you can fit a RX18 unit in it, rip out the old, the only thing you will have to play with, is the wiring in the turret swop about a bit to get it to work on the rx18 can be done if you get stuck you can pass it on to me it is my first yearly birthday next month ...I have 3 ....

hi if you do go rx18 be sure to take the capacitors off the gearbox motors as it will blow the rx18 :thumbdown:

I have had a 5 min go by putting a Taigen V3 set in and it ran fine . But I've not worked out the wiring on the turret side so haven't tried that yet.

Obviously at some stage the gearboxes and plastic wheels and track will be replaced.
