Wsn are cheap battlers ( see link) the two stick driving is a bit strange so its getting heng long electrics ( that's a scary thought doing the electrical work) proberbly getting Taigen gearboxes if there's room.

The gun elevation is terrible though...the machine gun fires when you raise and lower the main gun :| ...gearboxes might be hard to retro fit...thing that's good is ...if you can...at least there are drivers for the gearbox.... Way back when...when there was only the WSN to be had...you had to do some major work to get the drive wheels on :|

We all know there faults it is what it is and I'm happy with it. I'm not putting a Taigen hull on it unless I get one very cheap this is a budget build so I'll work with what I've got. Besides it runs lovely :D
A bit of detailing some paint and some heng long electrics if I can pick up some cheap enough and that's about it!
