CHEAPO?????????????????????? ...You rich Michael?????????????????

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........

PS. If Sass allows me to take some photos of his MAUS...I'll post them...he did a super job so far..has some "sweet" gearboxes in it ...amongst other things...Dang that thing is Big ...don't know where you guys find the shelf space

Alpha, my KT right now is up to about $800, $900, hell maybe $1000! So yup a $150 H/L tank is cheap!

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.

He just dropped by the other day with it ...but will be away for awhile...so I'll beg him when he gets back .......

PS. Will Dgsselkirk..give yours back?????????????? ..........

Alpha, why do you think it took me from October till now to get it where it is now.

You should go check out my Tiger build as its what I'm working on now.

Parts collecting for my 251 project will begin next Friday.

UHHHHHHHHHHH...Because you're rich...but poor in searching???????????????? .......... Just Kidding Jack.... I know there is a lot of decision making when doing a mod...not to mention the wait time for parts....heck ..it took almost six months to get the connecters I needed for my L70 ...that kind of down time will "wet towel" any project ...Happy Your KT is serving you well now

No worries Jack...been watching from afar

Parts collecting for my 251 project will begin next Friday.

Thought you said you weren't going to build anything .............
Glad you found some Inspiration


Happy Tanking Jack

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! 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.

ROLL EM OUT!!!
