Hello Dap,
I agree if you can get a good one for $250.00 or less they are a bargin.I was planning on buying one of the $600.00 dollar 1-6 metal kits until I got hold of one of these guys,saved me a lot of money and this is the size I was after.These tanks are also a good canidate for other up-grades depending on what you want to spend on one, and how far you want to go.Just in general the suspension seems to be well made and if properly cared for appears to me it will perform for a long time.Every thing is heavy duty looking to me for what these sold for.

P.S. when I first got to looking at the pictures of them I thought they were kind of goofy looking,Now having one I must say they grow on you and are neat looking tanks.The only thing that don't look right to me is the gun,it's to short and needs to be able to be lowered if wanted. BIGMIG
