RE: abrams
Well it is interesting cause its an abrams and there dosnt seem to be very many 1/16 scale ones that are not a 700+ dollar tamiya brand. if this is your first tank, it would be ok. no clue what brand that is.

RE: abrams
I would not get it. It has no suspension and runs off rubber band style tracks. It will not last very long and the last time i checked the 1000+ dollar aluminum lower hull, suspension and metal tracks are out of production.

RE: abrams
The Abrams was the first in line...........in some of the german forums, most of them have been modified using the leopard (tamiya) chassis and gearboxes. My son bought one, way to fast, no suspension, tracks are worthless. He says the only good thing is that the detail is somewhat OK.

RE: abrams
I have the Hobby Engine 1/16 Leopard 2A5, and it's a decent looking tank. It's big compared to the HL 1/16 Tiger I. I will fix the control by giving it a proportional ESC. Now if only I can find either plastic tracks or metal tracks for it, then I'm all set.
