Yeah, I will most likely add the barrel stabilizer / gyro thing.. (I figured it is probably some kind of gyro in that setup)..
Thanks for the tips! I didn't even realize we have a tank forum!!

This is a pretty sweet purchase. This is one build thread I'll be watching to see how it progresses. Good stuff, LB!

Ha, thanks! Yeah, it should be pretty interesting... I need your tiger painting skill now...

(something like that)
I did a google images for tiger stripes, printed, and traced sections of that (mixed w/freehand) to get that. You could do something similar! Although for camo, I have no idea what "real" paint skills are needed (airbrush, etc) - the only skill I needed was in the prep work. My painting "skillz" still kinda stink.

Nice.. didn't realize that.. I guess I was looking at the 4EXA because it has 4-model memory....
So that's good for 2 tanks, a F-350, and a semi..
Hee hee...

You need to adjust the chain...
And yes, I have seen people put BL in the Blizzard EV.. it is awesome...
ORIGINAL: coleholley
Man I want to try that. Hmmm I have 2 blizzards so I should but can the blizzard handle it? Cus the chains and tracks fall off with a normal motor. LOL

Alright I'll figure it out and never know might put one in it but what one would you recommend for it?
And isn't brushless supposed to keep dry or just mamba's?
P.S. The price on the tank is crazy. It made me not even think of wanting one. LOL

LOL, yeah, and it is just the kit.. you still need the radio..
And I also got the hop-up aluminum barrel for it.. and will be looking for the gun barrel stabilizer unit as well.. (it is a gyro that keeps the gun pointing at the right elevation even when the tank is going up and down.. crazy, huh?! Just like a real tank..!!)
They add up, that's for sure!!

I've been messing around with Blade CX2 right now but if I were to buy anything it would probably be a mini-lst2 or maybe a brushless for my blizzard now that you mentioned it but do you know which brushless system would be good for it? Cus I know there's one that I've never heard of that would be good for it.
