It's interesting to see when people claim Tamiya are the best, yadiyada and yet you see them with issues on the fields and the internet... Just like other tanks. Apparently if you damage one of the electronics you are SOL and have to pay a few hundred dollars to replace it now... If i have issues with my electronics/gearbox i know exactly who to contact and i know i will be WELL taken care of (that would be ImmortalHobbies).<div></div><div>What i don't understand is how people can compare a $100 tank to a $500-$1000 tank. Yes your much more expensive Tamiya is better than a $100 mass producedChinesetoy. No, your Tamiya isn't leaps and bounds better than a heavily modified/customized hobby grade r/c tank. Heck if done properly the difference is probablynegligible.</div><div></div><div>What i find not funny for Tamiya owners is when someone show's up with a perfectly tuned tank, that works just as well and sounds just as good (if not better) than their Tamiya for 20-40% cheaper (if not more). Granted i noticed most people don't care, and it's always the same people waving flags on the samehandfulof forums. As soon someone has a good tank, that cost less money than a Tamiya, here comes the flame war.</div><div></div><div>Now personally i love my modified Walterson KT, and i bet it's just as good as any OOB Tamiya KT. It also cost me a few hundred less and mine has a lot more metal than a Tamiya KT. I also had the fun of doing it myself just like someone building a Tamiya does.</div><div></div><div>Now do i care what someone runs? Nope... as long everyone is having fun.</div><div></div>
