Hallo my friend, welcome to the forum, Obviously we do not know where you bouht your Tank or its upgrades but if you have not already done so I would suggest you scroll down to the recommended vendors site, you will get a good deal with useful advise should you need it, after that perhaps a view of the blacklist, so that you know your enemy, and finally any questions you have, well if you ASK we will show off how clever we all are. shaun
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Welcome to the forum. Just a quick note on full turret rotation, you can simply knock out the stopping single tooth on the gear and get full turret rotation, but you will have to deal with tangling wires potentially. However, if you just want 360 it is really quick and easy.

Ooops..... Misread you first note. 2.4Ghz so no antenna....... Another option is to mount the antenna inside but obviously 2.4 is the way to go anyway........ :-)
