Well I got all the electronics fitted in and had this one running around the back yard with the Pershing and the Tiger. I was pleasantly surprised with the run. It did not throw the track, and was the last tank running. The drive sprocket fell off the tiger, and the Pershing ran out of gas, but this Stug just kept on going. On the grass the solid suspension was not much of a hinderance . THe Heng long electronics worked great allowing slow speed and nice turns. Anyone who has one of these with stock electronics will know a super spin is about all that was possible. Spend the $39 and get the S&S transmitter package, and you can turn one of these into a really good functioning tank.

Does anyone know if these had any sideway travel on the cannon? When I elevate the cannon the disc on the elevating unit forces the bbl a little left or right depending on which way the mechanism is turning. I was going to fix it, but if the prototype has some sideways movement, I'll probably leave it.
