Default RE: Differences in tamiya sets?

Be careful of shipping prices!

Check the Tamiya website for full option kit numbers and make sure which ever you buy matches that number.

Of the two kits Tiger and Pershing. I dont own a tiger so will give advice if you buy a Pershing.

1. replace the stock motors with 480's (this goes for tiger as well)
2. buy Daryl Turners quick change gearbox plate
3. cut the speaker box down to provide more room in the hull (It is very tight)
(put a strip of plastic to keep the battery from running up against exposed gears)
4. use tape to bundle wires do not use cable ties.
5. buy the idler upgrade there are two types both cost less then 30.00

I am sure there are Tamiya Tiger 1 owners who can make recommendations on for those tanks
Which I would also like to hear.

Regards,
James
