Status: offline 		The kit and the MFU will be shipped out next week from Hong Kong.. should be an interesting build..

The bearing kit has arrived, will pick it up from the post office tomorrow.. hopefully they are the correct bearings for the semi kit!! (unlike what happened to me for the tank..)

I don't know why I am doing this consider the tank is not even close to finished....
