Many thanks for your thoughts.

Dirtybird, I hear what you are saying about the all metal chassis and i will try not to be a junkie and will try not to buy one... I cannot promise though! Metal is my weakness!

Hondobob, thanks for the links. Your PZIII was one of the ones I admired and was one of the ones that tipped me over into giving HL a go. Thanks for the info re the turret ring.

Quick question regarding the use of 2.4gz with Tamiya electrics. I read somewhere (I think it was relevant to then electrics you can buy for Tamiya trucks) that digital radios did not work well with them. Is this true as far as you know? Are all 2.4's digital nowadays? I probably won't bother because my 5 year old Futaba which I bought for the KT works perfectly, but just curious.

Also, if I do go Tamiya electrics, does anybody know if they will even fit?

Thanks
