...Hi from another Newbie

[SweeneyM41]

...Hi to all, another newbie here, an r/c veteran based in nottinghamshire, running an infamous HL M41 (1st Model Tank) well in touch with the 'entry level' nature of these ready to run machines and will be upgrading most parts as they become available as and when they need it and according to type of use as time progress's.
So far quite impressed with what you get for the money despite a few bits being under engineered but we cant have our cake in both hands I guess. Its the white boxed semi-pro with nylon gears & tracks but fitted with the smoker, sound and RX18 27mhz reciever.

Upgrades so far are 4300mah battery & metal track & sproket set, gearboxes will be next

Looking foward to meeting you all and enjoying the hobby
