Well then, really off topic...

Here's one of many reasons why I don't buy many Broomhandles or Lugers these days:



1/10 scale Russian SU-152



1/10 scale Tiger II( King Tiger) and 1/10 scale PzKw I

The Tiger II is fully operational. It weighs 95 pounds.
Three forward speeds + reverse fully selectable by radio.
6,5ccm engine with self starter. May run as long as 1 hour
once fully fueled. steering is accomplished by braking either side of a differential gear; has in line clutch to disengage engine from transmission.

No they don't shoot and I actively discourage it. It is just stupid. Some of the smaller scales ( in which I am also active) use elaborate ir combat systems to simulate damage.

I've been building and collecting 1/10 scale armor for over 30 years. Generally they are made to a much higher standard than some other scale military vehicles; especially the "action figure"( Doll ) scale 1/6. 1/10 sale has been more the 'model
engineering" scale.

This one is intended to be electric powered but I usually power mine with modified glow ignition engines.
