Looking good Brizo, you'll have to post a video review of how it handles.

Hi,
Well so far just put the batt in to try her out. All works fine so charging the batt up on the slow charger for 4 hours. I do this to all my new battery's it makes sure all the cells equalise after that use a fast delta peak charger. Will set down a put all the bits and bobs on later. Will put some more photos when that's done :thumbup:. Brian...

Looking good Brian,

Pleased the Nitrotek thing has worked out OK, they have mixed reviews, so tip top they came through for you.

Looking forward to seeing her done.

Brizo,
I'm very anxious to see it completed and a video of the tank in motion. I had one of the Hobby Engine 1/16 versions for years before I passed it along to a friend who needed a Hobby ( Capital 'H' ) I'm stuck with memories of super spin and no suspension and one piece rubber tracks. If it hadn't been for Tankbear, I'd never have kept that tank running. I know that this version is world's above but it will be nice to see all the differences.
regards,
Painless

Hi All,
I've checked the Abrams over and noticed that I have Metal tracks and sprockets. Not checked the idler's yet so they could be metal as well!. So not bad so far for £129.00 :thumbup:. Brian...
