Sure you may call me "prof"; "Ed" works, too. It's a joke. Here in the states, few people--much less "stoonts"--call a professor "Dr." "Hey you" is more common. In Germany the formal title is "Herr Dr. Professor." When I retired, I took on the moniker as a joke.

Thank you for all the advice guys, it is really appreciated. I have made more progress in a few days than in weeks...
I will find a way to keep you updated with progress, apart from some aging etc, i'm pretty much going to let the upgrade happen as it gets broken, its going to happen with a boisterous 9 yr old driving, not to mention the BB's... I get shot, way too often and he is has an uncanny aim.

...nine-year-old? Ha! One of my 75-year-old pals fires his BB Abrams at his college-age granddaughters. Fun!

A word of advise if I may,
I would not use the provided BB pellets because the pellet seam has a tendency to catch the seal in the "Airsoft" mechanism and tear it,
You then have to strip down the Turret and the "Airsoft" gun to gain access to the seal
For not much money you can buy bags of one hundred 6 mm BB pellets c/o E-Bay that are polished and seam free

Thanks, good advice, I learned the hard way a few years ago with a chieftan we had so now I have some decent airsoft bb's

Hello and and a belated welcome to the forum Mr gavlar0
Also the rubbish cheap pellets can get stuck in the barrel.
I use these pellets with good results. They seem good quality at a reasonable price.

Over the years most comments have been about my screws being loose nothing was ever said about the Wheels
