It would be very tempting to buy the kit, however I've promised my wife to be happy with the two rc tanks that I've already got, and in a way I agree with her.

It's the same thing as if I would own several cars. Two cars can be some what practical - one car to and from work and one car for spare time use only. However, three or more cars...I just don't see the point.

Anyway, a very nice build you've done!

Cheers, Jens

Thats really good work Chris. :D I can't wait to get one of these kits. Do you know how much they'll be with the barrel and possibly the suspension?

I was thinking, maybe you could use the suspension from a Pershing, it would look more prototypical?

Cheers,
Rik

thank you.
this is at the moment not so easy to say. with barrel and suspension it would coast 40,- to 50,- euro more :-(.

i have tried alot of suspensions but nothing works good enough, it will be the next big stepp for my work.
the schwinging arms will be made of 5,5mm Aluminium.

Hello Christian, excellent work as always. I'm sure if you build and market this kit it will be a very popular Tank. Cheers Blake
