Hey, Quest.

I see you are branching out from the Tamiya F-350. If you are still enjoying your Highlift, you would love a Tamiya tank (both good quality), but a HL will help you determine if you have enough interest for that kind of purchase. Some people buy four or five HL tanks, rather than one Tamiya and are happy. I've owned a few of each and they all need
something, IMO. Tamiyas can't be beat for better realism, but they aren't perfect and have their own weaknesses. Hen Long prices allow you to get your feet wet and learn as you try to modify them and make them more accurate, without borrowing money from the bank.
Good luck with your first tank! We'll be here to help. [sm=thumbup.gif]
