Hi DB, Welcome to the Forum,
Where in the World are you and have you got an R/C Tank or do you have thoughts as to what you would like?
Whatever do make sure your partner is happy about you going into imminent bankrupcy, try to keep your Bank Manager sweet.
Ask lots of questions and remember when it is midnight + and the darn thing just will not seem to work that this is a HOBBY and you are doing this for fun.
Good to have you on board.
