Yes I understand the great quality of all Tamiya products. I have never owned Tamiya RC's but they really are pricey and one day I just might scratch enough money togetherto purchase one, but withlittle money left out of the house hold buget I will have to live with one of the HL's. I certainly would not be over zealous in using a Tamiya tank if Iwas to use the airsoft system.I would ratheruse an HLfor that. From whatI have seen the replacement partsat my local hobby shop are hugh pricey, one can purchase a HL for the same cost. Did you realize that just a kit alone is over $800.00. So it looks like the toy for me........for now
