Where to buy 1/16 RC tanks?

[Tiger1]

Hi all

I am new here and want to rekindle my hoppy of RC and modelling after many years.

I would like to know where to get the RC 1/16 HL or Matoro tanks in Singapore? I thought of shipping from overseas (usa or ebay) but would like to check locally first... Price is the only concern

When i kena toto, will get the dream Tamiya 1/16 or even import the 1/5 or 1/6 from UK! WOW! but cost >6k british pounds excl. shipping and tax.

u can found HL tank at IMM but no sure which floor.

You dun need to win toto to get a tamiya 1/16, just need to save a lot Anyway you can find HL tanks at harbour front 1st floor or IMM 2nd floor near the kids store.

Ha... will try to save... but total cost of puttin a tamiya up will cost me a bomb - spray gun, paints, option kits, etc...

How much will a HL tank cost here? i stay at tampines & wont want to waste a trip to HF to find that it cost >$200! Budget about $150.

Hl tanks retail for $199 everywhere in sg, so if you can get them cheaper, the better. Maybe you shld chk if Mustafas sells them as they normally have cheaper fo everything.

Ya. I do agree. Those vs n mato hav quality in their product. As i do own a vstank. The detailing r nice. For hl, their quality, er... For me, they look like plastic toy. Haha.. But, if u know how 2 do paint work on ur tank. That will make ur tank look perfect. Hl tank got 1 good thing is can install "dbu". Mean u can bring ur tank to battle wif tamiya tank. Tis is for those who have budget control, n in the same time 1 2 do battle wif friends who hav tamiya tank.
