Hey all,


Im new to the hobby and just wondering how i could make my tank better? Im sure youve all heard this hundreds of times before so ill make it short....

I went into the hobby shop lookin jsut for a diecast Tank model and came out with the Matorro KingTiger R/C tank. I have a history in R/C vehicles (Nitro cars, Planes and Helos) But ive always wanted a tank because i love WWII history (Especially the Armour).

So i was just wondering how far i can get with my new tank? I love it so far and it runs great besides for the smoke feature. But does it come with IR capabilities? It says it is the multiplayer option but i dunno if thats just for the airsoft? What else can i add onto it to make it better and what tank should i get next?

Anyways thanks in advance for all the info guys!


Matt

Hey TigerDriver16,

Check out my Manufactures/Shop thread that is stickied at the top. There are many shops that can help you. Phil and Tankwars has upgrades for the Mattoro King Tiger like Metal gears and tracks, Reduction gears, etc... Check it out. I just got my HL pershing and it is so much fun. Happy Tanking.
