Quick update. I mocked up the HL electronics to try out the drivability of the chassis. I must say it drives like a dream. Excellent proportional control and smooth operation from the broke in gearboxes. Plenty of power if I decide to put on the metal tracks but I'm kind of a fan of the plastic. Here's a tip. NEVER drill your final elec mounting holes in an alum base plate until the tank is finished. The alum plate in my Tiger looks like it ran over a couple of mines there are so many holes in it
Since the lower hull is kinda done I have moved to fitting up the upper hull. Tons of sanding needed on the thick resin of the conv kit. Seriously, I don't know how I would do it if I didn't have an air sander. I'm going to shave the front fenders on this one as I like that look.
