Yes I have one replace the electronics in it and up grade the gearbox to HL other wise its got nice detail and put the DBRC2 in it to make it a better battle tank but hay just buy a HL Tiger and stick the DBRC2 in it save the money for a new radio like the Specktrum DX5e most people just buy the WSN T-34 cause its the only one out there .

Thanks

No comparison, the WSN Tiger is vastly superior out of the box. You'd dump an extra $100+ into a Heng Long or Matorro tank to get the same features you get from Trumpeters Tiger. I actually sold the Matorro Tiger in the pic to buy the yellow camo WSN/Trumpeter Tiger I, so now I've got both flavors! Compare...

nice! it has the edge on the hl in looks how are wsns tigers i terms of durability? i have the t-34 and find it a bit delicate compared to the hl tanks the plastic is much thinner

They're definitely flimsier than the HL. I have a T-34 as well and it has a similar build quality to the Tiger. Although the weight of the batteries is a confounder that I haven't allowed for, the WSN version is a couple of pounds lighter than the HL. As far as I remember about 3.5 versus 5.5 pounds.

Would certainly agree with petersen43 on looks out of the box.

hl are pretty tough before i started modding my pz3 i lost count of how many times i launched it off the garden steps or it fell off the ramp i made for it to get up the steps..all without so much as putting a scratch in it im finding with the t-34 that i have to add alu panels to the rear of the front and back plates to give strength and remove the deformation that is on my tank and it just "feels" altogether more delicate
