Torro 1/16 Leopard 2A6 visits The Hobby Centre 

the torro electronics don't last long, but the torro is a much stronger metal tank than the Henglong............. the torro tank is quite slow, it's too heavy for the low power engines.........that torro tank is the same as mine from seven years ago........ no upgrades at all............ your best bet is to make the torro assembly kit but choose the TK7.1 Controller............ and not those puny engines.... 550s instead

LMAO. Are you guys making my tank a RU-vid star?? It was a pleasure to bring it to your shop. The Torro was a gift from a family member. The tank was 597 Euros and shipping was 125 Euros. I don't know what that is in CDN dollars, but it works out to "out of my price range'. Extra batteries, a North American charger and duty fees brought the price to just over 2200 CDN. This is why it was such a beautiful gift from my brother Jim. The only supplier for Torro that I found, is out of Florida. The tank itself was shipped to me directly from Germany. Lol. Total ship weight was just over 45lbs. The Heng Long and Tamiya are more in my price range. Update on my recent purchases from you guys. The 360 degree turret ring is installed on my Heng Long Leopard 2A6. Took me a little under an hour to install. But, I had all my wiring labeled and that made it easier to install. LOL. That WiFi camera? OMG, it's fantastic!!!. I have it installed in the T-90 that I got from you. The T-90 is stripped down, masked ready for an attempt at a digital cammo paint job. I was inspired to make this attempt by a RU-vid vid from Mr. Tank a lots channel. I made inserts for all the vision blocks/periscopes. It was great finding the materials I needed to do this from the large selection of paints and modeling materials at the Hobby Centre. I want to get another camera for the Leopard. Heng Long makes it sooooo easy to expand on any of the models available. The TK 7.0 board even has a designated plug in point, CN 5 for a WiFi camera. The 360 turret ring for the T-72/T-90 series are rare beasts to acquire. Due to the fuel tanks on the rear, the 360 kits for other tanks won't work. The T-72/T-90 360 kits have cams on them. There is a lever switch that is activated by contact with the cam as the turret rotates, raising the gun tube before the fuel tanks and lowering it after passing the fuel tanks. Even rarer to acquire, are the laser 'dazzlers' that actually light up. Hope to get back to the store for more purchases soon. OH! Shout out to the Ontario Regiment Museum.

Way cool, now for the big question, how much ?

Heng Long vs. Torro? Whats the diff?
