Any way, opened my kit and was looking it over this afternoon when a package from carson arrived with some stand offs and screws. Kinda a weird think to happen. I assume it somehow didn't get packed in my kit but I haven't figured out what it was for.
So far, Im really hoping they are going to make instructions as I have no idea how to assemble the suspension. A lot of the baggies of parts shipped inside the hull got holes with parts floating around.

First, I am blown away by the printed turret and hull, its absolutely amazing.
But, for what the kit cost me, I kind of expected his own highgrade parts. Like his rubber pad abrams tracks. Not plastic HL tracks with 3d printed glue on pads that will wear off to white instantly, what a stupid idea, really....
And plastic HL abrams sprocket and pershing wheels? Ugh, I feel like I need to dump another 200 bucks into this kit to get the drive components to quality level of the rest of the tank. A real bummer to fell this way... sigh.
Then I would have expected his highspeed rotation box not a HL one.
All in all, it is a beautiful kit but over priced unless you just really have to have a m60a3. The sad thing is I still need to replace the cheap **** with quality metal parts for the quality of the tank just like when you upgrade a henglong.
Looking over the pictures I tend to agree. A lot of plastic for what you are paying. I appreciate the effort and if I had the money would buy one anyway as I have always wanted a M60, but like you I would be bracing it with aluminum and replacing many plastic suspension parts with metal. I look forward to seeing your build.
