And exactly why is the AAF the hottest test bed for IR tanking? LOL. All 9 of you regular guys believe that or what? LOL.

Sounds like another one of your glib rectum opinions to me and not based on Panther G build facts &history.

Your not only wrong, but your words are a clear stretch of the Panther G facts and build history.

The kit put Impact Panther G FIXparts on the map right or wrong. LOL.

Facts are facts and a kit built over night speaks for itself and why are you proud of that?

I have built all the WWII kits too, and I would not accept the build level you boast about.

Yikes, good enough is NOT and perhaps that is all we are really talking about.

All the guys who first ran Panther Gs at Danville, way before you did, are the people who first posted online the laundry list of issues and complaints and effectively killed the buzz on Tamiya's new kit 3 years ago.

They also told us all where to go and buy the fix parts and all that seemed pretty smelly 3 years ago. LOL.

Your "rc tank build standards" seem sketchy and "one drive sprocket which was fixed in 30 seconds with some tape to shim it out" is completely unacceptable as a fix solution for any of my builds and MANY WOULD AGREE THAT DOING THAT JUST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH.

PLUS the statement says it all in regards to where you are coming from. Your Tamiya build solutions seem s<span id="main" style="visibility: visible;"><span id="search" style="visibility: visible;">chlocky, cheap, trashy and that doesn't fit the fine craftsmanship level championed in the Tamiya model world. </span></span>

And if your were really such great friends with Daryl Turner, perhaps you would be running more of his parts and his superior rc tank craftemanship would rub off on you; rather than settling for a base basher level build. And those are facts.

Or did you sell of those WWII models to go and build one RIGHT?

Happy New Year.
