I believe you said above with true experience. did somebody do that to yourself and your remember that very good.


To promote this tank hobby, the first of all is to let the new people know what is in the market and difference between. Of course everybody will notice the difference of the price. like every hobby, it is about money. you can not get the best stuff if you do not have money. My advice is for those people who has the money and new to this hobby, so they will know the difference and shop wisely.

if you do not have money or do not want to spend that much money, buy a cheap one and have fun. you know you do not have the quality stuff. How many thread here stated people have problem with HL? and how many with tamiya? why can not I use the live example to tell new people that they should consider before spending the money. why do you keep telling new people HL is a good tank (actually it is not)? only because you have you yourself?
On the other hand, i will have no problem if you tell new people the price difference. it is not samething like OEM battery, they are marketed with different label even they are same quality, sanyo sell them more expensive because of their brand power, radio shack sell for less. that is called over pricing.
somepeople here keep telling new people that you get same thing at 10% of the tamiya price. it is not true, there is huge quality difference.

other people do not make feel dumb, only you make yourself feel dumb. state the reason why you did not make dumb decision by buying hl, so people will know you made a sound decision.

for those who bought HL tanks, have fun if yours is not broken, spend more money to fix if it does or you want to upgrade it. Why do you take my advice to new people as the insult to yourself?

Thank you for the compliments to my tank building though.

this is about advice to people who is new, not about those who bought HL already.
