Hi
Just a quick post to say hello. found my way into tanks after buying a HL Tiger 1 for my son. We spent some time just driving it and then decided to do some work on it. We have now re painted teh tank put a steel axel in for the idlers and made up a set of gearboxes. In adition we decided to replace the stock non S&S electrics with an RX18 set up. This was going great until we ordered some parts from a w*nker off Ebay. Two weeks and no bits or reply emails from him. Oh well will have to order from Forgebear on this site, atleast I now he delivers and is a fair guy.
On that point id recomend staying away from ordering from tankworkshop on Ebay. He wont reply to emails and dosnt seem to honour his Ebay contracts.


Cheers and thanks for a great forum

Hello sparks,
Yes road tax and a registration number. Its a real treat driving on the road and watching the other road users looks of confusion.
