I like the M113 and I always thought that somebody would finally get wise and come out with a motorized one RTR. I even suggested it to Eric at Mato some years ago since if anybody could float the idea to those who might actually make one someday, I figured it would be someone like him but of course, nothing out there still. You'd think the M113 would be a natural for an RTR tank, since Ludwig actually makes the BMP, and motorize it then that one ought to be next...

MICK!!! I just had my morning wake up Coke Zero come foaming and bubbling out of my nostrils! It burns and stings, but I'm awake NOW!
Okay, I just changed my shirt. I'll admit I was thinking the same thing but wasn't going to go down that path! I guess I shouldn't have been surprised knowing a bit about your character now!
Once again, you've been naughty, very, very naughty!
Cheers,
Eric.
