because these tanks are toys. A great deal of work goes into building these tanks into true RC quality tanks. Just go back and read the threads on all the modifications that need to be done too these Tanks. They ARE NOT FOR THE FIRST TIME BUYER, if you are expecting something even close too HL standards. Which they are not. Now, Phil is no longer doing custom builds of these tanks either, so if you do buy one you are on your own. But there are plenty of us here who are happy too help and do so freely. These tanks are fairly expensive considering the work needed but they are a very good solid basis for a good tank. It is a commitment to take on one of these, unless you just want it as a toy to play with. Which is perfectly fine, there is no shame in that. There really just is no great source for modern day armor that is not in the VERYexpensivecategoryother than these tanks.
