Your not wrong Iain, but if i had'nt got the proper tracks for it, it would'nt look half as good :D i managed to mate a set of Tiger shafts onto the original Hobby Engine shafts, so i still have the original boxes, for the electrics, it has none right now :S the Hobby Engine electrics are crap, so for now it will remain static :crazy:
