Welcome to the forum stuballs
Where are you from ??
Good question, what tank to get, depends on how much you want to spend.
Heng long are made in china and ready to run, starting price approx $150 - $200
Comes with either plastic tracks or the higher price one wth metal tracks and gearboxes. There are various models ranging from Panzer 3 to the king tiger and some allied tanks. Some come with IR battle system others only come with BB firing system
(Which is illegal In Australia) usually these tanks will require a bit of maintenance
There are heaps of upgrade parts available for these tanks again ranging from cheap to expensive
Top end tanks are from Tamiyia which start from approx $700 and upwards depending which tank you want, these are not ready to run, need the put together as a kit
Again heaps of upgrades depending on how much you want to spend.
You will have to a bit of research first, couple of sites that sell tanks are (Oz sites)

Hope this helps
Just ask if you need more info
Cheers
