Just learned from Ice how to put images in the message to make it easier for you guys to see, trouble is it has for some reason cropped off the right hand side. All feedback welcome.

Fleshy...............................

Thanks Trev & Fleshy,

Believe it or not it looks better in daylight, the camera flash makes it a little yellowy. Personally I don't like the clean looking tanks, just my preference, I like to see a nice dirty, well used beast, it just for me looks more authentic. As for the running, she ran a bit jerky when I first got her so I lubricated the metal gearboxes which made it smoother. To be honest, I am not over struck on the transmitter, there seems to be large dead zones either side of the left/right & back/forward sticks. Does anyones else have this and can it be remedied at all? Doodle

I would need to know more about the problem,do you mean thier is a zone of distance where this problems start? Or is their a slow responce to stick movement? Blake

Hi Blake,

No distance involved, I could be just a few feet away. The travelling distance from the centre position of the joystick to full left/right or forward/reverse, the tank only responds once the joystick position is halfway to its full extent. This makes things very difficult trying to make the tank move off or turn smoothly. On model aircraft you can adjust these dead zones which obviously affect the sensitivity of the movement of the model. Also, the smoker unit packed up after less than a day,which is why I am interested in your fogging unit that you have developed.
