Good afternoon! I'm working on driving better with a two stick TX. The M36B1s extreme weight carries it through scrub that might snag a lighter vehicle. I checked it over carefully after that extended run and everything was where it was supposed to be. Go 3M !! From that spot with the sage down to the NE most fence corner is where the Tank Run is going to be. One of my projects this summer is fence it off and start carving out and building up topography. Thanks for watching!

Good Evening, Painless. Lately, I've found myself glued to the Tour de France..it's like a virtual trip around the Alps, Pyrenees, and other beauty spots (Chateaux, Fortresses, historic towns etc.,) in France. The viewers ride along with the 'lads in lycra' courtesy of Motorcycle mounted cameras, Helicopter- cameras and more. It's utterly immersive. In time, maybe we will go on a virtual 'Tour De Painless' Tank Park', when you invest in a turret mounted camera. That'll be a day worth waiting for! :D :thumbup:

Good evening all. I got a neat thing in today which I had been waiting for to upgrade the M36s performance. The neatness is a 10 channel RX made to work with that Flysky radio that I got from MaxMekker to run the late Tiger 1 that I got from Jackalope. It works great with Clark boards and both the Tiger and the M36 use Clark TK-24s. To make a long story short, I sat aside the old six channel RX and the equally old Flysky i-4 type TX that MATO uses with these metal tanks and dropped in the just bound 10 channel. I had saved the M36 to the Flysky as Model 2 and after I charged the battery and hooked everything back up, I did a short video showing off the new ease of functionality ( and it was too!...so much easier than the TX that came with the tank from MATO ). Anyway, here is the video link and a couple of pics: ( click to enlarge )

New 10 channel RX ensures that I can use my new Flysky TX to run this one now.

Carl!
I could not agree more, my friend. ;o) It made a world of difference being able to easily assign operations and then quickly find them ( and have them work right off the bat )

This radio is great fun for sure. Only 4 batteries, plenty of options and editing ability. Its fun to play with that. Have to get me a phone mount as well. Thanks for sharing.
