Default RE: Why are Tamiya tank so expensive?

One question..Do you or any other Henlong owner ,have seen, or own a Tamiya Tank,???If not how can any of you even comment on this subject???? I have Both Tamiya and Henlong....Tamiya Tanks are RC Tank Models,lower hull is all metal,metal sprockets bushings,suspenion arms all metal ,Real gearboxes w/ metal gears (not stamped)..controls and functions are also night and day ....For instance..move the sick on transmitter a little to move the turret and it moves slowly move it more and it moves faster...Total control.......Real sound recorded from actual surviving tanks.....Hen longs are TOY tanks all plastic ,lite...generic sound....inferior electronics...but fun as toys.....these are my thoughts as I do own both.
also I think maybe it might be a good idea to have a Tamiya section to this forum as it seem that this board seems to be about 98% Hen long topics.......what does everyone else think...vote?
