Status: offline 		Hey Bigmig
I won't get this until Christmas but here is some info about it.
Features include: Forward and backward movement, forward ability with left and right movement, backward ability with left and right movement, turret turning capability, main cannon has missle shooting ability with sound and recoil motion, machine gun sound effects, realistic suspension system, tank is powered by 12 volt rechargeable battery. Cannon can be manually moved up and down. It only shoots a missle about 5 feet. 42 inches long a lot of room inside to do things. I new to RC but I know some brainiacs can help. Thanks Ron

Status: offline 		I think at this point I would like to make modifications to this big one. I have a 1/12 tank coming also so I can check out how it works but not until Christmas. Just in the planning stage. I think I will still need another channel or two. Does that mean another radio? Can you add channels to a radio? I don't know enough. I'll get that Squirrel! Thanks Ron
