looking for a good runner out of the box
been out of the tanks for awhile, I currently have 2 henglongs a stug and a jagdpanther. both just plastic versions. They were both decent runners for a short while, although the jag almost destroyed the plastic gears instantly, the stug was good until the idler wheel just got too sloppy, so I am in the middle of trying to figure out what to do with that. both were plastic versions.
I also have a newer tamiya kt with metal everything, but the tensions are complete garbage, so it is basically undriveable until I figure out a fix for that, and I also have single motor kt, and a bottom chassis of a leopard. They are not the best drivers due to the clutch system.
Anyhow, I was looking at some of the taigen tanks today and a lhs. They had one pIV with metal tracks that I was tempted to buy, but I have not been able to find any info on if it is even a good runner or not. I'm tired of modding stuff, and I just want a runner that doesnt need a bunch of fixes right off the bat. Frankly I was unimpressed with the tamiya kt,
I'right now, tanks I am considering, kv1 hl metal, a p3 from hl, original m4 full option sherman from tamiya, maybe something different. I'm not looking to spend more than about 500, and I dont care about accuracy, want durability and ability to actually drive it offroad.
I have read a bit about the taigenm stuff, but I am insure how they compare to metal hl versions since they all seem to be made in the same place.
If the metal tracked taigen pIV is a good runner I would happily go pick it up locally right now,. but I dont wanna jump into anything.
Thanks
