I put the same motors that my Tamiya has. Why shouldn't it take the same motors. Yes I got what I paid for a cheap Tamiya tank copy. That's what I expected.The others on this thread don't like the lazer version. We've got club members that have taken the the other versions and invested the money to put the tamiya gear in them.If you watched the video you'll see a Russian tank.
As for the HL tank I got "I got exactly what I paid for- it's sitting on the shelf".
