hi jquest..thanks for reply...loving the bulldog..!! i'm new to r/c stuff and had not realised how cool these things are!![sm=shades_smile.gif]i picked the bulldog on the look of it, just preferred it to the others although have since found out that theres a lot more parts available for other models such as the tiger..? i've bought a 4000mh batt for it just for the longer running time as its a bit of a pain to keep taking out batt to charge? new batt i've got is unfortunately about 1mm too big so wires are a bit bent squashed in compartment[&:]will have to think of something..!! there's no on/off switch for the smoke machine either, tho that could be just my tank..? hasn't smoked anyway since i tried adding oil...!yep, got a few things to do when i get the chance! all in all tho, well happy with the bulldog..
