hi again !

my opinion on the full customize ones is that the colors are better,bad side the details(cable shovels,cables are not painted) like the original ones.
i do`nt really like the yellow color, but i think it is the one that looks in reality, the less toyish stock (if i can say so) .

you might also check those extra customized ones, but the price ...

now lets talk about your stuka : it is a awesome model that you have built, the painting on it is absolutely outstanding ! nice work my friend ,
one day will try to built that stuka ,what is the price of that one?
you msmit looks good too ,but your stuka colors really out stands .

the oldest hl tanks have red lights ,be careful they do produce non s&s with white leds ,without sound and smoke.
the transmitter have and a-b-c switch instead of a crystal on the controller,their are too fast in my opinion,but the old circuit board seams to last)and the plastics gears(1 gener.)strips.

go for the full metal if you can (135$) that way you will get the metal tracks for a good price.
work a deal(email) with murphy(mato) to send you and extra circuit board in the package for your other tank or reserve(they cost peanuts for him).

of course tamiyas are better(electronics and hull)
but for most of the important parts,
their prices are expensive like all japanese parts(honda-toyota-suzuki-sony) if you can afford it go tamiya or better, full metal tanks 1:8 scale armortek.

but for an manual man who can use a soldering iron and screwdrivers,
in the low prices tanks , hl and marui-vstanks have the best quality-price ratio (i think).

buy the way , my salutations to : swathdiver , sownare and hpiguy
