I'm seriously looking to buy a 1/8 or 1/6 th scale tank. But here's the rub . I read post after post about people saying that if you buy one of these tanks there $3,000.00 and up. well I've checked around and it seems that they are starting more like $5,000.00 and up. or do you tanker people know were these $3,000.00 tanks are. you in put would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Go here: http://greatmodels.com/

Then click on the "Battle Ready Armor" icon on the left hand side of the website.

Those models look great, and very cheap!!!!!
Has anyone here got one, and are they any good?

i havent but in a way they seem to cheap to be true!! [X(]

Battle Ready Armor's tanks are about as un-battle ready as they come. They are not a full kit, they are basically static (I dont even think they have suspension). They were, last time I heard, thinking about offering an RC conversion set to go with their tanks, but I havent seen it yet. It's basically a pre-cut metal kit you put together with rivets, no motors or electronics, just flat panels.

Not all that great and also not that cheap either. Anything over $200 on a retired buget is not cheap. [&o] Wacky seems to have the lo-down on these.

If you want to know more about 1/6 shoot me a pm. BRA is nolonger around. The designer (Randy Killen) is working on a new venture. You can see his M3 on the projects page on our website. [link=http://www.southwestarmorgroup.com]Southwest Armor Group[/link]. There is a link to his site on the links page also.

The 8th scale you may get for the 3K range, the 6th scale more the 5K range.

Alex's tanks (via Mark-1-tanks) start low 3K for the 8th scale and go up from there for 6th scale.

If u look extensively and carefully u might find used 1/6 or 1/8 scale tanks for sale on Ebay, they do come up regularly!!
