I have heard the Tangien had addressed most of the problems with the HL Tiger. Even track tension etc. Cost is an issue. I had not thought of doing the hull myself. Not too experienced in this.More to think about before purchasing. I do want the torsion bar suspention.. It looks like it operates better.

Thanks I have time to consider everything.
If you want realism then most likely a 4:1 gearbox will be better. It will be a bit slower but will have more torque. It will also be a bit slower which will match the realism you are looking for. Yes, the Tiger 1 has had a major overhaul and is quite nice. There are two track tensioners and there is a lot of adjustability, and the torsion bar suspension is very nice. We also offer the Tiger 1 in metal or plastic versions so pricing is a little flexible depending on your spending range. We also offer multiple colors, the plastic gets either desert yellow or a flat grey while the metal version gets an airbrushed grey (early version) or a brown camo (late version).
I hope all this helps, please let me know if you would like some pictures or more clarification on our Taigen tanks
