Mato's new tanks are not fashioned after Heng long in anyway. I also understand all Mato metal tanks now come with bearings, servo recoil and Clark electronics with a 2.4 ghZ hobby radio. ( When sold as RTR) So they are in fact another animal

Re lee

I know what I have paid for Resin before and this offering is inline with what I paid for those. It looks like a nice casting and is the easist way to get a Lee unless you want to spend weeks scratch building your own.

Shipping with insurance is expensive on an item this size. You can't expect people to sell things and lose money. Could be the guy got a shock at the post office when he shipped the first one, and just recalibrated his price. Although wasn't the original shipping price quoted at 40 Euros. I am not sure of the chronological order in which things went down, but at the end of it you get a Lee for under $400 with a donor chassis included. Seems inline to me if I really wanted a Lee..

Free market economy I guess. IF you don't like the price on this Lee I guess you can buy one somewhere else.
