What do you think of these kits being that they are HL tanks? Notice if you scroll down past the first row of pix and look at the next set of three tanks... (special edition Tiger tanks) Notice their description... I was looking at the one that shows price of 299EU on the left of the page (Weathered) or the other two next to it for something like 189EU and so on. They have the new gears and RX-18 you speak of. Would these be good for playing around the yard? I would install higher output batteries and maybe better motors too with lots more torque.

Notice in the description about the tracks and wheels...

I like the Tamiya tanks very much but I don't think I can buy one of those right now, not sure yet.

Doe's anyone sell these tanks here in the states instead of just Tankzone? I can't imagine the shipping cost from TZ
