Generalpete to tiger 1.....I flew over to KL in the weekend and bought my 1st RC Tank- chose Tiger Tank. Bought it at BTS 7th Floor. A few other shops at diff floors are also selling and the price ranges from Rm350 to Rm399. Some sellors are just mere34 "sick jokers!!' trying trying to rip you off. So be extra cautious. This particular shop at 8th Floor is a keen, friendly and serious sellor- amazing he speaks Hakka like me! Overall I spent over RM600 there. Besides buying the Tiger tank, I bought the metal gear, tracks and etc...Now I just can't wait for the weekend to unpack and test the tank.
I just got back last nite(MON nite).
Once I get this tank going, I will start a RC Tank Club here-strictly for adults!! Uni students acceptable.
I hope you and anyone can give me tips and share your skills in playing, upgrading or repairing tanks. From Newie to novice.
Thanks for all your very interesting whole hearted sharing...

I'm not so sure where you could obtain one in Sabah/Sarawak, but I did saw some post in fb group that there are gathering in Brunei for RC tanks
As for metal tracks and gears, from what I read, it is advisable to at least obtain the full metal thingy for it, which mean you'll need metal tracks, gears, wheels, suspension just so the rest can cope with that extra weight.
If you're going for Tiger, find the one from the latest release, which utilizing the latest RX18 board, less faulty exterior and whatnot. The price should be around RM200-RM300, at least here in Kuala Lumpur.
