Welcome spooky one. All I can tell you is that my Torro King Tiger has given me two years of trouble free operation. About a year ago I purchased and installed an IBU2 and a Futaba radio system in the tank. It has enhanced the operation, handling, and sound of the KT. I'm sure others will chime in and voice their opinions. Good luck and I hope you enjoy the hobby. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions. There are plenty of helpful and experienced people here.
