Looks pretty good. Will it support airsoft? Or, only IR? Where are the on/off and volume controls? What electronics does it come with, if any?

Both of Airsoft and IR are available. We will offer two different versions. The on/off and volume controls are inside the tank. The RTR tank will come with Clark board installed. You will also receive the hobby level Mato 6 channels transmitter. And a very nice carry box.

Thanks,

Rona

I'm guessing the "add" for RTR is to the painted version making the RTR $700, correct?

Very impressive. Congratulations on the deal with Clark. This makes it a truly RTR for battling. O.K. where is my M-10....:-)

This looks great, but I'm holding out for the M-36B1. How long before that's available, and will it be the same price as the sherman? $700 with paint and clark system?

I tend to agree and will wait until the 36 comes out, however, at $700 you are now at the Tamiya price range and I have a hard time not defaulting to that route. I will definitely buy a complete lower for my Jumbo though.

Yes but this looks like a well done tank, RTR with a good sound and control system, I would expect to pay Tamiya type prices for what this is delivering.

Are the adjustable idlers sold separately? Very similar to some I have been working on.

Just have to hope for tamiya performance/dependability. Hope they took their solder people to a night class at the annex!
