Thanks! ;o) I ran the tank so far away along the sidewalk that it was hard to make out with the zoom. It turned around and came right back with no issues. I really love the 2.4 GHz sets. The neighbor lady across the street came out laughing and pointing it out to her son. The rock is a nice piece of gneiss *ducks* that we found on a drive some years back and manhandled home to display. This is one of the first times that I've had so much fun with a tank that I ran the battery low while playing. The track action can only be described as sinuous and the slight rock to starts and stops is smile inspiring.

Nice of you to share with the Neighbors ...and us
....Too bad she doesn't have the new HL 2.4.... you could have turned up the volume and showed off some smoke
Took my Shermans out today for a run... you know... you're right... nothing beats those 2.4 gig rigs
ALPHA
ps, That is one good looking big rock
bigger than the KV
Glad you took a close up
The Palace looks like she's next to a cliff

After looking at your post I’m going to finish off my T34 now, inspiring…

Good Morning, Pale,
I'm now slightly worried about your eyesight *chuckles* You need to step away from the Hot Rod and come back to tanking for a while. ;o) Aye, the 'Palace' is set up with Taigen's working IR and has the Battle Shroom'.

Good Morning, Paul,
Thank you very much, my friend. ;o) I'm glad the Camo turned out as well as it did. The KV-2 is a big tank to be brush painting hard line camo onto. I definitely hear and understand on the better board setups out there. I have the Taigen Tiger 3 in 1 kit and will be building that this winter. It will be powered with a current IBU2 board and be my first entry into Hobby Grade RC. For now, the 2.4 GHz setups are amazing with what they accomplish. ;o)
regards,
Painless

Good Morning, Marko,
I'm glad you liked the work and the finished tank. I can't recommend Taigen and Asiatam\Torro highly enough. Everyone should have a KV-2.

Good Morning, Phil,
It's good to hear from you! Thank you for the compliments! It will be nice to see you soar in from the skies, hop into your tank and work on it again. Soviet armor is Da!

Good Morning, Herman,
The neighbor was having a good time, that's for sure. Big, RC tanks just seem to do that to folks, turn them into kids again. ;o) Here's to tracked apartment blocks, Da!

Good Morning, Alpha,
You need to take your Gigant out for a spin as well. The KV-2 is such a blast to drive and play with. I'm pleased that HL took a step forward and adjusted the TX with that added ablility. The Pershing is coming up on a redo so maybe I will have to try the HL 2.4 GHz set on it instead of the Taigen this time. I already have a spare HL RX-18 and a new smoker set aside so we will see. Yessir, that's 3 or 400 lbs of rock there. I remember that it took two of us to get it into the vehicle and back out at the house.
regards,
Painless
