Well, I went to a local outdoors show, and they had tons of RC displays. I saw a bunch of tanks, and asked about the brands. I was told just get the pro Heng Long ones. Looked em up, wow way cheaper than I thought!
I picked up an M41 bulldog, and it's assembled. Did some mods, and it's working nicely.
I'll get over to the builds section and post my mods.

Ahhh PA
I spent a lot of time there at the Schramm Plant in Westchester. Magnificent State Mr 83, some fine offerings and sights to see on that side of the U.S.
Philly, Pittsburg, and several I cant remember the name of!!
A day wandering The Valley Forge was also a highlight on one stint.
Welcome along from the Gold Coast of Australia out of New Zealand

P.A. was my top of the places I found myself in over there.
Had some stuff called "Scrapple"?? (or something like that )
I gave it an honest good go, but man, now way I get through the lot
Sitting in the diner & asking if I could try something that the locals have, and the joker sitting next to me sniggering when I asked what Scrapple was is now a warning given and taken too late !!
Driving around seeing the tails of squashed Squirrels on the road still blowing in the breeze was an odd sight
Was also warned before a road trip to Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland to watch out for Amish in horse & carts.............( youre taking the piss thinks me) .........sure enough, around a bend in a maize(I think) field was a damned black cart, all black horse and folks in all black(no , not my Rugby Team) , with a safety triangle on the back, doing bugger all miles and hour that caused me to swerve onto the correct side(for me) of the road and nearly crash wondering where the T.V. camera was like it was scripted
Fun times they were.
