Pulled the Trigger!
 

Well after weeks of deciding which brand and model of Tank I wanted to get...I went ahead and purchased a New Taigen T34 Airsoft Version from Ebay in Snow Camo even though we dont get snow out here in the tropics lol...Had no other choice as I couldn't find a hobby shop that could ship out here to Guam or have what I wanted in stock and to go thru a local hobby shop here I'd pay way over the MSRP of the tank. Can't wait to get it...should be here in about 7 days. This will not be my last purchase as I plan on getting a few more to build up my collection...I was going for the Old King Tiger with the Porche Turret(Plastic) but I don't like loading the battery from underneath....and couldnt find the Newer Version of the King Tiger with the Henschel Turret. All in All I can't wait! My next one if I can find it will be the KV1.

Glad you got the good color :) I like the winter scheme myself although just like you we have no snow here. In fact, my gf has never even seen snow!

You made a good choice and welcome to the hobby :P

Don't let that Guam sand into the hull! Bad! ;)

lol yea I won't run it in the sand...maybe lol but I may have to do a lil water proofing for those rainy days we get here. I have seen snow on the ground when I went to Minnesota for training for my work...oh and it was 28 degrees not including wind chill...I love the cold weather but that was kinda extreme for my taste lol

I run my tanks in nothing but sand! Just a bit of waterproof grease around the drive axle should prevent most of the sand getting to the gearboxes. It is pretty easy to get to the suspension to clean as well if you think you get too much sand in it.

That's a very solid and awesome tank to start with (I have the green IR version).

Finally received my T34. Got the Batt charging and will give it a test run after work..still need to get the AA's for the controller..Here are a few pics:
