Dan I think I'm on the same page with you and agree with you on the cheaper HL. I have on order the Heng Long Tiger 1 with metal gears and metal tracks with 2.4 transmitter. The all metal body doesn't impress me. After I paint it you can't tell it's plastic. I will have no problems with the outer cosmetics. That's kind of my specialty,1/35 static models. I like the metal tracks though because they have the proper sag. It's easier to do realistic battle damage on a plastic body than on metal. I'm going to paint it in winter camo. This is just a personal endeavor in a much more larger scale. I want it to be a neat conversation piece. I want people to look at it and say "that looks and sounds like the real thing". Like I stated when it comes to the electronics, that's when I get lost. Tim
