Thanks for all the replys fellas. Giant scale gas off road cars are my main rc addiction as well as rc crawlers so modding and tinkering are enjoyable to me. I am very interested in a rc tank. I pretty much wanted one since my first GI Joe battery powerd tank when I was kid but just never got one. I will check out the HL brand mentioned as well as surf the forum for all the info I can find. I like to do my home work before I jump in feet first. I'll be seeing ya.
