Ok guys good evening. Update today. My KT arrived today. So far so good. Everything came in one piece. The box had a good hit thanks to UPS :/ but luckly there was extra padding. (Thank you Erik). I'm sure the padding saved it, some stuff was knocked off but I put everything back on. Started her up and everything function correctly, I think the tracks have a bit too much slack because the tracks seem to bunch up around the drive wheel sometimes, Erick added the toro tracks and did mention that he was gonna add some links for the slack, so I'll see how that goes I may just remove one link on each side. The board and power cable were included as well. So next step is to install that and hopfully that will fix my Panther problem. Things are looking up. Thank you guys and thank you Erik. I plan to make a video when this all set and done to highlight the products and all that. :thumbup:

My Thoughts: I started out with Henglong and went mad and had about 15 Henlongs which was a mistake then I went the opposite way and bought a Tamiya but as I won't be battling I found the Tamiya didn't move over rough terrain like I real tank and also I have bloody great hands and I really struggled building with tiny bits, so I went to Torro which are mostly metal and run really well, So not including hours of painting once I've bought a Torro tank £350-£450 they usually have upgraded gearbox,s I then remove the standard 2.4 board and radio and sell it minus £45 then fit a new FlySky i6 radio £30 and Elmod Fusion Pro £200 your at about £650 at the finish.
Then you have a strong metal tank with upgraded parts already fitted a good radio and brill board for sometimes less than a Tamiya. some people may not agree this is just my opinion .

Kind regards Andy

well its finally complete. King Tiger and Panther are up and both running perfectly. KT had no problems and the Panther problem was fixed by replacing the mother board. A quick swqap of the board and a quick binding of the remote and I was done. 5 min and I was done. Cannon fire and and flash work :thumbup: now its time for fun! Ill be posting a video on you tube in a few weeks. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thanks again everyone and Erik from Imex. now let the fun begin
