While prowling a weekly giant flea market at 745am in La Belle Province--hunting for Colemans and old fishing lures--I'm surprised to see this poor thang on a table.

Not my first choice for my next RC tank, but I do like bulldogs and it was cheap. Definitely a mongrel--HL body, Taigen electronics (V1 or V2)with sketchy wiring, somebody cropped its exhaust covers, docked a bunch of grab handles and tools, and neutered it with a bunch of screws up the hull. Nothing a bunch of hot glued plastic vines can't cure...But it does have metal tracks and sprockets! Way down the build list, but a good chance it'll end up with a brindle South American paint job of some sorts.

Those tracks are well worn in. A child’s toy in a past life I think

In the course of the extensive rebuild, you will likely want to correct the skyward vision blocks. If so, I could benefit from a painstaking step-by-step "how to" of the sort, Bulldog Vision Block Correction for the Complete Idiot. I know others have done so, but not sufficiently for the Complete Idiot for my chicken heart.
