CHEAPO?????????????????????? :wtf: ...You rich Michael????????????????? :haha: :haha: :haha:

ALPHA, compared to the $500+ per tank that we spent on them, an out of the box $200 is a cheapo......... :-)

When our club goto tank shows, we feel bad not letting kids play with out $500+ tanks so we usually try to make sure that there is some stock plastic version lying around from members and let them go at it instead........

Also, the Heng Long/Taigen radio is also much simpler and less ways to mess up.

ALPHA, my Maus just got a make over from dgsselkirk so I will post some pictures as well just so everyone can take a quick look at his great work.

SCORE! Local hobby shop is getting rid of all the Tamiya "science" type kits and I picked up a single motor gearbox and duel motor gearbox for $10 for BOTH! :haha: I figure I'd get both to see what fits the best.

Need a set of plastic Panzer 1,2 or 3 tracks for my build if anyone has a set they don't want, that's broken but salvageable to make shorter tracks for my 251 or has a lead on a new set of plastic ones please let me know. I'm thinking these over the Famo ones simply for the cost factor and should I need to use the single motor gearbox the plastic tracks will keep the weight down so the truck will still be able to turn.
