new to 1/16 r/c

finally dipped my toe in and purchased a wsn t34/85.
i have been making models for at least 35 years and set up a radio control model shop in cornwall uk about 12 years ago. i have since sold the shop and gradually over the last few years my interest in modelling has returned.
i have always fancied but never owned a 1/16 r/c tank but now i have the opportunity.
i plan to repaint the t34 and modify as parts allow for a major long term ongoing project. any advice on upgrades welcome.happy days ;D

Good Afternoon,
Welcome to RC Tanking, Rob. Nothing like it in the modeling world for sheer fun. Welcome to the Forum as well. A nicer and more knowledgeable bunch of guys would be very hard to find. I have it on good word that they like pictures so please when you get the chance, show off your new T-34. ;o)
regards,
Painless Wolf

GOOD LUCK.. enjoy the adventure :thumbup:

unfortunately its the wsn but at a price i couldn't refuse so i guess there's plenty to be done. had a good look on here and there seems to be little info on the wsn ( unless i missed it ) and what i have seen seems to say the electrics could be a little better ;)
