He's the one that makes the turrets for M4s, right?

Although it has VVSS instead of the HVSS. I can say that it's a very good piece of kit. We have the IBU2U in it, but I personally think the smaller Clark would be more suited to the limited space :thumbup:

One point, I was disappointed that it didn't have opening front hatches for the money.

Ashman you are in the USA, Nick is a great guy but you would require some skills to convert the turret to rc.

Dklm do a hvss and turret conversion for the Heng Long Sherman. A cheaper way to achieve an Easy8.

Personally, if money isn't a problem, I would buy a Tamiya Sherman for the running gear if you want HVSS, I have the DKLM suspension kit, and I'm not that impressed by it, it's ok, but needs some work to get it working and looking right. The Tamiya one is much better.

A turret from nick will set you back 100 or so bucks.
