The 3 grand was the originally posted SRP. But you see what i meen.i dont think even Tamiya thought they could get 3 grand for a pre biult tank. <div> I just dont like to see guys get hooked into these "Custom tanks" that are only a fancy paint job and some proper corrections to make them run properly like they should have from the start. especially for the money they want. I'm a firm believer in buying it and building it your self. Granted, not everyone has the ability or time or pkysical condition to do it. there is no shame in that. But it just reminds me of the guys that walk into a Harley Dealership and add every piece of "Custom " junk on their brand new bike most of them dont even know how to ride yet and call them "Custom Fabricated Bikes" They spend an extra 2 to 3 thousand dollars on custom painted tin from the factory. Well if it cam from the factory it aint custom, because there is at least a thousand other guys out there with the exact same "Custom Bike" Another Burr in my saddle.</div>
