No, but I did at your advice and the noise was there. I run my volume so that the sounds are just audible.

Thats awesome man glad I could help!

No doubt, it's a great runner, very smooth and the 360 degree turret is nice too.

I've had a twiddle with my T34 but it hasn't made any difference. The start up and idle noise is loud and clear but as soon as it goes anything above a crawl there is no sound. I will e mail the vendor again and see what they say.

Here is the email for Erik at Taigen tanks. He is good at getting back to me when I've had questions. I will also give him a call on Monday and ask for you. Better to get the info direct from Taigen IMO.

Alpha has mentioned it before but I can't remember where nor do I remember the procedure, you may want to shoot him a PM.
