I will have a look at how it is held together. I can't recall any problems. A for the emitter, I used the ones recommended by wibblywobbly in his thread about making your own battle system. It is Tamiya compatible. I don't think it will still work with the WSN system, but have never tried. I also swapped over the IR receivers, though I kept them in the same place.

Edit : I have had a look. There were 6 screws holding it together. 2 are at the front on the angled plate roughly level with the volume control. There are 2 toward the rear roughly level with the end of the battery box. The other 2 are midway between.

Hopefully, you can see the screw holes.

I have had my T34 for some time. It is possible that the current model is different. When I converted mine, I gutted the inside and it is no longer possible to fit the screws, so the top just sits on.

Thanks for your help. Given how cheap emitters and receivers are I'll get a few and try them out.
