And then are you a modeler or not, some guys can make anything so they can buy a cheap tank and convert it into something amazing. Others, like me, can build a solid kit and be further ahead. I spent a lot of money and a ton of time making my RTRs work properly, I would have been time and money ahead building a kit. A person really has to answer alot of there own questions before getting a tank. What are you going to use it for? How talented of a modeler are you?
