As an RC aircraft pilot, this is my first RC tank. I purchased the Upgrade Edition instead of the Proessional version to see how I liked driving a tank with the knowledge that it could be upgraded in the future. This was also my first purchase from Motion RC. I absolutely love the tank and I could not be happier with its detail, finish, and performance. It looks amazing out of the box and handles grass, dirt, gravel, pine needles, and medium grades well even with the plastic treads. Motion RC's service and delivery was also wonderful as are their videos and communications. My only dissappointments were that Heng Long is apparently no longer including the road wheel hubcaps and the decal sheet should include three instead of two "S33" stickers in order to be more historically accurate for this model.

Actually happy to spend the extra $$ for the Mato upgrade set of tracks/sprockets/idlers for this one! Looks better than the silver HL tracks and is really well constructed. Tracks fit outof the box with no problem using metal sprockets and idlers supplied. A great model of the 'Good Luck' Tiger from Kursk!

Excellent model for any one interested in the Tiger I family of tanks. Camo was well done in multiple tones and accessories adhered flawlessly. Plastic tracks are not so good but adequate for the price point. Have the metal upgrade set from Mato coming from CN and will replace the plastic but likely leave the roadwheels. We'll see how it wears on them. Very happy with this one and the price is still great.

I love the tank,battle of kursk edition. Arrived in perfect condition and it was packaged well. I bought this tank mainly to paint and weather to make it look aged. And im having fun doing that.im going to display it and not play with it at all. I want to buy a metal one to play with. The tank looks great right out of the box. I like it a lot and im glad i got this one.
