ive been in the rc tank hobby for, lets see, 2 weeks now. it started for me when i bought a ultimate soldier m5 stuart tank off of craigslist broken for 50 bucks. after fixing it with some jb quick set putty and driving it the first time i was instantly hooked. the following day after driving the m5 stuart i started looking online at some different rc tanks. fate has it that rc universe had the best forums to read on rc tanks, and you guys helped me to choose my second tank. not only did you help me pick a great tank to start out with, but you showed me that phil from rc tankwars.com was the right guy to go to. i havent gotten it from him yet but just from speaking with him i can already tell i made the right choice, thanks again fellas, i appreciate it
