Welcome, Dex353. What a great way to start into RC tanks: to use with a grandson."Upgrade" suggest that you already have two tanks. Tell us more! What tanks? What brand? What do you want to accomplish for an upgrade? Roughly whereabouts in the world are you? E.g. I am in far southern Wisconsin, U.S., so sources are slim here in the U.S. (although getting better).

How do you upgrade grandsons? I’m asking for a friend.

Please don't be discouraged, Dex353. I practiced restraint, not wanting to be the stereotyped professor correcting the mechanics of others' writing, especially since in my aged decrepitude I make plenty myself. Then along comes Meter rat, who cannot resist the humorous possibilities of English. Geepers, what a difference the apostrophe can make.

Nahh you're thinking of Vegans. Tiger tanks are wayyy more important than pretentious masochistic herbivores... :D
