:haha: :haha: :haha: I know it was kind of a silly question...but some guys just tear into the tank before running it lol... but that Taigen doesn't really look like it needs much....that company is already pretty generous with metal fittings and bits ...never knew they did Zim on their tanks.... she looks great!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy :thumbup:

Ah I see lol I didn't realise people just start to rebuild there new tanks from new hahaha. I will have a play with this one maybe take it to a few places to try and get some nice pics.

The taigen does look rather cool straight out of the box as you can see although It didn't come with as much metal on as I would of like but the price reflected that so This This is why I ordered the metal road wheels,idlers,sprockets and tracks. I will prob order the metal jack,headlight and hatches but These will go on before I start to change the colour a bit..I might once im happy with it opt for the tbs mini sound module as the sound could be improved but it will do for now...

again thanks guys

OH yeah lol.. there are a lot of guys who open the box and just tear into the tank without running it first :O I always run mine... mostly to find if there are any problems... then if it passes...run it again...to find weaknesses ... correct those... and run it again ...detailing always comes last...and even after that I run it and run it hard just to see if anything falls off :haha: ..Have to admit...it's one of the fun things to do with at tank :D

Most definitely...... every tank has it's own personality ...you have to find out how it runs...not to mention break her in a little ...it's almost like the courtship ritual when dating :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:
