Hey,

I have 4 Taigen tanks (Tiger I Late Metal Edition, Jagdpanther half metal, Pantiger metal tracks only, Panzer IV plastic)

I can say both the Tiger and Jagdpanther are excellent. Very good construction, great details, and out of the box they both run terrific. I do not hold back when running my tanks, and those two have not failed yet.

The plastic tanks have not held up as well. When run hard they break, mostly the idler wheels come off or road wheels become very loose. So more bench time with these guys. But they were half the cost.

The Tiger/Jagdpanther were around $400 each, and the quality is there, awesome tanks, tons of fun, very proud to own them. The other two I paid less than $200 each, and well, they just do not run as good.

In the future, I am going to stick to the metal versions, worth the money for me. BUT the paint jobs and detail on each Taigen tank are quite nice. I have no time/patience for painting, so this is a nice upgrade for me. Service from Erik (Imex) has been great too!

A torro KT is on the way, so I will compare then.

I am in Canada as well, splatterpaintball and immortalhobbies are the two places I have made repeated purchases from. Great shops.
