Default Regarding buying from RCTank.de

Hi all!I was thinking of getting a full option HL Tiger or IVF2 from Rctank.de and looking at the amount of upgrades listed.It seem to be a rather good buy but before making my purchase and being quite a newbie,I would like to find out more from fellow board members about this vendor and the experiences of purchasing from them.Your input will be appreciated greatly..thank you

Hi there,

as a very new person to the model tank world myself I am beginning to buy parts from various sites, mostly from ebay. I've purchased a rust paint set from RCTank.de and it was a very quick delivery time. I've made another purchase from them so they seem to be ok.

I bought my very first RC tank from him, at the times when he was just the user "kissingersommer" on evilbay. After that I bought parts and spares, until he opened his online shop at the rctank.de domain. All of his tanks came with a 2000 mAh Ni-Mh battery when the standard was the 1700 mAh Ni-Cd.
Very friendly, and helpful. I would definitely recommend him.

Cheers..Thank you very much or your input..I nvm know impact tracks originate from SG [X(].I just taken a look at Havoc Hobby which is based in Australia.It's too bad they only offer the most basic HL S&S with metal transmission.etc thou the Matorro King Tiger looks tempting . The reason why I'm interested in RCtanks.de is they offer full customised and metal upgraded HL tanks,given our hectic life over here [:'(],I have but only limited time to built a tank up myself.I admit the shipping and tax from Europe is rather up thou..

The upgraded tanks appear to be the same that AsiaTam sells. You might want to compare them and their prices and go from there.

HI There why not buy the super version from hobby havoc then buy impact tracks localy you will have a better tank and should be cheaper in the long run itonly takes about 10 min to change the tracks and sprockets and idlers.

I bought a Panzer IV custom paint job from there. Top notch sellers and it arrived quickly and well packed. Highly recommended!
