Posted this in another forum, but not getting any replies. Maybe I'll have better luck here.
Been into RC for 30+ years. Have them all, (Helis, boats, quads, cars, motorcycles and subs.) but never owned a RC tank. Looked at the Tamiya tanks, but way more than I would like to spend on something I may not enjoy. I've been looking at the Taigen and Heng Long tanks which are more reasonable. My budget is between $200-$300 give or take a few bucks. My concern is the dependability of these tanks. I know things
can and will go wrong, but many of the reviews state after a few mins/runs the tanks start to fall apart. Are the tanks that bad as stated in many of the reviews? Granted many of the reviews are a bit old. Has quality changed recently for the better? I'm looking/considering the ones in the link below. Any information/ advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.....

REALLY like the one shown below. I was ready to order this one, but thought I better check with you guys first. Leaning towards the Taigen brand because the support I've read/seen that Erik at Imex provides. Plus Imex is not far from me. (45 min drive.) Is the tank a good buy at $300.00 after shipping?
