Checked that it all mostly works - the turret is a bit clutch dependent and there were a couple of bits snapped off during shipping. Overall I'm a happy camper as I didn't realise it came with metal idlers, sprockets and tracks - the gearbox is zinc rather than steel though (can anyone confirm please)?
Nice! Always good to see not another Tiger
It also came with an IBU3, will plug that in later if I can find a cable that fits, so I can configure it first!

Slightly larger than expected!
One gearbox does seem to have a bent shaft, they're noisy and flex a lot too.
In an ideal world I'd get a DKLM replacement, but that's for the future...
Should be able to knock up some aluminium angle to stiffen the lower hull first.

However, from what I've read - many people have had great succes using aluminium strips/angled edge - good luck 
Good point, well made.tankme wrote:Easy way to tell what your gears are made out of...if a magnet sticks to the gears they are steel. If it doesn't they are zinc.
