Yes I agree, the reliability, quality and lifetime guarantee are what makes Tamiya who they are. I have built plenty of them, just not their tanks. My deuce I am building is on a Tamiya. And I do plan on buying a tamiya Pershing. On this build I want to keep costs down, so I can have money left over to put towards the Pershing. I appreciate the input, when one finds a great product, they will recommend it. Dan thank you for the heads up on the revamped DBC3, I like how you are going with the pin connectors.

Cheers
Wade
