ORIGINAL: Supreme Reign

Oh boy! I'm so jealous I can't believe you can still get these NIB. I like these better than my 2A6. I wish they'd remake them and make them Full Option.
Its interesting that on the 2A6 Tamiya went with the ABS hull, then on their latest release (Panther?) its back to a metal hull, and this one has the overhanging edges to help keep debris out. Keep in mind that I have not had any problems with the ABS hull, I've added about a pound and a half up front for better tracking/weight distribution/climbing and those twin 540s show no signs of stress due to the added weight, but then I would definitely have preferred the 2A6 with a metal hull. Can't wait to see 1A4 finished[8D]
