lets not start the Tamiya and others arguement - that will go nowhere fast.
Heng Longs are what they are and they are great for people that want to make changes and upgrade or just play around, plus their quality has moved ahead by measurable levels.

with RC tanks, there is Tamiya tanks and there is all the others, tamiya is always much more expensive but come complete (except for the RX/TX) and they gotTHE battle system as well, for all the others, you can get 2 henglong and fight between the 2 of you but unless you invest a bit, you will never be able to combat against tamiya tanks. Henglong tanks are pretty reliable...got 2 for more than a year and never broke anything on them and i'm a pretty rough guy, but I bought them with the metal tracks, sprockets and idlers so that makes them more resistant...if you only plan on fighting with your brother, you should be happy with 2 henglongs no problem...
