i think hl is a underestimated company , they have really nice peoples or service over there and they really want to sell ,they even sent previews of their tanks and extra goddies to sale with resellers orders.
great and fast replies they work long hours too.

but !!

looks like china really want u.s.$$ badly,
they will produce whatever you want in shantou.
they made that gigantic shantou like complex for occidental needs(that scares me a little).

to tamiya resellers and clubs :
they started to to invade all the markets,atv and mx(bikes),false antiques that the wood crack 2 years later,
one usage screwdriver tools , etc... .

ex.: they sell the complete new motor for a dirtbikes 100$(resellers prices).
will you still pay a mechanic to fix your used motor when you get a complete (new)engine with japaneses quality copies, ready to bolt(4bolts) for a price cheaper then a mechanics bill ?

o.k the carburators are not well tuned(like an hL ,needs a little
adjustment with the floats , air screw ,dum parts that brakes)but they work,i think it is because it is non-experimented employees or kids) that build them.

does it sounds familiar?(some tams equipment system is more expensive
then a complete full electronics vstank).


so the bottom line is:

how can you compete with a company that has a brand new buildings almost free from the
government and cheap fully devoted disposable employees that is scared to loose their jobs?
looks like a desperate cause.

And has quantities overstepped quality issues ?

i think the answer is yes. myself(not my style)
have bought x# of hL (was cheaper) instead of one tamy f.opt. quality tank = free tanks for me and few $$ and a business opportunity that i`m not willing to do since the profits/time ratio(gas and gov.paperworks) is not that good and the prices are at the lowest.
only real hobby shops could gained selling hL (buy the volume).


posting a topic like this would have helped you more (tamiya resellers and club owners),
then saying hL tanks are (junk-crap-hammer),refusing hl club members(corrected) --on battlefields---
and loose clients( me and others ) and new hL clubs that are poping up.

maybe i will go buy kt from hongkong cowboy time will tell ,because n.americans dealers should learn respect (hL sellers included)
even if it`s seam crap in your heads .

may i suggest a new words to you when :
Low quality panzers instead of insults.

despite my anger ,seams like i still like you guys(some good i.q. here) ,
why would i still post in here: the hL owners #1 insults site(have noted
improvement here this week,thanks all).
