It is not overly hard, but some soldering experience would be nice to have. You will have to solder wires directly onto the Heng Long board.(Power leads to motors) With a steady hand and proper soldering techniques, this is fairly easy. If you have never soldered before though, this could be intimidating. A build up of heat is what cooks components, so you need to have an iron that allows you to quickly lay the solder joint down. Last thing in the world you want to be doing is trying to solder with a poor tip.

There was a good thread on soldering technique, you should search it out and read through the tips. You also will have to build a harness or terminal strip for the multi wire hook up to allow you to disconnect the wire for removing the top half of the tank.

A lot of us have done this conversion, and are here to offer you help, but we can't physically hold the iron for you. Practise your solding skills by soldering wire to a thin brass strip. When you get this perfected then the board won't be that tough.

I recently added the metal gear set for the T-34. This is a big improvement, but you must realize that the clutch feature of the nylon gears is gone. A stuck track could result in a large amperage being drawn which could damage the board. The stock motors are not huge amp pullers though, so the heng long boards run really cool with these motors.
