Just *how* tough are HL tanks?

[Streaky]

Thanks everyone for the kind and helpful advice. All points duly taken and I've already slung that cheap (and noisy) bundled charger and dug out the smart charger.

I used the excuse of adding the decals and detail accessories to fire it and and all seem well but I'm going to have to give that commander figure the once over before the big day. That bloody smoke unit is noisy isn't it!

I don't know who's more excited.

Thanks again!

Now you have to get yourself one so he'll have someone to battle against.

Glad you got a safe charger. Smoker smells bad too. I removed mine.
