Taigen Tiger 1 Hand Painted RC Tank

Product Review (submitted on 17 April 2014):

I took delivery of this tank a couple of days ago (along with a couple of others) and I have not stopped using it and working on it since. I will start by saying I am new to RC Tanks, so this really is a novice first impression.
The finish is in my opinion superb. There are a few little paint spots dropped on it but they do not detract from the model and overall the custom paint job is excellent. The tank is the plastic version so does not have the weight to it that the metal versions have. It has plastic tracks, but mine came with metal gearbox, sprockets and idlers so is ready to be upgraded to metal tracks.
The tank works flawlessly, all the functions are as described. I have not timed it but it runs for a long time with the supplied battery which is the 2000mah NiMh type.
I have done a lot of 1/16 modelling in the past (I have a cabinet full of static figures and dioramas at home), and I am sure that over the coming months I will have hours and hours of fun detailing and upgrading this tank.
I would definitely recommend this product especially at the Jan sale price, and I will be using Nitrotek again in the future. Their customer service to date has been superb.
