Anyone have experience with Mato's metal Tiger's or Panzers? is it worth the money going all metal? what are your experiences?

| There is nothing wrong with all metal as long as you have a driveline to support them. Heavier tank = more driveline stresses and required force to move. Usually however, they can go through taller grass and have a more realistic track look to them.
Only ever seen Mato Sherman's myself however... |

| Totally understandable in regards to weight and the stress on the driveline. I’m currently deciding between the panzer 3 or king tiger unpainted. Still deciding if I should get the IR versions or just get the static ones and put my own R/C gear in them. |

| Cindy's Stug III is MATO all metal. A little issue with track tension but over all nice tank. _____________________________________________ [b]You may be a king or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later you dance with the reaper! - Death[/b]

| NP! It might be better to take pics and send them to ya. The border isn't likely to reopen for a while yet. _____________________________________________ [b]You may be a king or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later you dance with the reaper! - Death[/b]

we could always send a rc boat across the river. if anything it would be funny to see the look of the custom peoples face to see a rc tank being smuggled across the border then returned _____________________________________________ I do things in the name of science but first hold my beer

| Hmmmmm. We should look into that possibility. Ha haaaa. This is the only pic I have of the drives at the moment. This is when it was brand new and I hadn't messed with it at all yet. Mike. I liked that Piranha unit. Couldn't get it to work right though. It was taking hits from every direction. It has a normal Tamiya apple now. I still have it and may try it again. _____________________________________________ [b]You may be a king or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later you dance with the reaper! - Death[/b]

| Good eye Ed. Yes. The Canadian Flag is the only reason I took the picture. And yes, I do miss being able to be there for battle days! _____________________________________________ [b]You may be a king or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later you dance with the reaper! - Death[/b]
