Hello all,
First of all let's introduce myself : I'm Marc, a french guy of 35 years old, living...well, in France..
I'm currently looking to get my first R/C Tank...that's why I register to his forum, to get good advices for this choice
As RC experience, I had quite of lot of experience on electrical buggy...but 20 years ago (I use d to have a Tamiya GrassHopper II). I also built some static models..but in fact I guess I prefer R/C.
Now I would like to get into R/C tank world.
For R/C tank I'm looking for the more realistic R/C model in terms of speed, rotation of hull/turret, gun elevation/depression, rate of fire, and eventually noise. Metal models for wheel is a must. Last point I would like an upgradable plateform.
I'm looking for a 1/16 Tiger I or Tiger II for the moment.
I've already found several models, but I can't sort them out, maybe you will be able to help me :
Here are my questions :
- BB bullets or IR?
- On henglong Tiger 1, I find the spinning speed far too quick
- Tamiya seems to have the more realistic behaviour (sound, gun elevation/depression)..but it's the most expensive and I need to buy separately the transmitter/receiver/power pack
- What about build quality of all models?
- what are your advice in general?
Thank you in advance for your help/advice!
