Hi Pah co chu puk
I think the general operative is that you pay for convenience, but every so often you strike one where that is just too inconvenient.
Possibly would have pressed ahead with the German home office, but with wire transfer, the banks here make too much commission, esp on top of the shipping. If they had Paypal.... different story.

Re the loadbed width, I used Plastruct I beams bolted to the sides, with a further I beam spacer to increase the width. Now my bulldog only overlaps by millimetres, instead of centimeters. I'm also looking at adding rubber grip mat to the bed & ramps, to allow the tanks to crawl on easily, without it they tend to slide all over the show.

Yes, I'd like to RC it too, even picked up a cheap RC jeep to use as the basis, but that's several projects down the road.
