RE: I understand the HL vs. Tamiya controversy
It's a matter of driving a Chevy, Ford or Dodge.. the same goes with HL or Tamiya as a RC tank..
It's an opinion who makes a better tank...and really both have STRONG followings...
Tamiya has been around for years and HL has not..however HL's marketing must listen to the customer because the improvements have been steady and the quality
of the units sold are good. When it comes down to it, somebody here hit the nail on the head.. it does down to what you can afford and for the price and performance
of the HL and it potenial to be a real looker and performer..well you figure the cost of upgrades added on to the tank and you have a minature tank..compared to a Tamiya tank that's RC but no metal tracks or heavy duty gearbox/motor for $600+ compared to a $180...my money goes to the HL tank..
