These really do make great tanks with the right combination of modifications and upgrade parts. Mine too will someday get the full el-mod electronics but not in this stage of the economy. i dont know if i have work from one day too the next. Was supposed to be starting 6 day weeks here and now no work for 2 days, so it's really hard to budget anything at the moment. I think this will be this years Tax refund allocation. i usually buy the next tank i want with my allowance but There really isn't anything new i want so i'll get my Beloved Abrams up to Hobby grade level.
