Another positive about the Tamiya kits, is you get the experince of building the tank, which translates into knowledge of how they work. This allows a faster learning curve for trouble shooting and a better understanding of how to upgrade as you already know how your tank was put together. With HL or Taigen/Torro you would have a ready to run tank, but then comes the fun of tearing it down to upgrade it to better parts and electronics. I would suggest looking at the Tamiya Tiger I or II at Banzai Hobby. For $844, U.S. dollars, you get the Tiger II with Radio, battery and shipping is included. I based the price on shipping to 108 Rue Saint-Lazare, Paris, 75008, Īle-de-France, a hotel address in Paris, just to get an idea of shipping to France for you. Still not a bad cost considering what you get.
