Ok thought it was just mine. I sold it cause they kept poping off, got on my nerves. If they can't run I don't want it.

Anyone know how easy to switch to 2.4 GHz radio, and availability of spares?

Rob, the way the radio is setup in thus truck is strange not sure what 2.4 radio would work properly in it.

If memory serves correct Clark makes a board for this truck that is supposed to be pretty decent. But this is 2nd hand information I've never done anything like that to this truck. I sold mine due to terrible radio range and it kept throwing it's tracks.

I think elmod made a board for this which kept all the gun functions but it was pricey and not sure if it's still available...spares are non existent, you used to see the odd one being broken on eBay, but I can't recall seeing any for a long time. I ripped all the electrics out of mine and set it up like a car with a esc and sound card...

I've always prefered to see any AFV in batle ready condition with stowage as it ads to the realism; great looking M3 frank :thumbup:

Good afternoon, Frank,
I'm about to pick up one of these and will be doing an eventual detail job on it. Any sources you have for spare stowage gear would be appreciated.
regards,
Painless
