Hi John, thank you so much for making this easy for me. That worked a treat and it was all in English. I am very apprehensive about buying from abroad especially something of this value but it seems that I have the same eBay and PayPal protection as in the UK. It just seems too good to be true when this kit is advertised at over £1,000 on many sites.
Thanks again.
Kindest regards,
Pebs

Thank you Jake, I wasn't aware that Germany was such good value for these kits.
Much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Pebs.

Thank you. Does full option kit mean that it can be used for IR Battles?

Kind regards,

Yes, although you'd need to spend around £90 to get the tamiya battle system.

Others are available.

Hey Tom..based on the review you did, the Mato all metal M36 looks good! Question about the wheels..can they be removed to add bushings...and or would a teflon spray in there work..or grease?

Is my post invisible? :think:

If you want to get a MATO M36 I wish you better luck then I had.

Yes you can remove the wheels but to put bearings in you'd have to drill the center out to fit your bearings. However the wheels are 2 piece with the rubber tire so you will need 2 bearings for each road wheel. I guess you could spray Teflon in there but would that collect dirt?

Hey Jackalope! No I just figured you got a lemon as most of the reviews of the M36B1 have been good :) I think putting all those bearings in may be overkill. The great thing about the dry teflon spray is is really is dry and collects nothing just a dry coat of teflon. Good for gears you don't want spraying grease etc.
