I don't think I've been this excited waiting for something since I was in a queue outside a cinema waiting to see The Empire Strikes Back.

Re: first challly 2 with landed in Singapore
Pity you didn't get on with the Clark. We have around 50 boards operating in our club and don't really have any driving issues. Once you get rid of superspin and set the radio up with a few tweaks to the individual tanks (I use Turnigy 9X which lets me profile 18 individual tanks) no issues.... It is fun to change sounds and add music etc... Of course you can add a bendini to pretty much any board if you want that option...The Tank Man wrote:I gess it depend's on your Budget.dgsselkirk wrote:The Tank Man wrote: The IBU board allready has the sound set ready he made it over 12 months ago!
Tankbear had the sound set in his Leo2 to show us all at the meet sounded ace!!
BFD. Hmmm... let me see $250 CDN for an IBU set up or $105 CDN for Clark... Guess I will wait...
I like the option to change my sounds and fine tune my Tanks running.
I have a clark board in a Tamiyaking tiger i got from one of our members and find it drives terrible to the point were i gave up and pulled the board out!

I think there's pluses for both, in the UK the difference in price between the two is about £25-30 tops but the UK supplier is on the black list and has a very poor reputation which is off putting in its self. Also for some reason in the UK our club and the rc tank regiment have really struggled with the battle system on the Clark boards not working as they should.dgsselkirk wrote:Pity you didn't get on with the Clark.

A bit of Chally action!

Wow, I had no idea the Challenger was such a good looking tank. I think I see another modern tank in my future, but I want to wait till any bugs are discovered and ironed out.
Tank Man, what did you do with the Clark Board? Were you running it with throttle and steering on the same stick?

I see on e-bay that the "I love porcelain flower" seller has the challenger for sale for $205 plus shipping, I figured what the hell and I ordered one! Hopefully the seller is a good seller and not a crook. Figured id let you guys know that he has some for sale

Re: first challly 2 .. landed in Singapore
I got a message from the "I love porcelain flower" seller saying that he has only one challenger, (even though the e bay ad said there was 3 available). He said the tank he has is a new tank but he had removed it from the box to check it out and make sure it works. He asked if I would accept the tank because he removed it from the box. I told him yes that's fine. His feedback on e bay is pretty good, he does have a couple negatives from a while back and a couple of neutrals but there is a great number of positive feedback, especially in the last month so I think he should be ok. I will let everyone know if I end up with a tank or not
I noticed the ad says "pre order" now and the price went up to $255.
