Default Time for a TAMIYA Tank.

I am going to purchase a Tamiya KT or M26 Pershing. I have a Heng Long new in the box Panzer IV F1 with all metal upgrades I do not need. If anyone is interrested in purchasing a Panzer IV F1 contact me thru Email.

I have both the KT and the Pershing. The Pershing is by far the most reliable of the 2. I love battling with it and it has never let me down. I've had issues with the recoil, elevation and traverse on the KT. I think it's because of the sheer size of the turret and barrel. I recommend the Pershing.

Can't go wrong with wither of them, IMO. I have both, and James helped me sort out the turret issues at Danville with the pershing. It mostly has to do with configuring the wiring correctly, but mine had a couple of other things too. It works great now. Thanks again, James!
The KT I bought new and built it ground up using a ton of aftermarket goodies from ETO and Daryl turner. I have no problem with the KT, aside from being afraid to break it at a battle day.

Yeah, hard-wiring and use only one DEANS connector (for the battery) and eliminate the aluminum plate. I had EXTREME fun building my Pershing and look forward to my 2 King Tigers as well.

If you want a great battler, get the Pershing and enjoy the ride while you're building it.

I wish I could hti the lottery and not have to wake up[ in the morning...
In any case, any choice of tank you decide on will be alot of fun to build and run. Guys here on the forum know the ins and outs of the tamiyas very well, and they can help you to build the tank the right way, the first time. Just ask questions. Good luck and keep us posted.
