Generally yes. Heng Long & Taigen parts mostly fit each other, like gearboxes, wheels, turrets etc.. so the very most basic HengLong gears can be replaced with the best steel & ball bearing gears from Taigen. Same goes for HengLong / Taigen electronics. The different upgrade boards will fit either (DBC, Clark, Mako.. whatever)



The kit has good reviews. Thing is you're paying more for exactly the same thing that the assembled tanks give you, which isn't a big deal + you get to learn the guts of your tank.

Again I'd prefer the Tiger with a plastic turret.. those metal ones are reaaaally heavy and just add stress :P
