Re: 1/16 tanks
Yeah unfortunately the support stuff seems to be niche enough that it is pretty expensive. I can't justify $500 + on a support vehicle. I'll stick with the tanks unless someone like Hen Long get into less expensive support stuff.
Very cool looking though, for sure.

Re: 1/16 tanks
If I had the casting skills Id buy one and dissect it and make all the molds and sell the non RC model kits on eBay for half the price.
Re: 1/16 tanks
Last year, someone posted on SSHQ that Matorro King Tigers have disappeared from ebay.
So my questions are:
1. Why are Matorro King Tigers very rare on ebay?
2. Has the value of the Matorro King Tigers increased since 2009-2010?

Re: 1/16 tanks
the matorro KT will be back. Same thing happened with their sturmtiger. It vanished for over a year and now they are abundant. The KT will probably be back by year's end.
Yes the matorro KT's have gone up a fair bit in price, just like out of production xd does.

Re: 1/16 tanks
According to MATO as of yesterday..."the KT is not currently in production ", and , " I will keep you updated if it is available again'. That statement was passed to me by Warwick at Awesome Hobbies.

Re: 1/16 tanks
From my post of a couple of months ago, that's the same answer I received when I contacted Mato. No comment from them though as to when it would enter production again or why they stopped in the first place.tankduel wrote:According to MATO as of yesterday..."the KT is not currently in production ", and , " I will keep you updated if it is available again'.

Thanks for the info. I bought a Matorro King Tiger on ebay some time ago. It's good to see it may have increased in value.

Re: 1/16 tanks
I'm interested in what youse guys think of the Hen Long KV-1?
I also found a German made conversion kit to change the KV-1 turret to a KV-2, which looks even better.
So? Thoughts?

Re: 1/16 tanks
I'm mulling over a 2nd RC Tank purchase right now...
Stg3
Jagdpanther
Tiger-I (Prolly with metal tracks and gear)
Panther
KV-1
I'm loving the Stg, but Tiger-I is appealing too... They all ultimately are but I'd say Panther is probably my lowest one on the list.
What's everyone's thoughts or suggestions? I'm open to ideas. Wish I could nab one a month but right now money's too tight for such a move. I'd love to be "caught up" on tanks though that are out, and jsut looking at the more expensive stuff or waiting for affordable Shermans... Hell, affordable WW2 1:16 tanks in general would be nice.

Re: 1/16 tanks
I only have four -
M-26
Jagpanther
King Tiger
and the KV-1 (got tired of waiting for an opinion)
I'm generally happy with them, my Grandcrumsnatcher ran the daylights out of the KV-1 last Sunday and generally scared me, with a house full of people and two Jack Russell terriers, who seemed to think the KV-1 was some kind of small animal, I was sure the KV-1 was gonna get smashed or bitten. I had just received it and had charged it up. My Grandson usually heads for my 1/6 Stuarts to see what is charged up. He approves of the KV-1 and is finally old enough (5) to understand what you mean by saying "No crashing into walls or furniture"

Re: 1/16 tanks
KV1 and Jagdpanther are in the running for me, but KT is out due to price... I'm trying to keep it from the $150 range on down. If I'd had a KV1 I'd have shared my opinion by the way. It looks badass though.
The Tiger-I with metal upgrades looks outstanding though. I don't have any metal upgraded armor, but I have heard it can wear motors down or whatever.
I thought a KV1 would be neat because it's so different, but I've honestly not got a lot of familiarity with it compared to other armor pieces. I'm just not sure where to go.

Re: 1/16 tanks
If you don't have a Tiger yet, there is a seller (shoprshop) on ebay right now who has Tigers for $63 with $12 for shipping. Best price I have seen for a new one. You can usually get a Panther, KV-1, Jagdpanther, or Stug for around $100 with free shipping from a seller called mideatoys. You have to search thru his items, but they are there. Of course, these prices don't include any kind of metal upgrades such as tracks. $150 is on the very low end for a piece with metal upgrades.

Re: 1/16 tanks
Can't go wrong on the KV-1. Just a note however, make sure you check
the on off switches on the HL tanks. Soldering quality is (was?) a bit sloppy and
could short the rc battery.

Re: 1/16 tanks
The heinlong Jagdpanther is not correct in the front, the lower glacial plate is at the wrong angle, (to steep) and I say the suspension is to stiff and raises the vehicle unrealistically high, if you dont mind that it is pretty cool. I dont have a KV-1 but from what I have seen they are awsome, the 1/16 RC tanks I have are:
king tiger (moto)
sturmtiger (moto)
Jagdpanther (Hein)
Mk III (Hein)
III Stug (Hein)
Tiger 1 (Hein)
Panther (Hein)
Of all them I like the MK III and the Stug III the best, they did a great job on the chassis.

Re: 1/16 tanks
Which company is Hein? Pics you can share? I'm not familiar with those...
I'm leaning now mostly on KV1 or Metal Upgrade Tiger-I.

Re: 1/16 tanks
I'm sure he meant Heng Long, and the other is Matoro. Mato has their M4.
Which I thought was really nice.
Was there a rumor that Heng Long was going to release a Sherman?

Re: 1/16 tanks
Yeah I know I'd read that too... I'd LOVE a Sherman, but not at the prices right now. It's got a lot of potential variation too of course. That'd be one I'd probably buy a couple of for sure.
Mato's looks really nice though, it's a favorite of mine, I just am not sure on the price with it... Doesn't seem like many are available on Ebay either, if any.
