Stu, Be very, very careful, Shysters and faulty electrics will be looking to take your money,
I had a quick look on E-Bay and I was amazed at the prices that some of these chancers are after for an item that was cheap and nasty when it was new leave alone the state of it now.
If you are having genuine difficulty getting a decent "SENDER" Transmitter then PM me your address and we can sort something out.
Shaun.

Thanks Shaun its a bit of a mine field field on eBay as I have seen them for around the £20 mark and then when you look further down the page the self and same ones are £40-50 big difference Shaun.

STU, There is a specific way to start your Tank that you might not know,
You have to Turn the Transmitter on first,
and then you turn on the Tank,
The Tank wont work if you do it the other way round and switching off is the reverse,
Tank off then the Transmitter off,
Far to many of us discover the hard way why you should not start your Tank while it is on a shelf or table top,
Start it on the Floor, You wont be sorry.
Do you have a proper battery and do you have a proper Charger ?
Shaun.

Thanks for the start up procedure Shaun I have the original battery and charger but I will only know if its working once I get the transmitter next week. Looking forward to starting her up. I'm on modifying bits at the moment taking mudguards off and upgrading a few of the plastic parts to metal parts.
