No problems at all, drilled the pilot holes and used a reamer to get the to the correct size holes. I did not drill a third hole in the cab roof but pulled the lugs off the lenses and threaded the bulbs up the holes in the light bar mounts then used a hot melt glue gun to secure everything to the cab roof, and hot melt glued the lenses on the top of the light bar.

it ran well on the beach below the high water mark when the tide had gone out it also ran well on the loose sand above the high water mark but the finer particles of sand played havoc with the brake pads so I had to turn them around and run metal to metal as the sand was clogging up the brakes, I ran in the dunes at the back of the beach and it crawled up them with no problems at all just like running on snow I presume. I sealed the hull pretty well and only the very fine sand got in to the hull. it did not get in to the diff at all. I got moaned at by a surfer because he thought that I was going to run into the sea and spoil his surfing. so I told hi to mind his own business in the usual Anglo-Saxon way I.E. F OFF. I also pointed out that it was not a boat and I preferred dry land to getting wet unlike the sad git he was and asked him when his board was going to grow up and be a proper boat.
the day before I left I found a shop that sold just about every thing crap that people buy on holiday and I found that they sold an rc tank so I asked if they had any in stock and they had so I am now the proud owner of a snow leopard tank.

I set my radio up for negative exponential for the first time today and found the steering to be better. I thought it was a good idea to share with others who own the Blizzard. Posted it here and was deleted. If there's any violation of the forum rule, I'd like to hear about it. Thanks.

ive allways lived around the beach and with years of rc ive come to one conclusion, Sand destroys the hell out of bearings and all drivetrain parts. dont mind walking through it to get out to a good wave, wont run ANY of my rc cars in it, maby one deticated one. other than that, just sands your drivetrain away. bad stuff.

Because before, even w/ the fluid filled diff, it is still pretty ultra sensitive.. the range of "engagement" is small.. so by doing a negative exponential, I basically alter the curve of the steering input vs. servo output.
So now the steering wheel needs to move more in order to move the servo a little when it is near center, and then pick up when the steering input is far from the center.. so you got more range of steps, if you will, near the center, to modulate the steering..
Here's what the curve looks like... as you can see, the x-axis is the input, the y-axis is the servo movement.
