Please note that you will need a Battle System (inforared) if you plan to use your tank for battles.  This can be added at any time.  Karen at AAF may have told you about it if you called in your order.  You do not need the system to run the tank.  I had just assumed that the battle system came as part of the package with my first Tamiya full option tank.  Have fun.  jot

The 4YF 2.4 GHz you can get the self centering kit from Karen at AAF .
The Spektrum DX5e they wont do the self centering you have to do it your self with some screws and springs to remove the ratchet on one stick .
